The IYT-0500W water-cooled ice machine is part of the Indigo NXT series by Manitowoc Ice. It is an intelligent and energy-efficient solution for businesses that need to produce up to 535 lbs of half dice ice per day. This ice maker consumes 12% less energy than older commercial ice machines. One of the key features of this ice machine is its ability to adjust the volume of ice production and mitigate electricity usage during peak times. The EasyTouch display on the front of the machine allows for easy control of all ice-making tasks. It also provides cleaning reminders to ensure regular maintenance. The Indigo Series ice machine runs a daily self-diagnostic scan and provides detailed reports on any issues it detects. This helps minimize unexpected problems and ensures accurate service calls. The internal components of this Manitowoc ice machine are coated with AlphaSan, providing protection against bacteria. Additionally, the machine can be equipped with the LuminIce II Growth Inhibitor to automatically eliminate bacteria and yeast. The IYT-0500W is a head-only unit with NSF, cULus, and CE certifications. It operates quietly and maximizes ice output in warmer temperatures. The condenser is housed within the unit for easier installation and servicing. In terms of usability, the EasyTouch display provides access to all ice machine features. The machine initiates preventative maintenance and sends diagnostic reports to ensure prompt service calls. The operating status of ice production is displayed on the home screen, and a start-up wizard simplifies installation and setup. The IYT-0500W also offers lower overall ownership costs. It consumes 12% less energy and 23% less condenser water. It can be programmed to stop operation during certain hours to handle fluctuating electrical rates, and the ice programming feature allows for production according to changing daily demand. The refrigerant used is CFC-free and has a lower Global Warming Potential than older models. The ice machine has a solid build and longer cleaning gaps. The DuraTech exterior is corrosion-resistant and resists fingerprints. The evaporator is located on the front for easy access to the food zone, and certain components can be detached for easy cleaning. The AlphaSan coating keeps contaminants away, and the LuminIce Growth Inhibitor further aids in maintenance. Half-dice ice is the recommended ice shape for this machine. It has dimensions of 3/8" x 1 1/8" x 7/8" and
