Frequently asked questions

What outlet does the Atosa YRU0280A-161 need?

It needs a standard 115 V, 15 A grounded receptacle (NEMA 5-15R) for its NEMA 5-15P plug. The unit runs on 115 V, 60 Hz, single phase. It is rated at 8.6 A and 800 W.

What water and drain connections does it need?

It needs a potable water supply and a drain. The water inlet is a 3/8" slip-style connector that takes 3/8" OD tubing. The water outlet is a 3/4" hose barb that takes 3/4" rubber hose with a hose clamp, and the bin drain is part of that outlet. Inlet and drain hoses come with the unit. Atosa recommends installing the included 3M filter system and replacing the cartridge about every 6 months, depending on water quality.

How much ice does it make and hold?

It makes up to 280 lb of half-dice cube ice per 24 hours and stores up to 88 lb in the built-in bin. Each cube measures 3/8" x 7/8" x 7/8", a size that works well in drinks and blenders.

Will it fit under my counter and through a standard doorway?

Yes, it fits through a standard doorway. The unit is 24-1/4" wide, 28-3/4" deep and 38-1/2" high, and that height includes the leg levelers. Its 28-3/4" depth clears a 36" doorway, and its height is far below an 80" door opening. Before installing it under a counter, measure the opening height and leave room for airflow, because the condenser is air-cooled.

What certifications does it have?

It is NSF listed and ETL listed. It conforms to UL Std. 471 and is certified to CSA Std. C22.2 No. 120. NSF listing shows the unit meets sanitation standards for commercial foodservice, which health inspectors look for. ETL listing shows it was tested to North American electrical safety standards.

What warranty comes with it?

Atosa covers parts and labor for 2 years from the date the unit ships from Atosa. Labor is paid at standard straight-time rates plus reasonable travel time. Atosa adds 3 more years on the sealed compressor, for 5 years of compressor coverage in total. That extra coverage is for compressor parts only. It does not cover the cabinet, controls, refrigerant, fan assembly or other electrical parts. Atosa does not cover consequential losses, and skipping routine maintenance can void the warranty.

How does it differ from the Atosa YRU0140A-161 and YR280-AP-161?

The YRU0140A-161 has the same 88 lb bin and the same 24-1/4" x 28-3/4" x 38-1/2" cabinet but makes up to 140 lb per 24 hours, drawing 5.3 A and 430 W. The YRU0280A-161 makes twice as much ice in the same footprint. The YR280-AP-161 is the earlier 280 lb class model, and the YRU0280A-161 replaces it.

What does the included water filter system do?

The included 3M water filter system cuts down on sediment, chlorine taste and odor, cysts and scale buildup. It is a 0.5 micron filter rated for 9,000 gallons at up to 1.5 gpm and connects with 3/8" FNPT fittings.

Does it ship free, and how is it delivered?

Yes, this model ships free. It ships on a pallet by freight truck. A lift gate fee applies to large items like this one if you don't have a loading dock and is calculated at checkout.
