Ice
ICE MAKER OPERATION
When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue to cool and maintain the ice supply.
NOTICE
Do not place cans or bottles in the ice compartment because they will freeze.
To turn off ice production: Raise the bin arm into an upright and locked position. The unit will preserve temperature for ice storage.
NOTICE
If not intending to use the ice maker, turn the water supply valve off. It is also important to raise the bin arm of the ice maker (see above). Failure to raise the bin arm may result in damage to the water valve.
Certain sounds are normal during the unit's operation. You may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, or ice dropping into the ice bucket.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick, knife or other sharp instrument to separate cubes. Shake the ice bucket instead.
During periods of limited use or high ambient temperatures, it is common for cubes to fuse together. Gently shake the bucket to break apart cubes. If not using the ice maker regularly, empty the ice bucket periodically to ensure fresh cubes.
It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. The cause is air trapped in the water because of fast freezing. It is not caused by the health, taste or chemical make up of the water. It is the same air that is in every glass of water you drink.
Remove the ice bucket for emptying and cleaning. To remove the ice bucket, raise the bin arm and remove the bucket from the ice compartment. Use the ice bucket for ice storage only.
SAFETY • INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION • OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • MAINTENANCE • SERVICE
ICE MAKER ADJUSTMENT
Ice Cube Thickness Adjustment
Interval - As Required
On ice maker equipped models, adjust the cube size by changing water amount injected into the ice maker assembly as follows:
- Remove the ice maker assembly cover (1).
- Find the adjusting screw on the ice maker assembly control box (2). The adjusting screw is just below the minus (-) and plus (+) signs on the control box.
CAUTION
Too large of an adjustment to the screw can cause the water to overflow the ice maker and can cause property damage.
- Turn the adjusting screw toward the minus (-) sign (clockwise) for smaller cubes or toward the plus (+) sign (counterclockwise) for larger cubes.
- Install the ice maker assembly cover.
ADJUSTING ICE HARVEST
- Remove the front grille (see GRILLE-PLINTH INSTALLATION).

Product Liability
Field service technicians are authorized to make an initial assessment in the event of reported damages. If there are any questions about the process involved, the technician should call U-Line for further explanation.
While inspecting for defects or installation issues, photos should be taken to document any damages or issues found.
During the assessment, if the service technician is able to find the source of the damage and it can be resolved by replacement of a part, the servicer is authorized to replace the part in question. The part that caused the damage must be returned to U-Line in its entirety. The part must be clearly labeled with the serial number of the unit it was removed from, the date, and the servicer who removed the part.
If the service technician determines the damage is the result of installation issues (water connection/drain, etc.), the consumer would be notified and the issues shall be resolved at the direction of the consumer.
If damage is evident and the service technician is unable to find the source, U-Line must be contacted at 1-800-799-2547 for further direction

DANGER
Electrocution can cause death or serious injury. Burns from hot or cold surfaces can cause serious injury. Take precautions when servicing this unit.
Disconnect the power source.
Do not stand in standing water when working around electrical appliances.
Make sure the surfaces you touch are not hot or frozen.
Do not touch a bare circuit board unless you are wearing an anti-static wrist strap that is grounded to an electrical ground or grounded water pipe.
Handle circuit boards carefully and avoid touching components.
To measure the start winding resistance, measure across the C and S pins.
To measure the run winding resistance, measure across the C and R pins.
Also check S to R and you should get the sum of the run and start windings.
To ensure the windings are not shorted, check the S and R to ground.

These temperature controls are double throw, single pole controls. The sensing tube is inserted into the ice maker mold and senses mold temperature. After ice is sensed in the mold, the 2-3 contacts open (stopping the compressor) and the 2-1 contacts are closed (starting the ice maker motor). The 2-3 contacts close (2-1 contacts open) before the end of the ice harvest cycle. The hold switch prevents power going back to the compressor. This prepares the control for the next cycle.
