Manitowoc K00450 LuminIce II Virus & Bacteria Inhibitor Kit
Manitowoc K00450 LuminIce II Virus & Bacteria Inhibitor
Upgrade your Indigo series ice machine with the Manitowoc K00450 LuminIce II, an advanced sanitation system designed to keep your ice pure and your machine clean. This innovative device works around the clock, 24/7, to defend against microorganisms, ensuring your ice production is always safe and hygienic. The LuminIce II utilizes a unique combination of a 254 nm UVC germicidal light to sterilize the air and a 185 nm UVV light to create Cold Oxygen Plasma (COP). This photo plasma gas, containing ions, hydroxyl radicals, and ozone, actively inhibits the growth of viruses, bacteria, and fungi within the ice machine's foodzone.
By significantly reducing slime buildup and yeast growth, the LuminIce II simplifies your cleaning routine, saving valuable time, labor costs, and machine downtime. The system is fully integrated with the Indigo NXT's easyTouch display, providing a clear sanitation icon that indicates when the unit is active (blue) and when the UV bulb needs replacement (red). Installation is straightforward, and with no chemicals to add or maintain, operation is effortless. Keep your ice machine cleaner for longer and provide the purest ice possible with the Manitowoc LuminIce II inhibitor kit.
Key Features:
- Defends Against Viruses and Bacteria: Employs UVC and UVV light to create Cold Oxygen Plasma, actively sterilizing the foodzone.
- Reduces Yeast and Bacteria Growth: Proven through independent lab testing to inhibit microbial growth for a cleaner machine.
- Easier Cleaning: Minimizes slime buildup, speeding up the regularly scheduled cleaning process and reducing downtime.
- Fully Integrated Design: Mounts directly inside the Indigo NXT ice machine and integrates seamlessly with the easyTouch display for status updates.
- Easy to Use: A simple, chemical-free solution requiring only an annual UV bulb change to maintain peak effectiveness.

Shipping
Fulfillment for Manitowoc equipment is managed through a national logistics network. Because Manitowoc is the high-volume standard for the industry, a deep inventory of modular heads, undercounter units, and storage bins is maintained in both Eastern and Western hubs to ensure rapid deployment.
- Primary Hubs: The main 100,000+ sq. ft. distribution center in Mississauga services Ontario and Eastern Canada, while the Calgary facility provides dedicated support for the Western provinces.
- Lead Times: Standard in-stock units, such as the Indigo NXT iT0450 or iT0500 models, are typically processed and dispatched within 2 to 5 business days. For specialized configurations or large-volume project orders not held in domestic inventory, lead times generally range from 6 to 10 weeks.
- Freight Coordination: Ice machines contain sensitive evaporators, compressors, and electronic control boards. All units are professionally crated and secured to reinforced skids for LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) transport.
Warranty
Manitowoc provides one of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry, specifically designed to support the long-term reliability of their high-efficiency cooling systems.
- Ice Maker: The complete machine is covered by a 3-year limited parts and labour warranty from the original date of installation.
- Evaporator: The evaporator plate, which is the core component of the ice-making process, features an extended 5-year parts and labour warranty.
- Compressor: The compressor is protected by a 5-year parts warranty and a 3-year labour warranty, providing significant security for the refrigeration system's most critical component.
- Registration: To ensure prompt service, units should be registered within five days of installation. The warranty applies only to the original purchaser at the original installation site.
Service & Support
Technical support for Manitowoc is integrated into the Garland Canada service network, which is arguably the most robust in the country.
- Authorized Service Agents: Warranty and technical repairs are performed by a national network of factory-authorized providers, including major partners like Key Food Equipment in the West and Choquette-CKS in Ontario and Quebec.
- Parts Availability: A massive inventory of genuine OEM replacement parts—including water pumps, thickness probes, sensors, and distribution tubes—is maintained at the Mississauga headquarters and through regional distributors like Parts Town Canada.
- Technical Consultations: Provides direct technical assistance to help operators with initial setup, including specific guidance on the programmable ice-production schedules and the "Acoustical Ice Sensing" technology.
Exceptions and Exclusions
To maintain the validity of the Manitowoc warranty, the equipment must be operated and maintained according to professional standards.
- Water Conditions: Failures caused by adverse water conditions, specifically scale buildup or mineral deposits that clog the distribution tube or damage the pump, are explicitly excluded. The use of a Manitowoc Arctic Pure water filtration system is strongly recommended to maintain warranty compliance.
- Maintenance Neglect: Standard maintenance, including the cleaning of condenser coils and the 17-step interior sanitization process, is the responsibility of the owner and is not covered under warranty.
- Improper Utilities: Damage resulting from incorrect electrical voltage, power surges, or improper drainage and plumbing connections is not considered a manufacturing defect.
- Environmental Limits: Operating the ice machine in ambient temperatures below 40°F (4°C) or above 110°F (43°C) will void the performance guarantee and potentially damage the refrigeration system.
- Consumables: Wearable items such as air filters and light bulbs are classified as maintenance components and are not covered under the primary warranty.
- Freight Damage: Any damage sustained during transportation is a freight matter. Visible damage must be reported to the carrier at the time of delivery to facilitate a claim with the logistics provider.
