CLEAR ICE MAKER OPERATION
The ice maker side is designed to make clear ice from most water
sources on a consistent basis. Water is constantly circulated over the
evaporator assembly. As the water freezes, gravity causes any
sediment to drop into the water trough and not become imbedded in
the ice. This gives a clearer ice cube with a low mineral content.
When the ice reaches the desired thickness, it falls off the evaporator
and into the storage bin. The cycle is then repeated until the ice bin is
full and then stops automatically. As the ice level in the bin drops the
unit will automatically restart to keep the bin full.
Your unit’s ice production rate may vary depending on many considera-
tions. Ambient air temperatures, water temperatures, a high level of
opening and closing, loading the refrigerator with warm items, condenser
cleanliness and ice-maker cleanliness are all contributing factors to how
quickly the unit produces ice. The refrigerator portion of the CLRCO2075
will take precedence over producing ice to protect any perishables.
Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear
the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, the water circulation
pump or ice dropping into the ice storage bin.
ICE CUBE THICKNESS
Your U-Line Clear Ice Maker uses advanced technology to make ice that
is crystal clear. This technology cascades a flow of water over a chilled
ice mold that is mounted vertically so no water sits in it. Because of
this ice making technology, clear ice cubes differ significantly from reg-
ular ice cubes. Differences are as follows:
• Dimples. U-Line clear ice cubes
have “dimples” on one side from
the cascading water process.
• Cube Variations. Cubes made
from different batches, or even
cubes within the same batch may
have varying dimples, thicknesses
and/or sizes due to the cascading
water process.
• Cube “slabbing”. The U-Line clear
ice maker makes a “slab” of ice
that falls from the vertical mold
relying on gravity to break the ice
bridges. Depending on the control
setting, and the fullness of the ice bucket, it maybe necessary to tap
the ice slab with the ice scoop to break it apart.
