This 18" ice maker produces ice with a shape and size that makes it ideal for a variety of entertaining needs. Fully Flush Installation blends with surrounding cabinetry for a refined built-in look. A drop-down door helps enable that flush appearance while providing convenient access to the deep storage bin, which can hold up to 35 pounds of ice. Fully Flush Installation allows the door to sit flush without protruding or leaving a gap between the ice maker and adjoining cabinets, providing a built-in look that adds a touch of style to your kitchen or bar space. Self-Cleaning Cycle makes routine maintenance easy using a "clean cycle" and Affresh® ice maker cleaner. PrintShield™ Finish resists smudges and fingerprints. The specialized coating for stainless steel is easy to clean with just water and a soft cloth, so you can spend more time cooking and less time cleaning up.
