Its efficient double-sided stainless steel evaporators create uniquely shaped crescent ice cubes, known for being the purest and hardest on the market, making it ideal for various applications. This water-cooled, stackable icemaker features a CycleSaver design and an EverCheck alert system, ensuring energy efficiency and easy maintenance. The KM1601SWJ requires a single-phase, 208-230v\/60\/1, 4-wire electrical connection, including ground, and must be hardwired on-site, as no cord or plug is included.
