Manitowoc IYT1500N-261E commercial ice machine

The Manitowoc IYT1500N-261E is a commercial remote-condenser ice machine that makes half-cube ice, rated up to 1533 lb of ice per 24 hours. Half-cube ice packs densely and is the most versatile all-round cube. That 1533 lb/day figure is the AHRI rating (90°F air / 70°F water); real output runs lower in a hot kitchen, so size with headroom. It measures 48″ W × 24.5″ D × 29.5″ H. It uses a remote condenser, exhausting heat outside for a quieter, cooler room. It is ENERGY STAR certified, NSF listed, wired for 208-230V. Manufacturer warranty: 3yr parts & labor, 5yr evaporator & compressor. Plan on a water filter — most manufacturers require it and hard water cuts production and machine life.
