The KM1601SWJ ice maker produces approximately 1660 lbs of crescent cubed ice, and can be stacked with another unit for double the ice production in the same floor space. Its efficient double-sided stainless steel evaporators create uniquely shaped crescent ice cubes, known for being the purest and hardest on the market, making it ideal for various applications. This water-cooled, stackable icemaker features a CycleSaver design and an EverCheck alert system, ensuring energy efficiency and easy maintenance. The KM1601SWJ requires a single-phase, 208-230v/60/1, 4-wire electrical connection, including ground, and must be hardwired on-site, as no cord or plug is included. If a neutral is unavailable, a transformer kit (HS-5030) is required for installation.
