Good to know before you buy:

• Power: it is rated at 2.61 kW on 240V. ICE doesn't state the plug rating, so ask us to confirm whether it needs a 10 A or 15 A outlet before you order. If a 15 A outlet is needed, it must be installed by a licensed electrician.
• Jug care: jugs are a consumable item with their own 3 month warranty. ICE offers a spare 4 litre polycarbonate jug with lid. Polycarbonate jugs are dishwasher safe but not dishwasher proof, so washing by hand helps them last.
• Bench space: it is 481mm tall and 378mm deep, so check the clearance under any shelving.
