Ice Production and Ice Bucket Capacity

Standard ice production in Sub-Zero in-unit ice makers is 64-96 ice cubes per day.

• It may take 2 days to fill an ice bucket when empty.
• An average glass holds about 10-12 ice cubes.
• 6-8 glasses of ice will empty the bucket after 24 hours of ice production.
• Ice makers produce 4.6 oz of ice, or 8 ice cubes, per harvest (each cube is 0.575 oz) every 2-3 hours.
• In-unit ice makers will stop producing ice once the bucket is full.
• Undercounter Ice Makers continuously produce ice, as unused ice melts and drains out.
• When a unit is turned on or if the unit has been manually defrosted, it may take up to 24 hours to produce ice, including Undercounter Ice Makers.
• There is no set default time for when the ice maker calls for water.
• Refer to Slow Ice Production for more information.

If equipped, the ice production may be increased by initiating the Max Ice feature.

• Max Ice is only available on Classic (formerly Built-In) and Designer (formerly Integrated) models with ice makers.
• Ice production cannot be adjusted in any other way. Max Ice is the only feature that will affect production.
