Using the ice cube machine

It is important to consider the cooling technology of the machine. There are two different techniques, air-cooled and water-cooled. Air-cooled ice cube machines have the advantage of not incurring additional costs for water. The air inlets and outlets should have free space so that airflow can freely enter and exit. The ideal free space is 15 cm

It is also important to consider the size of the storage bunker when considering the consumption per day of ice. The ice cube maker will keep producing until the storage bin is full. It is therefore important that you choose a capacity that matches your consumption so that the storage bin does not remain unnecessarily full. This is because this is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold.

Maintaining the ice cube maker

Maintenance is important with any appliance, but with an ice cube machine it is very important to pay close attention to this. As long as the machine is properly maintained as specified by the manufacturer, the machine will continue to work optimally. First of all, cleaning the machine is what ensures a hygienic process of making ice cubes and prevents internal components such as the sensors in the machine from jamming. Good ventilation allows the machine to cool properly and will have a direct effect on production if there is not enough space around the machine.

The water temperature is also very important, if the water temperature of the drinking water connected to the machine is too high, the machine has to work harder and will take longer to produce ice. Water quality can affect the flow of water in the machine, hard water can cause a lot of limescale to remain in the machine and thus cause reduced flow. A water filter or water softener can already make a big difference here.
