Hoshizaki KM-161BAK 24" Air Cooled Undercounter Crescent Cube Ice Machine - 156 Lbs.

The Hoshizaki KM-161BAK is a self-contained crescent cube ice machine designed for businesses that require high-quality ice in a compact footprint. This unit produces up to 156 Lbs. of ice per 24 hours while housing an integrated storage bin capable of holding 78 Lbs. Its signature crescent ice shape is crystal clear and displaces liquid effectively.

Constructed with a durable stainless steel exterior and a stainless steel evaporator, this machine is built to withstand the rigorous demands of a professional kitchen. The CycleSaver™ design ensures that the unit produces the same amount of ice in fewer cycles. Additionally, the front-in, front-out airflow system allows for flexible placement, as it does not require side clearance for ventilation.

Operating with R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, this air-cooled model is an environmentally friendly choice for modern food service establishments. It includes the EverCheck™ alert system, which provides audible notifications to staff if the unit requires attention. The slide-in door design further optimizes space, making it a practical solution for busy workstations where floor space is at a premium.

• Restaurant Size Recommendation: For small to medium establishments, such as coffee shops, small bars, or office breakrooms that require a steady supply of ice without the footprint of a full-size cuber.
• Maintenance Advice: Regularly clean the removable air filter to maintain proper airflow and efficiency. Ensure at least 12" clearance at the front and 0.6" at the top for routine service access.
