Q:Can this unit be shut off for a period of time and not leak when not in use? Not sure I know the difference between gravity pan and drain pan. What is this unit?

Answer This Question

A:  At a high level, most residential ice makers fall into one of these two categories: 1. Those that are insulated but do not keep ice frozen and allow it to melt. The melting ice needs to drain somewhere. Of those that need to drain, they may operate via gravity drain (water drains from the ice maker via a hose to a drain that is lower than the ice maker) or a drain pump (an internal drain pump moves water to a drain location farther away from the ice maker or vertically higher than the ice maker). 2. Those that operate like a freezer and keep the ice frozen. No drain is required. This EdgeStar IB250BL is the freezer type so no drain is required. For the question about shutting it off: It has an on/off switch on the front. But that shuts off the whole ice maker, including the compressor, so the ice inside will melt and sit in the bin. If you don't plan to use it for an extended period, I would definitely shut both the ice maker AND the water supply off.

    Q:Will this fit under the counter?

    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  This will fit comfortably under most standard counters. The product height is 33 7/16" and at least a 1/4" is recommended on top of the ice maker for clearance through which heat can escape [in addition to heat exiting through the kick plate]. I'd recommend measuring your counter opening to confirm.

      Q:Can this unit be put in a garage.
      by|Mar 30, 2021

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello. This model is not approved for outdoor use. EdgeStar does make model IB250SSOD as an outdoor version in stainless steel. I mention this because many garages have no insulation or weatherproofing. The ice maker will function with ambient temperatures between 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit, though, so your garage may be suitable if it is insulated and/or conditioned.

        A:  Yes.

        by|Mar 10, 2021

          A:  Hello. No, this makes crescent ice. Some people call it "half-moon" ice. It's the same type of ice that you typically find in your home's freezer. For clear ice, EdgeStar makes model IB450SSP.

            Answer This Question

            A:  Not the most helpful answer, but it's neither glossy nor matte. It's a smooth door (no texture). It's not glossy but does reflect some light. I hope that makes sense...
