Detailed Summary of Manitowoc IDT1202A Dice Ice Machine

Overview

Model: Manitowoc IDT1202A (also listed as IDT1200A-261 in some sources, with “261” indicating 208–230V/60Hz/1-phase configuration).
Type: Modular, air-cooled, cube-style ice machine.
Purpose: Produces full dice-size ice cubes, ideal for beverages like cocktails, soft drinks, and bagged ice, where slow-melting ice is preferred for sustained chilling.
Ice Shape: Full dice cubes (7/8″ x 7/8″ x 7/8″, or approximately 22 mm x 22 mm x 22 mm). The query’s reference to “Dice Ice” is accurate, and earlier mentions of “Solid Octagonal Cube” were likely a misunderstanding, as no commercial ice machine produces octagonal ice. Sources note Manitowoc’s dice ice has a “rhomboid” shape, a compact square cube for versatile beverage use.easyice.comeasyice.com
Brand: Manitowoc, Indigo NXT series, known for advanced diagnostics, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

Ice Production Process

Water flows over an evaporator grid, freezing into cubes in individual cells.
The acoustical ice-sensing probe ensures uniform cube thickness, even in hard water conditions.
Once cubes are formed, the evaporator is warmed to release them into a separate bin or dispenser (e.g., Manitowoc D970 with 882 lbs storage or D570 with 532 lbs storage).
Note: The IDT1202A is an ice machine head only and requires a compatible ice bin or dispenser.webstaurantstore.com

Applications

Ideal for high-volume settings like large restaurants, bars, hotels, and catering operations requiring a substantial supply of full dice ice.
Full dice cubes are slow-melting, suitable for cocktails, soft drinks, and bagged ice, but less ideal for rapid cooling compared to half-dice or nugget ice. They are also used in bulk cooling applications like seafood displays.best-ice-maker.com

Warranty

3 years: Parts and labor on the ice maker.
5 years: Parts and labor on the evaporator.
5 years parts, 3 years labor: Compressor.
Note: A water filter (e.g., Manitowoc AR-10000 Arctic Pure®) is required for warranty coverage and can reduce service calls by up to 60%.ckitchen.com

Clarifications

Ice Shape: The query’s reference to “Dice Ice” confirms the IDT1202A produces full dice cubes (7/8″ x 7/8″ x 7/8″), described as “rhomboid” for their compact square shape, ideal for beverage presentation. Previous mentions of “Solid Octagonal Cube” were incorrect, as no commercial ice machine produces octagonal ice.easyice.com
