Summit Commercial Icemaker Description:
Summit’s commercially approved icemakers are an attractive and durable solution to keeping a continuous supply of clear ice on hand in virtually any kitchen space.
ENERGY STAR certified for commercial use, Summit BIM44GCSSADA 50 lb. Commercial Icemaker is just 32 3/8″ high, ideal for use under lower counters following ADA compliant guidelines. It features a complete stainless steel exterior for added durability and long-term use. The front-breathing design allows built-in use under counters, while the fully finished stainless steel cabinet also allows freestanding use, with a sealed back for easier cleanup. The user-reversible stainless steel door includes a curved towel bar handle for a professional look. NOTE: this unit ships with a left hand door swing that can be reversed before delivery (add suffix RHD) or at home.
Inside, the Summit BIM44GCSSADA 50 lb. Commercial Icemaker has a touch control panel for easy operation. Indicator lights alert users to each step in the production process, as well as to when the bin is full. This unit can produce up to 50 lbs. of clear cube-shaped ice, with an adjustable bin capacity that can hold up to 25 lbs. The ice is produced in sheets and can easily be broken into cubes with the provided stainless steel scoop, which can be mounted on brackets inside for easy use. An interior light in a blue hue allows for easy viewing of the interior, while automatic defrost operation makes maintenance simple and stress-free. This model comes equipped with an internal pump, while four adjustable leveling legs keep the unit level on uneven surfaces.
Sized at 15″ wide, BIM44GCSSADA is ETL-S listed to NSF-12 for use in foodservice settings and can also be installed in any kitchen or wet bar. A panel-ready version (see BIM44GCSSIFADA) is also available.

Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Estimated dispatch: 3-5 business days when stocked in the U.S., though transit time to Australia (Melbourne) will be longer depending on freight method and customs. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping can be arranged. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia consider:
• Import duties and customs clearance including GST.
• Freight access: verify doorway width, corridor/elevator clearance, floor-loading capacity for unit and pallet.
• Electrical compatibility: this model is specified for 115 V AC/60 Hz (US specification) — if installing in Australia (230 V/50 Hz) you must ensure the correct variant is ordered or arrange a suitable step-down transformer or local compatible version.
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
The unit ships palletised, protected in packaging. Approx shipping weight ~100 lbs (~45 kg) plus pallet. Ensure the receiving site has a firm, level surface, clear entry/doorways, and adequate clearance for depth with door open (~93 cm) and equipment to handle the pallet (hand truck, forklift, etc.). :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or is delayed?
Upon delivery inspect the packaging and unit for any visible damage or delay signs. If damage is found: photograph condition, retain packaging and delivery receipt, then contact the supplier with your order/tracking details to initiate a freight claim or replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the BIM44GCSSADA?
1. Position the icemaker on a firm, level surface in a climate-controlled indoor space; allow for ventilation space behind and above per manufacturer instructions.
2. Ensure it is installed in an appropriate under-counter cut-out (height approx 82 cm), with full door-swing clearance (~93 cm) and width ~37 cm.
3. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching the unit’s specification (115 V AC/60 Hz) and ensure water supply, drainage/pump line (internal pump built-in) and ventilation comply with installation requirements.
4. Plug in the unit, power on, set the ice-making control panel (touch controls available), allow the unit to run for the recommended break-in period (several hours) before use, and verify the internal light, ice production cycle, pump operation and alarms.
What best practices should I follow when using this icemaker?
• Ensure adequate airflow: do not block vents or place deep cabinetry flush without clearance — front-breathing requires open space in front for cooling.
• Use the provided scoop and clean bin regularly; maintain hygienic environment for clear-ice production.
• Monitor the ice production cycle and storage bin: avoid overfilling beyond 25 lb nominal bin capacity to maintain optimal performance.
• Clean condenser and bin regularly, check the door gasket/seal and handle, and ensure the internal pump drain line is clear and functioning.
What should I do if an issue arises (e.g., low ice production, pump failure, temperature issues)?
If ice production drops, or bins do not fill, or pump/defrost issues arise:
• Check water supply and settled pressure, filter condition (if any), and ensure the drain/pump line is clear.
• Inspect fan and ventilation paths for obstruction or dust accumulation.
• Check indicator lights for fault codes, and consult service manual for error diagnostics.
• Record the event (date/time, observed fault), minimise interruption of ice service (e.g., have spare ice on hand), and contact service support.
