Summit BIM271OS 15" Drain-Free Outdoor Icemaker, 25 lb. Crescent Ice per Day, 22 lb. Storage, Stainless Steel, 115V
Description
A 14-7/8"-wide outdoor-rated crescent icemaker that needs only a water line, no drain, and fits under the counter or stands alone.
The Summit BIM271OS makes up to 25 lb. of crescent ice a day and stores up to 22 lb. in a removable, insulated bucket. It needs no drain or pump: connect a standard 1/4" OD water line to the pre-installed hose and plug it into 115V. The front-breathing, sealed-back cabinet can be built in under a counter or used freestanding, and at 34" high it fits standard counters. Summit's weatherproof design allows outdoor kitchens; its manual calls for cover from rain under an awning or canopy.
