An icon-based touch screen runs the machine. You can program ice production by time of day or daily volume to use off-peak power or shut off overnight.
Self-monitoring
Intelligent diagnostics give 24-hour preventive maintenance feedback. An acoustical ice sensing probe and Active Sense keep harvests consistent in challenging water conditions and environments.
Easy-clean food zone
An easy-access front panel and removable water trough, distribution tube, curtain and probes speed cleaning. Select parts use AlphaSan antimicrobial.
DuraTech exterior
The DuraTech exterior resists corrosion better than stainless steel, and its clear coat resists fingerprints and dirt.

Delivery and setup
- Free shipping on this item. See our shipping policy for delivery details.
- Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Install indoors, away from heat sources and direct sunlight, on a floor that can carry the machine plus a full bin of ice. The ice machine and bin must be level.
- Have a licensed electrician provide a dedicated, grounded circuit: 208-230V, 60 Hz, maximum fuse 30 A (single phase). Manitowoc does not recommend GFCI protection; if code requires it, use a GFCI breaker, not an outlet.
- A plumber connects the 3/8" FPT potable water inlet and the 1/2" FPT ice making drain. Vent the ice machine and bin drains separately, end the bin drain at an air gap, and fit a union at the machine. Do not connect hot water.
- Leave 36" in front so the front panel can open for service. De-scale and sanitize the ice machine and bin after installation.
