ICE CUBE THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT
NOTICE
Ice thickness adjustment should only be made
one increment at a time. Allow ice maker
production to stabilize for 24 hours before
rechecking ice thickness.
Ice is produced in layers resulting in a clear cube. Ice in
bin may develop surface frost which disappears when cube
is placed in liquid.
Ice cubes in any given batch will vary, so it is necessary
to choose cubes from the sample area for comparison
when making adjustments.
The ice cube thickness is factory set for best overall
performance. The factory setting is designed to maintain
an ice bridge of approximately 1/16" to 1/8" (1.6 mm to
3.2 mm) under normal conditions, resulting in a dimple of
approximately 1/4" to 1/2" (6.4 mm to 12.7 mm) in
depth. A fuller cube with less of a dimple results in a
thicker ice bridge. As the ice bridge becomes thicker, the
tendency for the cubes to stay together as a slab
increases. A bridge thicker than 1/8" (3.2 mm) may cause
cubes to overfill the ice bucket.
32 ice cubes are formed on a 4 x 8 slab during each cycle.
Each cycle takes approximately 15-20 minutes at the
default cube thickness (0).

SETTING
Ice thickness adjustments are made using the control
panel as follows:
1. To enter the thickness adjustment mode:
• Press and hold
• The display will switch to "0" to confirm the
thickness adjustment mode has been selected.
The factory setting is "0". Use
