CASO Design IceChef Compact Ice Cube Maker
The CASO IceChef Compact produces ice cubes on demand using compressor technology, which means no pre-freezing, no ice trays, and no waiting overnight. Fresh ice is ready in as little as 6 minutes, with output of up to 500g per hour or 12kg over 24 hours. Two ice cube sizes let you choose between a smaller cube for drinks and a larger format for pitchers or coolers, and a 1-litre water tank provides enough capacity for several production cycles before refilling. A viewing window lets you monitor the ice level without opening the lid, and the display alerts you when the tank is empty or the tray is full. A self-cleaning function simplifies maintenance, and the removable ice tray and included ice scoop make handling straightforward. At 42 decibels it is quiet enough for a kitchen or bar counter, and the matt black housing and carrying handle make it presentable and portable.
Features:
Compressor technology, ice in 6 minutes: The built-in compressor produces fresh ice cubes in as little as 6 minutes without any pre-freezing, making it ready to use on demand whenever you need it.
500g per hour, 12kg in 24 hours: Capable of producing 500g of ice per hour or up to 12kg over a 24-hour period, providing a continuous supply for entertaining, cocktail service, or everyday use.
Two ice cube sizes: Choose between two cube sizes to suit the application, from smaller cubes for individual drinks to larger cubes for pitchers, coolers, or slow-melt applications.
1-litre water tank with alert display: The 1-litre water tank is visible through a viewing window, and the display alerts you when the tank needs refilling or when the ice tray is full, allowing uninterrupted operation.
Self-cleaning function and removable tray: A self-cleaning cycle simplifies hygiene maintenance, and the removable ice cube tray and included ice scoop make emptying and serving convenient.

Care instructions:
Self-cleaning cycle: Run the self-cleaning function regularly following the instruction manual procedure. This flushes internal components and helps prevent limescale and residue build-up from affecting the taste of the ice.
Water tank: Empty and rinse the water tank regularly, particularly if the machine will not be used for an extended period. Do not leave standing water in the tank.
Removable ice tray: Remove and wash the ice tray in warm soapy water periodically. Rinse thoroughly and dry before replacing.
Exterior: Wipe the matt black housing with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners that could mark the matte finish.
What to avoid: Do not use the machine without water in the tank. Do not block the ventilation areas. Do not use carbonated or flavoured water in the tank. Store in a dry location when not in use for extended periods.
Questions and answers:
Does this store ice or just make it?
The IceChef Compact makes ice on demand rather than storing it long-term. The removable tray holds the freshly made ice, but the machine does not function as a freezer to keep a large stock frozen indefinitely. Ice left in the tray at room temperature will begin to melt. For longer-term storage, transfer made ice to a freezer or insulated ice bucket.
How much water does it use per batch?
The source data does not specify water consumption per batch or per cube cycle. The 1-litre tank provides the water supply for multiple production cycles. How frequently you will need to refill depends on the cube size selected and the production rate you are running.
How does the self-cleaning function work?
The source data does not detail the specific cleaning cycle steps. Self-cleaning functions on ice makers of this type typically run water through the internal components to flush residue and mineral build-up. Check the instruction manual for the correct procedure, including whether a cleaning solution should be added to the tank.
Is it suitable for continuous use during a party or event?
Yes, within the stated output capacity. At 500g per hour it can maintain a steady supply of ice throughout an event, provided the water tank is refilled as needed. At a production rate of around 8g per minute, it is well suited to keeping up with moderate demand from a small group rather than high-volume commercial service.
