Ice Makers

You pour drinking water into the reservoir, and the machine freezes it into ice in short cycles, dropping the finished ice into a basket. A countertop ice maker does not work as a freezer, so ice in the basket slowly melts and the water drains back into the reservoir to be used again. Move ice to your freezer if you want to keep it.

Countertop ice makers usually have a reservoir that you fill by hand, so no plumbing is needed and you can place them anywhere with a socket and some airflow. Built-in or undercounter ice makers typically connect to a water supply and sometimes a drain. Check the specifications of each model to see which type it is and what it needs.

Output is usually listed in kg of ice per 24 hours in the specifications, along with the size of the ice basket, which holds much less than the daily total. For parties and family gatherings, start the machine a few hours ahead and move batches into the freezer as the basket fills, so you have plenty ready when guests arrive.

Empty and unplug the ice maker, then wash the reservoir and basket with warm water and a mild detergent, and rinse well. Many manuals recommend running a cleaning or descaling cycle regularly, especially in areas with hard water. Drain any leftover water if you will not use the machine for a few days, and always refill with clean drinking water.
