Reference: Ice maker/ice machine

Reference information:
"Ice machines are supplied complete with their own water cooled refrigeration system and are compact plug and play units designed to be installed quickly and easily. Remote versions are also available where the refrigeration unit and icemaker are separate units, so the ice maker can be installed in once place and the water cooled refrigeration in another.

"Ice makers are supplied without refrigeration and must be connected to an existing refrigeration system."
