FAQs
How much ice can it realistically produce during a busy shift?
The YR280-AP-161 can produce up to 283 lbs of ice in 24 hours, which translates to about 11–12 lbs per hour. That’s plenty to keep up with bar rushes, lunch crowds, or a steady dinner service.
How much ice can it store at one time?
The built-in bin holds 88 lbs of ice, ensuring you always have a backup supply ready to scoop without waiting on new ice cycles.
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.
Is the ice suitable for cocktails and bar service?
Yes. It produces half-cube ice that cools drinks quickly without watering them down too fast—perfect for cocktails, sodas, and mixed beverages.
How energy-efficient is this model?
The unit uses R290 refrigerant, an eco-friendly option that reduces environmental impact while keeping energy costs lower than traditional refrigerants.
What makes cleaning and maintenance easier?
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.
Who is this ice maker best suited for?
It’s a strong fit for restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, small hotels, and catering operations that need high daily ice production but want to save space with an undercounter design.
