Ice
The Nugget Ice Machine produces cylindrical bits of compressed ice approximately 3/4" x 1/2". Ice is produced until the machine senses the bin is full. As ice slowly melts in the bin, the level of ice drops and ice production resumes. This ensures a constant supply of fresh ice is always available. The factory default ice setting is 0, which produces a firm and compact ice nugget. U-Line's exclusive U-ChooseTM ice adjustability feature allows you five levels of adjustment from 0 to -5. At -5 the ice is soft and chewable. To adjust the ice density: 1. Hold for 5 seconds - display will flash current ice

Cleaning
EXTERIOR CLEANING Vinyl Clad (Black or White) Models Clean surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting. Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
Stainless Models Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners with bleach. Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish monthly. For best results use Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning weekly. Do not clean with steel wool pads. Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on any glass surfaces. Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for stainless steel on stainless steel surfaces (this includes glass, tile, and counter cleaners). If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami® or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser® and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always finish with Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further problems. Using abrasive pads such as ScotchBriteTM will cause the graining in the stainless steel to become blurred. Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible. For information on Keg and Tap Towers, please reference the Single and Double Tap Tower Kits User Guide on u-line.com.

Relay & DC Outputs
One of the primary functions of the main control is to operate the multiple relay and DC outputs during each cycle. Verify proper operation of these relays using the following procedure.
1. Enter "Relay Toggle" through the service menu.
NOTICE
Frequently toggling the compressor relay could force the compressor into overload. The compressor will automatically deactivate during an overload and will remain deactivated until the overload switch cools. This could take some time. It is important to allow the compressor at least 5 minutes off time between relay cycles.
2. Toggle the relay. Its related component should activate / deactivate with the switching of the relay. If it does not, test component.
Other Suspected Main Control Faults
If other components have been ruled out as being faulty, but the unit continues to have operating issues, it is most likely due to a configuration error. Some configuration errors can be cleared by restoring the unit to its factory default setting. Factory defaults may be restored through the service menu. If that does not work, check that the board is programmed to the correct model in the service menu.
! CAUTION
Precautions must be taken while working with live electrical equipment. Be sure to follow proper safety procedures while performing tests on live systems.

USER GUIDE

USER GUIDE
Thermistor
Thermistors are used for various temperature readings. Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected, it may be tested using an accurate ohmmeter.
Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor connection that has become corroded can cause resistance values from the thermistor to change as they pass through a dirty connection to the board.
It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to keep thermistor connections clean and dry.
If you change a thermistor in the unit, please re-apply dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor and the thermistor harness.
This unit has one thermistor located along the right hand sidewall of the ice bin. It is used to maintain the ice level in the bin.
