Viking Built In Ice Makers

Viking Built in Ice Makers at Plesser's Appliances

Viking built-in ice makers, available at Plesser's Appliances, install flush within a cabinetry run at counter height, sitting in the millwork rather than standing apart from it.

Front Venting for Flush Installation
Built-in units vent through the front grille rather than the back or sides, which allows the cabinet to be surrounded by finished panels and counter without compromising airflow. Front-grille clearance still has to be maintained, and it matters more here than with refrigeration because ice production generates more heat.

Ice Production and Bin Capacity
Daily production determines how fast the bin refills; bin capacity determines how much is ready when guests arrive. Both matter for entertaining, so confirm the figures against your expected volume rather than assuming any dedicated unit keeps up with a party.

Cube Style and Filtration
Confirm what cube type your model produces and whether clear ice is available, which melts more slowly and dilutes a drink less. Filtration reduces chlorine taste and other contaminants before the ice forms, which matters more in ice than almost any other application. Confirm filter type and replacement intervals.

Coordinating the Bar Run
Specified alongside a Viking beverage center, undercounter refrigerator, or wine cooler in matching finish and handle styling, a built-in ice maker reads as part of a designed bar rather than an appliance parked in it. Coordinate widths and finishes across the full run at order.

Plumbing, Drainage, and Installation Planning
Built-in installation requires a framed opening, a dedicated circuit, a water supply line, and depending on model a gravity drain or condensate pump. Whether a drain is required is the most consequential item to settle before cabinetry and flooring go in, since retrofitting one is not practical.
