Sub Zero Ice Makers

Sub-Zero Ice Makers at Plesser's Appliances

Sub-Zero ice makers, available at Plesser's Appliances, produce and store ice on demand at the bar or in the kitchen, without taking capacity from the refrigerator. Built in Wisconsin by Sub-Zero Group, these undercounter units install built-in or freestanding and carry the same integration options and construction standards as the rest of the Sub-Zero lineup.

Dedicated Ice Production
A standalone ice maker produces substantially more ice per day than a refrigerator's ice compartment and puts it where drinks are actually made. For entertaining, that is the difference between a full bin and a mid-evening trip to the store. Daily production and bin capacity vary by model — confirm both against the spec sheet for your expected volume.

Water Filtration
Ice takes on whatever is in the water it is made from, including chlorine taste and odor. Sub-Zero ice makers use an advanced water filtration system to reduce contaminants before the ice is formed, which matters more in ice than in almost any other application since nothing masks it in a drink. Ask about filter type and replacement intervals when you specify.

Undercounter Installation and Integration
Ice makers install flush within a cabinetry run or sit freestanding, in stainless or panel-ready configurations depending on series. Specified alongside a Sub-Zero beverage center or undercounter refrigerator in matching finish and hardware, the bar reads as one designed installation rather than a row of separate appliances.

Plumbing, Drainage, and Rough-In
Ice makers require more rough-in than other undercounter units: a dedicated circuit, a water supply line, and depending on the model a gravity drain or a condensate pump. Whether a drain is required is the single most consequential item to confirm, because retrofitting one into a finished cabinet run or floor is not practical. Settle this before cabinetry and flooring go in.

Specification and Installation Planning
Ice production generates more heat than refrigeration alone, so front clearance for ventilation is not optional. Cutout dimensions, hinge orientation, and drain configuration all vary by model. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about width, water and drain requirements, filtration, and clearance so the rough-in is right the first time.
