It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. This is caused by air being trapped in the
water due to fast freezing. It has nothing to do with health, taste or chemical make-up
of the water. It is the same air that is in every glass of water you drink
To provide for higher ice rate (production of more cubes), adjust the temperature
control to a
warmer
setting. If hollow cubes result, adjust temperature somewhat
colder
. For less cube production, adjust to a
colder
setting.
While the machine is operating, it is necessary to keep the ice bucket fully inserted as
much as possible to avoid cubes falling in the core of the unit. Should this occur,
simply remove the ice cubes carefully. DO NOT use a pick or a sharp object should
they be stuck. If necessary, thaw the ice machine.
B. ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
Model I-3 has an adjustable temperature dial located behind the louvered air intake
vent on the front of the machine.
1.
Remove the air intake vent.
2.
Locate the black or grey dial mounted next to the condensing unit.
3.
To create more cubes, turn the dial to the left (counterclockwise) one or two
digits. All the way to the warmest setting will not drastically aid the ice
production time.
4.
To create less cubes, turn the dial to the right (clockwise) one or two digits. All
the way to the coldest setting will not drastically aid in the ice production time.
C. ADJUSTING ICE CUBE SIZE:
On the Mermaid I-3 and I-3i models, the size of the cubes may need to be adjusted
based on personal preference and water pressure coming to the unit.
1.
Open the front of the icemaker.
2.
Locate the icemaker mechanism in the upper left corner of the unit.
3.
Carefully remove the white mechanism cover. No tools are necessary to
accomplish this.
4.
Locate the adjusting screw on the icemaker assembly control box. The adjusting
screw is just below the minus (-) and plus (+) signs on the control box.
