The Manitowoc CNP0200A makes and dispenses nugget ice only. It suits bars that need ice close to the point of service and front-of-house self-service or buffet areas where customers need quick, reliable access without a separate scoop-and-bin arrangement.

Its nuggets typically measure about 10-12mm in width and length and contain 85% ice and 15% water. This balance creates a soft, chewable texture with good dispensability, while the high ice proportion provides effective cooling and helps limit drink dilution compared with wetter nugget ice.

The machine can produce up to 88kg in 24 hours as its standard daily figure, including the water content of the nugget ice. Its ice-hold storage is 5kg. The 88kg figure is production over a day, not the amount stored at one time, and site conditions affect actual output.

Place a cup beneath the chute and press the dispensing button. The simple push-button action releases nugget ice directly into the cup, making the ice-only CNP0200A straightforward for staff or self-service use and reducing the need to handle stored ice with a scoop.

Yes. The countertop machine has hidden connections for a neater installation, plus a silver stainless-steel exterior and front panel. These details help it sit discreetly in customer-facing buffet or self-service areas while retaining the durable finish expected in commercial hospitality use.

The stainless-steel front panel is easy to wipe and is designed to reduce hard-water staining around the dispense area. Clean the exterior with mild dishwashing detergent and warm water, dry it with a soft cloth, and remove and clean the water drip basin that catches run-off beneath the chute.

The unit measures 871(H) x 396(W) x 708(D)mm and has a 61kg net product weight. Its relatively narrow 396mm width can help with counter planning, but buyers should check the whole delivery route, the 708mm depth and service access before installation.

The CNP0200A requires a 230V, 50Hz single-phase electrical supply. Have a qualified installer check the circuit and the connection provided with the delivered machine against the current installation instructions before commissioning, alongside the water and drainage services.

Yes. It needs a potable mains-water inlet at 1-6bar and a suitable drain. Plan an accessible shut-off valve and union. The machine's drain line should have at least a 22mm internal diameter, fall by 25mm per metre and contain no trap; downstream building drainage must meet local requirements.

A suitable filter is recommended where the incoming water is hard. Water treatment can reduce scale build-up in the ice-making system and support consistent ice quality, but the filter type and replacement schedule should match the local water analysis and the machine's service requirements.

This is an indoor, air-cooled machine. Cooler incoming water and ambient conditions support higher output, while warmer conditions reduce daily production. Keep ventilation and hidden service connections unobstructed, allow maintenance access and use a site survey to set the final position; 88kg per 24 hours is the upper standard output.

Arrange for a suitably trained service person to clean the water-inlet screen at least every two months and descale and sanitise the machine at least every six months. This work involves panel removal and powered cleaning stages; follow the procedure applicable to the installed machine, remove existing bin ice and discard ice made with cleaning solution.

Yes. A bin thermostat stops ice production automatically when ice reaches its control point and restarts the machine after enough ice has been dispensed. This supports unattended replenishment between servings, but the integral holding capacity remains 5kg and should not be confused with the daily production figure.

For ordering or support, use Smart Hospitality Supplies code FU862 and Manitowoc model reference CNP0200A. The machine includes a three-year parts and labour warranty, giving commercial buyers a clear support period for the exact countertop nugget ice maker and dispenser.
