Indigo NXT has taken the guess work out of owning and operating a cube ice

machine. Incorporating a 2.8-inch reective touch display which provides access

to features: ice machine operating status, step-by-step cleaning instructions, one

touch access to the all asset information and a startup wizard to simplify the

installation and ice machine set up process. Indigo NXT provides the owner with

full status of ice machine, at all times.

Indigo NXT is paired with our new

D-bin ice storage bin, simplifying

access to the ice. The D-bin door has

been re-designed to provide built-in

side grips so you can easily grip the

door and lift to access the ice, no

NEXT LEVEL OF SANITATION

Indigo NXT is the easiest machine to clean inside. With its hinged door that swings

open, it does not need to be removed and placed on a dirty oor. A front facing

evaporator allows access to the foodzone without removing the top or side covers.
The inside is all white, so any grime or mold can be easily spotted, and with the
rounded corners, and unexposed tubes and wires, it is easy to wipe clean for those
intermediate cleanings.

Only Indigo NXT has an optional integrated advanced sanitation solution,

Indigo NXT provides further peace of mind that the LuminIce II sanitation system is
working by displaying a sanitation icon in the display frame. It displays blue when
working and red when it’s time to change the bulb. By having LuminIce II in
the machine, you will reduce your cleaning frequency. The average
owner will save $1,500 over the life of the machine

Indigo NXT coupled with the D-bin ice storage bin,

the new models incorporate R410A refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly

and has 48% less global warming potential than previous models. All models are

Manitowoc Ice

Over a half a million hours of testing went into developing the next generation

ice machine. New reliability methodology and HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Test)

were used to insure our machines will provide years of outstanding service.

Service & Support

• The easyTouch display provides service data for faster and more accurate service calls.

• The easyTouch display provides easy and quick navigation to set up and program the
ice machine for all applications.

• Firmware functional upgrades are easily made through the control board USB port.

• The front-accessible and isolated control box keeps electricity outside of the foodzone
improving overall safety.

• The front facing evaporator and refrigeration service ports make the interior of the ice
machine easier to clean and service to reduce overall cost of ownership.

Easy Frontal Ser vice Access Ports

For the past 17 years, FE&S (Foodservice Equipment & Supplies) magazine has named
Manitowoc Ice the Overall Best in Class in the ice maker category as voted by foodservice
consultants, distributors, dealers and operators. No other ice machine manufacturer can say

that. That’s why Manitowoc ice machines remain America’s #1 Selling Ice Machine.

Selecting the right size
ice machine for your needs

In any business, ice needs are rarely uniform. For example, more ice may be needed
in summer than in winter, or on weekends than on weekdays. Size your Manitowoc ice
machine and storage bin to meet your peak needs.

Avoid sizing a new ice machine solely on the performance of your present equipment. The
age and mechanical condition of your present ice machine may mislead you in determining
the production capacity you need. Remember, surrounding air and incoming water

temperatures aect the quantity of ice a machine produces.

If you are starting a business from scratch and don’t have and existing ice machine, visit
our website at: manitowoc.com/sales/ice-calculator. The convenient calculator will help

you determine the size of machine you will need depending on your specic needs. After

determining how much ice you need, add another 20% to accommodate future business
growth. Taking the time to correctly size ice making equipment assures ample ice supply
during peak periods.

The Quietest Ice Machine
Ever Made

Up to 75% quieter than a
self-contained or standard

remote ice machine.

Manitowoc QuietQube ice machines
use an exclusive technology that puts
the compressor and condenser fan
motor on the roof. Our patented
iCVD technology uses cool vapor
rather than hot gas to harvest ice.
It not only makes QuietQube ice
machines the quietest ever; it makes

them more reliable, more ecient,

and provides high levels of ice
production too.

QuietQube Typical

Installation

Vertical Discharge
Remote Condensers

Remote air-cooled condenser systems improve

eciency, increase ice production, and conserve

energy. Remote systems for Series iT500, i606,
i906, iT1200, iT1500, and iT1900 ice machines
consist of ice maker, bin, remote condenser,
and interconnecting refrigerant lines.
(Each ordered separately.)

Automatic Cleaning System
(iAuCS®)

Eliminates routine maintenance. iAuCS counts the
number of ice-making cycles and, at a frequency
you select, initiates a cleaning or sanitizing cycle...
AUTOMATICALLY. Choose from 2 weeks to 6 months
settings. Available for most models.

External Scoop Holder

The NSF approved external scoop holder works with
the new D-Bin scoop and the optional Manitowoc metal

scoop. Can be congured 7 dierent ways, either bin

mount or wall mount, vertical or horizontal.

Welbilt oers fully-integrated kitchen systems and our products are backed

by KitchenCare® aftermarket parts and service. Welbilt’s portfolio of award­winning brands includes Cleveland, Convotherm®, Deleld®, tkitchenSM,

Frymaster®, Garland®, Kolpak®, Lincoln, Manitowoc®, Merco®,
Merrychef® and Multiplex®.

Arctic Pure® Water Filter with Quick
Disconnect Design

Conditions incoming water, reduces machine cleaning
frequency and service costs, maximizes equipment
performance, and improves ice quality. Features include

replaceable lters and compact size. All systems carry a

3-year parts-and-labor warranty (excluding lter cartridge).

LuminIce® II Growth Inhibitor

Creates “active air” by recirculating the air around the
ice machine foodzone components to inhibit the growth
of yeast, bacteria, and other common micro-organisms
(order factory installed or after market).
