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

Refrigerators Can Strut or they can DisappearMake your choice at Universal Appliance and Kitchen CenterUniversal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) is your best choice in Southern California for refrigerators of all styles and colors. Take a look at just a few of the different configurations of refrigerators available today at UAKC.Refrigerators that disappearSome refrigerators can be hidden from view with cabinet panels so that they blend into the surrounding cabinetry. When even hinges, grills, and toe-kicks are invisible the refrigerator qualifies for the designation of "integrated".The photo below depicts a GE Monogram Integrated refrigerator and wine storage unit.Non-integrated refrigeratorsIt's a matter of degree since some refrigerators have cabinet panels that match, but parts such as hinges or grills are still visible. These built-in refrigerators are not integrated, but still match existing cabinetry. The photo below shows a Sub Zero built-in refrigerator with cabinet panels that is not integrated because the hinges and toekick are showing.A refrigerator doesn't have to be built-in to accept cabinet panels. The french door refrigerator below from Jenn-Air is a cabinet depth model. While it isn't going to be flush with surrounding cabinets it does blend in nicely, and is much less costly than a built-in refrigerator.Refrigerators that show-offThere is also a school of thought that a refrigerator should be a showcase and the center of attention in the kitchen. No refrigerator does a better job of calling attention
