INITIAL START-UP OR START-UP AFTER AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
1. Water Purge
The water fill valve and the hot gas valve are energized
for 2.9 minutes (175 seconds). This ensures that the ice
making cycle starts with fresh water, and that the
refrigerant pressures are equalized prior to refrigeration
system start-up.
2. Refrigeration System Start-Up
The compressor starts 2.9 minutes (175 seconds) after
the water fill valve and hot gas valve are energized. (The
water fill valve and hot gas valve remain energized for 5
seconds during compressor start-up, and then shut off.)
The compressor remains on throughout the entire freeze
and harvest cycles.
3. freeze cycle
The condenser fan motor and water pump are energized
and remain on throughout the entire freeze cycle. An
even flow of water is directed across the evaporator and
into each cube cell, where it freezes.
The control system automatically determines the length
of the freeze cycle by monitoring the temperature of the
refrigeration system liquid line.
4. harvest cycle
The condenser fan motor and water pump de-energize.
The water fill valve energizes to purge the water in the
water trough. The hot gas valve also energizes at the
beginning of the harvest cycle to divert hot refrigerant
gas into the evaporator. The hot refrigerant gas warms
the evaporator, causing the cubes to slide, as a sheet,
off the evaporator and into the ice storage bin.
The control system automatically determines the length
of the harvest cycle, based on the temperature of the
refrigeration system liquid line at the end of the freeze
cycle. At the end of the harvest cycle, the ice machine
returns to another freeze cycle.
5. automatic shut-off
The ice machine shut-off is controlled by the level of ice
in the ice storage bin. When the bin is full, ice cubes
contact the bin thermostat bulb holder, which cools down
and opens to stop the ice machine. The ice machine
remains off until enough ice has been removed from the
bin. This causes the thermostat bulb holder to warm and
close, restarting the ice machine. When the ice machine
restarts, it returns to the start-up sequence.

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.
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.

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.
Do not touch electrical wires. Disconnect power to
the ice machine before making any ice thickness
adjustments.

When installing the tube, be sure it is completely
inserted into the drain hole to prevent water leakage
during normal operation.
Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles (and/or face
shield) when handling Ice Machine Cleaner or
Sanitizer.
Ice machine cleaner is used to remove lime scale and
mineral deposits. Ice machine sanitizer disinfects and
removes algae and slime.

Exterior Cleaning
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as
necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient
operation.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice
machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a
clean, soft cloth.
Treat all exterior stainless steel surfaces with a
commercial grade stainless steel cleaner/polish.
Ice Machine Inspection
Check all water fittings and lines for leaks. Also, make
sure the refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or vibrating
against other tubing, panels, etc.
Do not put anything (boxes, etc.) in front of the ice
machine. There must be adequate airflow through and
around the ice machine to maximize ice production and
ensure long component life.

Cleaning The Condenser
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine at the
electric service switch before cleaning the
condenser.
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in
excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces
ice production and shortens component life. Clean the
condenser at least every six months. Follow the steps
below.
The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when cleaning
them.
1. The washable aluminum filter on self-contained ice machines is designed to catch dust, dirt, lint and grease. This helps keep the condenser clean. Clean the filter with a mild soap and water solution.
4. Use a commercial condenser coil cleaner. Follow the directions and cautions supplied with the cleaner.
5. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.
6. Carefully wipe off the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth. Do not bend the fan blades. If the fan blades are excessively dirty, wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
If you are cleaning the condenser fan blades with
water, cover the fan motor to prevent water damage.
Removal from Service/Winterization
Special precautions must be taken if the ice machine is
to be removed from service for an extended period of
time or exposed to ambient temperatures of 0C (32F)
or below.
If water is allowed to remain in the ice machine in
freezing temperatures, severe damage to some
components could result. Damage of this nature is
not covered by the warranty.
2. Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft brush
3. Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check
1. Disconnect the electric power at the circuit breaker or the electric service switch.
2. Turn off the water supply.
3. Remove the water from the water trough.
4. Disconnect the drain and the incoming ice-making water line at the rear of the ice machine.
5. Make sure no water is trapped inside the ice machine incoming water lines, drain lines, distribution tubes, etc. Blow compressed air through the line if necessary.
Removing the Filter
or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Clean from
top to bottom, not side to side. Be careful not to
bend the condenser fins.
for dirt between the fins. If dirt remains: Blow
