Why choose an undercounter design?
Undercounter placement saves space in crowded kitchens or behind bars. It tucks neatly beneath counters, keeping ice accessible without taking up valuable floor space.

It has a removable air filter that you can wash or replace quickly, plus a stainless steel exterior that wipes down easily. The accessible power switch allows service without panel removal.
Does it require a drain line?
Yes. Like most commercial ice machines, this model requires a drain for proper operation. Planning for a nearby drain connection is essential during installation.
Is it certified for foodservice use?
Yes. It’s NSF and ETL listed, meaning it meets health and safety standards for commercial kitchens and bars.
