Venue suitability: Built for high-turnover operations - restaurants, hotels, clubs, function venues and catering kitchens - where the 225kg daily output and roughly 170kg on-board storage keep service supplied. As an air-cooled unit it needs good ventilation and airflow clearance; it is larger than a small cafe requires.

2 Years Parts and Labour Warranty
All Ice machines MUST be maintained to ensure high performance.
The cartridge on the water filter system needs to be replaced every 6 months and the unit must be de-scaled to clean the refrigeration evaporator plate.
This maintains the quality of the ice shape and thickness.
This program will extend machine life, improve ice quality, reduce bacterial growth risks, and ensure food safety compliance.
If your ice machine is not maintained, your warranty may be void.
