Ice-makers

Indel Isotherm boat ice makers solve a classic problem: how to have ice on board without sacrificing precious space with an extra freezer. These models, designed specifically for the marine environment, offer an excellent combination of performance, compact size, and low power consumption.

Designed for recessed installation, Indel ice makers integrate seamlessly into your galley or wet bar. The availability of models with and without a flange makes it easy to adapt to different configurations. Power options include 12/24V or 220V for maximum flexibility.

Power Consumption Considerations: An ice maker is an accessory that can impact your boat's energy autonomy. Carefully check the power consumption data (expressed in Amps/hour) and size your battery bank accordingly. Consider an ice generator to keep your energy consumption low.

The Officina Basile Recommendation

• Installation: Entrust the installation to a qualified technician. An incorrect electrical connection or insufficient ventilation can compromise the operation and lifespan of the ice machine.


• Maintenance: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and periodic maintenance. Limescale buildup can reduce efficiency and damage the mechanism.


• Accessories: Consider adding a water filter. It improves the quality of the ice and protects the ice maker from impurities.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a household ice maker on my boat?

Technically yes, but it's not recommended. Home models are not designed to withstand the humidity, vibrations, and voltage fluctuations typical of the marine environment. They also often have high energy consumption, unsuitable for use with batteries.

What is the difference between a 12V and a 220V ice maker?

The 12V model is powered directly by the on-board batteries, ideal for offshore cruising or fishing. The 220V model requires a generator or shore power connection. The choice depends on your needs and the type of boat.

How do you clean an ice maker?

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Empty the water tank and clean the inside with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. To remove limescale, use a solution of water and white vinegar. Rinse thoroughly before reusing.

How much ice does an ice machine produce in 24 hours?

Production varies depending on the model and ambient temperature. Typically, a marine ice maker produces between 10 and 15 kg of ice per day.
