Ice Thickness Adjustment

U65 dice ice cube formation is slightly different from our 
previous models.  Manitowoc ice machines have a 
unique cube shape.  It is normal to have a dimple in the 
ice cube (a concave indentation in the cube).  Ice cubes 
from the U65 may appear to have a slightly larger dimple 
than other Manitowoc dice cube machines.  Therefore, 
cube size for the U65 is determined by measuring the 
slab weight (the combined weight of all cubes from one 
harvest cycle).  To determine proper slab weight follow 
the instructions listed below.

Correct Ice Bridge Thickness

1. Ensure the air filter, front, and back panels are 

installed properly and close the bin door.

2. During the third harvest cycle open the bin door and 

catch the entire slab of ice.

3. Weigh the ice slab.  The combined weight of all 

cubes from one harvest should weigh between 200 - 
270g (7 - 9-oz).  If the slab weight is within this 
range, the ice machine is working properly and no 
further action is needed.  If the slab weight is not 
within this range or you desire a slightly thicker or 
thinner cube, continue to step four.

4. Remove the air filter.

5. Remove the two screws holding the front panel in 

place and remove the front cover.

6. Locate the ice thickness control dial on the control 

board (see below).  Turn the dial clockwise for a 
thicker cube or counter clockwise for a thinner cube.

Ice Thickness Adjustment Dial

7. Assure all of the panels and air filter are reinstalled 

properly and the bin door is closed.  Repeat steps 
one through three.

After completing the procedure above, if you are unable 
to obtain a sheet of ice weighing 200 - 270g 

(7 - 9-oz) contact the Welbilt Service Department for 
further assistance.
