240

Overview

The Delfield 240 is a commercial drop-in ice bin built from stainless steel and fitted with a lift-off cover. The cabinet measures 21" W x 17.5" D x 17" H, weighs 36 lb, and holds 75 pounds of ice — a capacity aimed at high-demand service rather than light duty. The 240 is specified with self-contained refrigeration, an operating temperature up to 40°F (4°C), and a 115V, 60Hz, single-phase electrical supply drawing 2.0A. That combination — refrigerated ice storage, a cover that lifts away completely, and mounting that works either on the counter or into a plate shelf — is what makes this model a fixture in bars, cafes, and catering operations. PartHubz supplies the Delfield 240 along with replacement parts for Delfield equipment.

Key Features

• 75 lb ice capacity — ice storage sized for high-demand operations, reducing how often staff have to stop service to refill.
• Lift-off cover — the cover lifts away entirely for ice access, which simplifies cleaning and access, and it disassembles for periodic sanitation.
• Stainless steel construction — a hygienic, easy-to-clean surface listed as complying with industry standards.
• Countertop or plate shelf mounting — the unit can be set on a countertop or mounted into a plate shelf, so it drops into an existing service line or sits wherever a setup needs ice.
• Self-contained refrigeration — cooling is built into the cabinet, with an operating temperature up to 40°F (4°C).
• Standard 115V electrical — 115V, 60Hz, single-phase at 2.0A, the voltage standard in commercial kitchens, with energy use listed at 0.23 kWh/day.
• Service-friendly footprint — 21" W x 17.5" D x 17" H and 36 lb, compact enough for underbar counters and mobile service setups alike.

Installation & Requirements

The 240 offers flexible placement: it can be set directly on a countertop or mounted into a plate shelf as a drop-in, so it can be built into an existing service line or simply placed where ice is drawn. The cabinet itself weighs 36 lb, so plan the mounting point with the added weight of up to 75 lb of ice in mind.

Electrical

The unit runs on a 115V, 60Hz, single-phase supply with a 2.0A draw — 115V being the standard voltage in commercial kitchens. Energy consumption is listed at 0.23 kWh/day.

Ventilation

Provide a minimum of 2 inches of clearance on the sides and the top of the unit so the self-contained refrigeration system can ventilate properly.

Drainage

A drain connection is required for proper sanitation, so factor drain access into the chosen mounting location.

Operation

Cleaning & Maintenance

The cleaning routine centers on the lift-off cover. Because it lifts away without hardware, the cover simplifies cleaning and access, and the published specification calls for disassembling it periodically for sanitation. The stainless steel surfaces are hygienic and easy to clean, which matters in an ice contact application. The drain connection is part of sanitation as well — keeping it connected supports proper sanitation of the unit. Beyond those points, the published specification lists no additional maintenance intervals for this model.

Applications

Delfield positions the 240 for cafes, catering operations, and bar environments that need quick ice access. In bar service, it works as a countertop or underbar ice point for cocktail stations; in cafes, it supports iced beverage lines and self-service areas; in catering, it gives off-site or temporary setups a dedicated, refrigerated ice hold. The plate shelf mounting option lets the bin integrate into an existing counter line, while countertop placement suits mobile carts, seasonal stations, and temporary service points. With 75 lb of ice on hand, a station can ride through a full rush without a refill run.
