U-Line 3018CLR Ice Machine

Yes, because this is a high-capacity, built-in ice maker, it requires a permanent connection to a cold water supply line for continuous operation.

The U-Choose feature allows you to adjust the ice density and fullness across five different levels. This gives you control over how quickly the ice melts, which is ideal for different types of drinks.

While the machine is designed for home use, it does make some noise during the ice-harvesting cycle. However, it includes a 'Silent' setting that temporarily pauses ice production for three hours if you need a quiet environment for entertaining.

The unit features an automated indicator alert on the digital display that notifies you exactly when it is time to run a cleaning cycle, taking the guesswork out of maintenance.

This model is specifically engineered as a built-in appliance. While it can technically stand alone, it is designed to be integrated into cabinetry for a seamless, flush look.

This machine is capable of producing up to 60 pounds of ice per day, with a storage bin capacity of 30 pounds, ensuring you have plenty of ice on hand for large gatherings.
