Hoshizaki DCM-271BAK 286 lb/Day Air-Cooled Cubelet Ice and Water Dispenser
DCM-271BAK
Product overview
The Hoshizaki DCM-271BAK combines an air-cooled cubelet ice machine, built-in storage bin and ice-and-water dispenser. Push-button controls serve easy-to-chew cubelet ice without scooping from an open bin. It produces up to 286 lb of ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water.
Upper and lower dispensing buttons provide wheelchair-accessible operation, with 10¼-inch cup clearance. A removable spout and stainless steel drain-pan grate provide access for cleaning.
- 10 lb nominal storage: .3 cu. ft. built-in bin.
- Push-button dispensing: Ice and water from separate selections.
- Air-cooled: Keep ventilation and service clearances open.

Nominal storage is based on total bin volume at an average ice density of 30 lb per cu. ft.; usable stored ice varies with ice density and bin conditions. Storage is not daily ice production. Production depends on air and water temperatures, water quality and installation conditions.
Dispensing and placement
Position the container beneath the selected outlet and use the ice or water button. Keep hands and foreign objects out of the dispensing spout. Store only ice in the bin. This self-contained machine does not require a separate ice-making head or storage bin.
Installation and access
Install indoors on a firm, level counter or a suitable optional stand, away from heat-producing equipment. Allow at least 6 inches at the rear and sides and 24 inches above for auger removal. Keep ventilation clear and do not place objects on the machine. Seal a counter-mounted installation as directed in the manual. Check the full installation drawing, projections, drain routing and complete leg or stand height before preparing an opening.
The optional SD-271 stand is sold separately. Confirm the exact support and leg package for the installation; a stand pictured with the dispenser is not included.
This model uses flammable R-290 refrigerant. Provide a room floor area of at least 7.2 m² (77.3 sq. ft.) for operation or storage, and confirm the delivered nameplate. Do not install in a public corridor or lobby or above 2,000 m (6,561 ft). Keep ignition sources away, protect refrigerant tubing and leave refrigeration service to qualified personnel.
Electrical and plumbing requirements
Have qualified personnel connect an independent, properly grounded supply matched to the nameplate and applicable codes. Use the supplied plug without an extension cord or adapter. If GFCI protection is required, use a GFCI breaker rather than a receptacle.
Supply potable water only, using at least ¼-inch nominal-ID copper tubing or equivalent with shutoff and drain valves. Install pressure reduction above 113 PSIG and correct water hammer before use. Select filtration for the local water quality and service it on schedule.
Use at least ¾-inch nominal-ID hard pipe or equivalent for the ice-machine drain, with a vented tee and a ¼-inch fall per horizontal foot. Maintain a vertical air gap of at least 2 inches above the floor drain. Route the bin and drip-tray drains separately; do not pipe directly to the sewer.
Cleaning and maintenance
Arrange cleaning and sanitation of the ice machine and storage bin every six months, including clear drains and drain pans. Inspect external water filters and wipe the exterior monthly. Inspect air filters every two weeks and wash dirty filters with warm water and neutral cleaner. Water quality, operating conditions or local sanitation rules may require more frequent maintenance.
Schedule qualified inspection of valves, hoses, wiring and the ice-making mechanism, including bearing checks at the intervals in the service manual. Greaseless bearings and the hourly flush do not replace cleaning, sanitation or inspection. Disconnect and lock out the electrical supply before service; the control switch does not disconnect every electrical load. Follow the complete cleaning procedure and chemical labels, and do not use ammonia-type cleaners.
Limited warranty
Three-year limited parts-and-labor coverage applies to the machine. Compressor parts and air-cooled condenser parts have coverage through year five; labor for the additional two years is excluded. Register within 30 days of installation. Coverage requires proper installation, use and maintenance and is subject to geographic terms and exclusions in the written warranty.
