Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

Does Avantco warrant this item for use in a food truck?
Avantco warrants new equipment sold to food truck customers to be operational for a period of 30 days from the date of delivery if installed and maintained correctly.
R-290 (also known as high purity propane or CARE 40) and R-600a (also known as refrigerant grade Isobutane or CARE 10) are hydrocarbon refrigerants.

If your ice machine has been shut down or not in use for a prolonged period time, please reference your machine's user-manual for a restart procedure, often called “Winterization." Please reference your user manual or contact customer service with any questions.
This Avantco Ice machine’s capacity is based on a calculation using the bin’s dimensions. Also, they have a sensor to stop the ice making process which is located in the middle of where the ice pile stacks up. In order to maximize your possible capacity make sure to periodically spread around the ice in the bin and break up the ice sheets if possible.

This comes as described. I am very happy with the quantity and quality. You can use it without the feet to help with height space.

Doesn’t make ice. Always said fault. When I got it six months, I just unplugged it. Then put it back, it started working again. Recently I unplugged it, only make 2-3 trays ice. Then said fault. I called the company, they said we bought more than a year. Out of warranty. Now I see a lots people have same issues. Should I call someone come here to fix, or get a new one? Because I don’t want to spend more money for not useful.

Thank you for your review, Zhong! A Customer Solutions Representative will remain in contact with you about this ice machine.

Nice ice maker, easy hook up and quick start up. Ice bin only holds 20lbs before shutting off and showing a full status. Really wish it would hold 80lbs as advertised before shutting off.

What a great machine! We recently decided to upgrade our small coffee house (an outreach of our ministry) from just serving drip coffee and packaged snacks, to a more full service house, serving soft pretzels, sandwiches and specialty coffees - we installed an espresso machine, freezers, refrigerators and this ice machine. Once our plumber installed the machine, it was ready to go. Within 20 minutes we had our first batch of ice (our plumber suggested we discard the first few batches, which we did). It's a real workhorse, but it runs quietly - the only time I realize it's running is when the next batch of ice falls. Because of how our kitchen's plumbing is set up, we had to lift the machine so the drain had the correct fall, but other than that, there was nothing extra to do. Our small town has very few options for coffee, and once word gets out that we have these half-cubes of ice, that will be another drawing card for us. A great machine, and I'm glad we purchased it.
