The Hoshizaki KM-161BWJ undercounter ice maker makes crescent cube ice, one of the toughest ice cube types. These hard cubes melt slowly, and their unique shape allows them to pack tightly in glasses. It's water-cooled, transferring heat more efficiently and using more water than air-cooled models. With a self-contained condenser and a compact build, it fits into small spaces. The built-in storage bin can hold 78 pounds of ice and opens from the front for easy access. Ideal for small, low-volume places, it can make up to 153 pounds of ice in 24 hours under perfect conditions.

Using the Hoshizaki KM - 161BWJ ice machine is straightforward. First, make sure it's properly connected to a 115V power supply and a water source. Once it's plugged in and the water is flowing, turn on the EverCheck™ digital controls. The machine will start making ice. When you need ice, just open the slide - in door at the front of the ice bin. Remember, this machine uses more water than air - cooled ones, so ensure you have a sufficient water supply. For maintenance, regularly clean the machine to keep the ice clean and the unit running well. This will also help extend its lifespan. And keep an eye on the alert system of the EverCheck™ controls. If it gives an alert, there might be an issue that needs your attention. Also, since it's NSF, UL, and ETL certified, you can trust its safety and quality, but still handle it with care to avoid any damage.
