Koolaire KYP0500W 161 Description

The Koolaire KYP0500W 161 ice maker produces 522 pounds of ice per day, depending on ambient air and incoming water temperatures. Water flows through the white plastic food zone so that scale and minerals cannot build up over time. To access this area, two screws must be removed, and the door must be lifted off. Major components can then be taken out of the unit for cleaning. A bin or dispenser must be bought separately from the ice head.

For ice production to begin, the toggle switch on the Koolaire KYP0500W 161 ice maker must be set to "ice," and the water curtain must be closed. Water cools the refrigerant lines, which in turn cool the evaporator. It then runs over the evaporator plate and freezes in the cells as it chills. Once water flows over the ice thickness float switch for a long enough time, it shuts off and turns on the harvest cycle. This action stops the refrigerant lines from cooling the evaporator, warming it enough for the ice cubes to fall off into a bin or dispenser.

Note: This unit must be paired with an ice maker bin or ice dispenser.
