Ice Cubes

Thinking about a New Ice Machine?Do you have a need for an icemaker in your wet bar? Or maybe you've remodeled and feel that an icemaker would be a perfect addition in the rec room, family room, or basement. Whatever your situation, you'll need to make a fundamental decision between two basic icemaker types. Two Types of Ice Machines1 Standard Ice MachineThe first type of icemaker to think about would be one that's similar to the icemaker in your refrigerator. The icemaker itself is a small freezer, that will fit under a standard 36" high counterop. Water flows into an ice tray, located in the icemaker where it freezes. The tray dumps the cubes into an ice bin where you can access them for your drinks. You need a water line and a standard 120v. hookup.2 Clear Cube Ice Machine  An alternative to the ice machine described above as a standard ice maker, is an ice machine that produces clear ice cubes. These ice machines use a different process to produce ice. Water continually passes over or is sprayed upward onto a cooling plate or mold which gradually freezes the water so that it sticks to the mold or plate. Contaminents and impurities in the water fall away. The ice machine then drops the crystal clear cubes into the ice bin. Some models also make nuggets and even softer, chewable cubes. Clear cube icemakers do not have a freezer compartment to store the ice. Instead the ice in the bin melts

Choosing an Ice Machine or Ice Maker at UAKC  If you find yourself going through more ice than your refrigerator's icemaker can produce, it may be time to consider getting a separate unit to make your ice. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) has Southern California's best availabilty and lowest prices for undercounter ice machines and icemakers. There are two basic types of ice producing appliances available. Undercounter icemakers work on the same principle as the icemaker in a refrigerator. They are actually downsized freezers that have an icemaker built in. The icemaker consists of a tray that fills with water. The water freezes into cubes, and the icemaker "harvests" the cubes by dumping them into a container in the bottom of the freezer. The process repeats itself until the container fills with ice. Then the icemaker quits making ice until the ice level in the container starts to drop. The ice cubes are kept frozen by a cooling unit in the icemaker. An ice machine has a metal mold or cold plate. Water is continually sprayed upward onto the cold plate and freezes. Contaminants in the water fall off leaving clear ice. Heat is then used to separate the clear cubes from the mold or plate and the cubes fall into the bin below. Unlike an icemaker, an ice machine has no separate cooling unit to keep the ice cubes frozen. The ice machine continues to replenish the ice

A new fully integrated 30-in. single door refrigerator-freezer combination has been introduced by Liebherr. The 1500 series (models HCB 1560 and HC 1540) is a unique product in the industry filling an important niche for consumers who are space restricted, but still desiring a luxury refrigerator. Ideal for the luxury loft, condo, or apartment, the HC 1540 model does not require a water connection for the icemaker, which incorporates a removable 1.5-liter internal water tank for replenishing water used to produce ice cubes. Liebherr’s patented BioFresh system provides the perfect climate for keeping your foods fresh longer and makes a substantial contribution to a healthy diet. With the temperature maintained at just above freezing and at an ideal humidity level, fruit, vegetables, meat and fish retain their vitamins and minerals, delicate flavor and attractive appearance for up to three times longer than in a normal refrigerator.Different kinds of food need to be stored in different conditions to keep their freshness. The low humidity DrySafe is ideal for storing meat, fish and dairy products. Fruit and vegetables are best kept in the HydroSafe with a high level of humidity.The Dual Refrigeration System with 2 compressors creates optimal conditions in both the Refrigerator and Freezer. Separate silent cooling systems ensure accurate temperature and humidity control. Ice-cold dry air circulates in the Freezer section, while the Refrigerator maintains cool moist air, thus sealing in vitamins and safeguarding food. This technology also preserves the flavor and texture of foods since there is no transfer

Does the ice from your freezer taste bad? If so, there are three possible causes. 1. By far, the leading reason for ice that tastes bad is water that tastes bad. The reason water tastes bad is because it is not filtered or if filtered, the filter needs to be replaced. Water filters need to be replaced regularly. Even if they are not getting much use, they should be replaced at least once a year. 2. The second reason that ice may taste bad is because it is old and stale. Over time stale ice can absorb food odors. Throw out the old ice, clean the ice bin and start fresh. 3. Finally, air circulates throughout your refrigerator and freezer. It is possible for odor from open food containers or spilled foods to be transferred to your ice. The solution to this is to clean up spills and make sure food in the refrigerator is covered and sealed. For replacement of your water filter check online or call the folks at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center for more information. PH 877 696-2987
