While convenience and accessibility may not be the first terms that come to mind when you are considering an ice machine, it won't take long for you to realize their value, especially if you get an ice machine that is hard to clean, confusing, or just clunky.

If you choose an machine from Ice-O-Matic's new Elevation series, you can rest assured these characteristics were top of mind during the design process. Keep reading to learn more about some of their most beneficial features.

Sealed Food Zone Promotes Sanitation

Mold growth is one of the most pervasive ice machine issues. That's why Ice-O-Matic went the extra step and sealed their food zone. This design eliminates mold growth by removing the hard-to-clean areas present in other models.

Easy Food Zone Access

Regular food zone cleanings are an important part of keeping your ice machine sanitary. So it only makes sense that the Ice-O-Matic food zone is incredibly easy to access - all it takes is a screwdriver to get the panel - conveniently located on the front, not the top of the machine - off! The plastic parts snap in and out with little effort, and many are universally-sized to streamline maintenance and service.

Dishwasher Safe Parts

Wiping down all of the food zone components of your ice machine can be time consuming. If you own an Ice-O-Matic machine, all of the plastic parts are safe to clean in a high-temp dishwasher.

Dual Exhaust for Versatility

If you are tight on space, an ice machine with a dual exhaust system is a great choice. Hot air can be discharged from either the top of the unit or the side, so if you want to store extra containers on top of your machine or need to stick it right next to a wall, you can!

One Touch Cleaning

You don't want to fight with a complicated user interface just to clean your ice machine. Ice-O-Matic keeps it short and simple - you hit the button once to sanitize, and you hit it one more time to de-lime! Most Ice-O-Matic machines only take about 25 minutes to clean too, which is less than half the time required for many other brands.

They've also simplified the notification process - an LED light will tell you when it's time to clean, an alert that is straightforward and doesn't require consulting the manual.
