Atosa USA YRU0280A-161 Undercounter Ice Machine with Bin, 280 lb/24 hr, 88 lb Storage, Half Cube, R290, NSF
Atosa USA YRU0280A-161 — 280 lb Undercounter Ice Machine with Built-In Bin
The YRU0280A-161 is a self-contained undercounter ice machine: it makes up to 280 lb of half cube ice per 24 hours and stores 88 lb in its own built-in bin, all in a 24-1/4" wide stainless cabinet that fits under a counter. Air cooled, R290 refrigerant, a slanted blue plastic bin door, and a 3M water filter system included standard.
Key Features of the YRU0280A-161
An undercounter machine has to make and store ice in one cabinet, under a counter, with the condenser breathing through the front. These are the details that let it.
280 lb a Day, 88 lb on Hand
Up to 280 lb of production per 24 hours with 88 lb of built-in storage, so the bin carries a service period even when demand outruns the harvest cycle.
Freestanding or Built-In
The cabinet is rated for freestanding or built-in installation, so it can slot under a bar counter or stand on its own with 6" leg levelers setting the height.
Removable Air Filter, Front Power Switch
The air filter pulls out for cleaning and the power switch is accessible without removing a panel — both of which matter when the machine is boxed in under a counter.
3M Water Filter System Included
A 3M water filter system and cartridge ship with the machine. Filtration protects the evaporator and produces cleaner, clearer ice from the first harvest.
R290 Refrigerant, 7.49 kWh per 100 lb
An air cooled system on environmentally friendly R290 refrigerant uses 7.49 kWh per 100 lb of ice and needs nothing more than power, water and a drain.
NSF and ETL Listed
NSF and ETL listings mean the machine meets the sanitation and electrical standards an inspector looks for in a commercial installation.
Installation and maintenance: The machine requires the use of a drain, and should be left room to breathe with the condenser cleaned frequently. Install the included 3M water filter system and cartridge; Atosa recommends replacing the cartridge every 6 months, which may vary with water quality. Maintenance and cleaning are not covered under warranty.
