Product overview
The Hoshizaki B-1300SS stores up to 1,304 lb of ice in a 48-inch-wide cabinet. Its stainless steel front, sides, back and bottom surround a seamless polyethylene liner, with foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation in the walls and base. Pair this unpowered storage bin with a compatible ice machine, sold separately.
Upper viewing windows let you check the ice reserve without opening the lower door. The insulated, gasketed pouch-style door provides access for scooping, while the removable baffle helps contain ice when the door is open. Four adjustable 6-inch stainless steel legs, an 82-ounce scoop and a universal top kit are included. Exact ice-machine fit and any additional adapters must be confirmed before installation.
- 1,304 lb ice storage: 41.2 cu. ft. bin volume.
- 48-inch width: 41-inch overall depth including the front snout.
- Insulated ice access: Viewing windows, a gasketed lower door and a removable baffle.

Installation and ice-machine fit
Have a qualified installer verify the exact ice-machine and bin combination, mounting kit and any additional adapters. The included universal top kit does not make every ice machine compatible. Follow both the bin and ice-machine installation instructions; the ice machine’s electrical, water and production requirements are separate from this storage bin.
Install indoors on a firm, level foundation in a 45–100°F environment, away from direct sunlight and high-heat equipment. Fit all four legs and level the bin from side to side and front to back. Keep at least 6 inches clear at the rear and both sides for service, and allow the ice machine’s required clearances and room to open the lower door.
Drainage
Connect the ¾-inch FPT bin outlet to at least ¾-inch nominal-inside-diameter hard pipe or equivalent. Route the bin drain separately from the ice-machine and water-cooled condenser drains. Provide a vented tee, at least ¼ inch of fall per foot on horizontal runs and a minimum 2-inch vertical air gap above the floor drain. Complete plumbing in accordance with the instruction manual and local requirements.
Cleaning and ice storage
Use the bin for ice only. Wipe the exterior monthly with a soft cloth and neutral cleaner as needed; use a nonabrasive cleaner for chlorine staining. Clean and sanitize the bin at least yearly, and more often when water quality, operating conditions or local sanitation rules require it.
Turn off power to the separate ice machine and remove all ice before cleaning. Follow the manual’s complete procedure for the door, snout, baffle, sliding windows and bin interior. Do not use ammonia cleaners. Wear the protective equipment specified for cleaning chemicals and rinse thoroughly. For extended non-use, remove the ice, clean the bin and prepare the ice machine according to its own manual.
