Xo Built In Ice Makers

XO Built in Ice Makers at Plesser's Appliances

XO 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 construction makes a genuine zero-clearance installation possible.

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
A dedicated ice maker produces substantially more per day than a refrigerator's ice compartment. 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 unit keeps up.

Cube Style and Filtration
Confirm what cube type your model produces and whether it offers clear ice, 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 an XO beverage center or undercounter refrigerator in matching finish and handle style, 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. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about cutout dimensions and water and drain rough-in before cabinetry is built.
