Manitowoc CNP0202A 285 lb Countertop Nugget Ice Machine and Water Dispenser, 20 lb Bin, R290, Touchless Sensing

The Manitowoc CNP0202A is a countertop nugget ice machine and water dispenser built for healthcare floors, offices, cafeterias, and self-serve beverage stations that want point-of-use nugget ice on a natural refrigerant platform. It produces up to 285 lb of nugget ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 202 lb per day at 90°F air and 70°F water, feeding a 20 lb bin above the chute so cup-at-a-time traffic keeps flowing while the machine rebuilds the buffer behind it. Ice, water, or an ice and water combo dispenses from a touchless sensor that starts the pour when a cup sits under the chute. Its buffer is the larger of the pair and rides out meal-period surges that would outrun the smaller CNP0201 models, though bulk bucket-filling still belongs to a floor-standing machine and bin instead of a countertop dispenser. Plan on a 115V outlet for the factory 6 ft cord and NEMA 5-15P plug, a 3/8 in. water line, and a drain that runs out the back as shipped or out the bottom if the counter layout calls for it; the unit installs indoors only with 24 in. of clearance above the top exhaust.

285 lb Daily Nugget Production in a 16.25 In. Wide Countertop Cabinet

The cabinet measures 16.25 in. wide by 24 in. deep by 42 in. tall without legs and ships at 198 lb, sized to share a counter with the coffee station instead of claiming floor space. Storage capacity is 20 lb of ice by application rating, held directly above the dispense point for gravity-fed pours. Optional 4 in. legs are sold separately as kit K-00345, and the K00453 stand gives the machine its own footing when no counter space is available.

85% Ice Content Nugget for Maximum Cooling With Minimal Dilution

Each nugget measures 3/8 in. to 1/2 in. in width and length on average and carries an 85% ice to water ratio, so drinks chill fast without watering down. The texture stays soft and chewable, a shape patients and customers favor, while the small pieces flow cleanly through the chute for great dispensability.

R290 Natural Refrigerant With a 0.375 HP Compressor

R290 is a refrigerant grade propane that occurs naturally, with no ozone depletion potential and extremely low global warming potential, so the machine meets tightening refrigerant rules without a redesign down the road. The 0.375 HP compressor rejects 2,300 BTU per hour on average, draws 7.8 amps on a 115V, 60 Hz single-phase circuit with a 15 amp maximum fuse, and delivers ice at 6.35 kWh and 12 gal of potable water per 100 lb at the 90°F/70°F rating point. Operating limits run 45°F to 110°F ambient and 45°F to 90°F incoming water.

Three Dispense Options From an Up-Front Selector Switch

Ice, water, and an ice and water combo are the three dispense options, and on, off, and clean operations start from a simple selector switch on the front without removing a panel. This model ships with touchless sensing selected, keeping shared touchpoints out of the pour path in self-serve and healthcare settings.

Right-Side Air Intake and Top Exhaust for Tight Counter Placement

The air-cooled, self-contained condenser pulls air in the right side and discharges out the top, keeping the front clear for dispensing and letting the unit sit close to a back wall. The bin drain ships plumbed out the back with an optional bottom exit for a flush fit, and solid front panel kit K-00515 converts this cabinet to completely touch-free operation when hygiene policy demands it.
