Its efficient double-sided stainless steel evaporators create uniquely shaped ice cubes that are the purest and hardest available, making it ideal for various applications. This air-cooled, stackable icemaker features a CycleSaver design and an EverCheck alert system, ensuring energy efficiency and easy maintenance. The KM1601SAJ requires a single-phase, 208-230v\/60\/1 electrical connection with four wires, including ground, and must be hardwired on-site, as no cord or plug is included.
