What Manitowoc ice machine parts are available?

Bin adapters and ice deflector kits enable you to mount an ice machine over a bin. Casters make your unit mobile, which can expedite cleaning beneath the unit. Leg kits can be added for clearance underneath your ice maker while keeping the unit stationary.

How often should I replace my water filter cartridge?

To ensure your ice is clear and tastes good, you must have an ice maker filter attached to your incoming waterline. The filter also reduces limescale buildup that could negatively affect your unit's operation. As a general rule, you should change your water filter cartridge every six months. However, if your machine is installed in a location with poor water quality, the filter may need to be changed more often.

How does the Manitowoc Ice LuminIce II growth inhibitor keep my unit clean?

The Manitowoc Ice LuminIce II growth inhibitor facilitates cleaning by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and yeast. It works by creating "active air," which is produced by recirculating air inside the food zone over a UV light. As the "active air" passes over the food zone, it limits the growth of unwanted microorganisms. It runs 24 hours a day, saving labor and costs by reducing machine downtime while cleaning.

Do I need a bin adapter?

If you want to customize your ice machine head and bin setup, then a bin adapter would help you accomplish this. If you don't have a high demand for ice, you can use a bin adapter to pair a small ice machine head with a larger bin for storing. If you expect to need a steady supply of ice, you can pair a high-production ice machine head with a smaller bin. Before purchasing your bin adapter kit, ensure your ice machine head and bin are compatible.
