The Whynter UIM-502SS stainless steel automatic ice maker complements any modern kitchen or bar area. This high-capacity ice maker makes up to 80 lbs. of ice in 24 hours and can store up to 25 lbs. The stainless steel housing ensures that you won't get any smudges or prints on the exterior, all the while keeping this undercounter ice machine safe from normal wear and tear. Minerals and deposits are removed by the water recirculation system and deposited in the water trough. Clear ice cubes are produced when clean water freezes to the ice grid and cascades down onto the ice tray from the distribution tube. In addition, fresh water is continuously pumped into the trough and circulated to produce clear cubes of the desired thickness and a steady stream of clean water. This versatile freestanding / built-in ice maker also comes with an inline water filter that is certified to NSF standards. This means that the water filter has been tested for safety. This filter can remove chlorine and will not leach contaminants into your drinking water. This stainless steel ice maker features an advanced evaporator system that produces tasteless, odorless, and crystal-clear ice. This energy-efficient unit produces restaurant-quality clear ice at a lower utility cost compared to other similar brands. *For installation, please consult a professional plumber.
