Product Description
Bartscher HK150 Ice Maker Manual: Your Guide to Reliable, Fast Ice
Compact Powerhouse for Home Bars and Small Venues
Efficient, Clean, and Easy Ice Production
The Bartscher HK150 Ice Maker is a compact, air-cooled ice machine built to deliver dependable performance with minimal hassle. Designed around a vertical evaporator system, it produces up to 15 kg of cone-shaped (hollow) ice per hour and stores up to 1.5 kg, making it ideal for home bars, offices, small cafés, and event setups. With a 4.5 L water tank and clear status indicators, the HK150 keeps your ice flowing without constant supervision.
This model features selectable ice sizes—S, M, and L—so you can tailor cube diameter to drink style, from quick-chilling mixers to spirit-forward cocktails. The control panel is simple and intuitive: one button to power, one to choose size, plus indicator lights for water refill, bin full, and operation. An included ice shovel makes serving effortless.
Installation is straightforward: place on a stable, ventilated surface with 10–15 cm clearance and avoid heat sources or high humidity. After transport, let the coolant settle for an hour before powering on. For best hygiene, discard the first batch and, after longer pauses, run 2–3 cleaning cycles with fresh water. Regular descaling with vinegar solution or a suitable agent keeps performance optimal and prevents mineral buildup.
Safety is built-in and emphasized throughout the Bartscher HK150 Ice Maker Manual: always match the power rating, keep the unit dry, and avoid using flammable cleaners. The machine automatically pauses when the bin is full or the tank is empty and will notify you via indicator lights. In case of minor issues like stuck ice or low water, quick checks and resets restore operation.
With sturdy construction, thoughtful safety features, and user-friendly controls, the Bartscher HK150 strikes a balance between capacity and convenience—delivering fresh ice consistently for daily use or entertaining.
Notes:
- Optimal ambient temperature: 10–38°C; use cooler water for better output.
