ABSTRACT:
In an under the counter ice making machine for producing an ice product, a two-part freezer compartment is removably assembled to a frame. The freezer compartment includes an upwardly open box-shaped lower ice bin and an upper hood that is removably mounted in covering relation to the top of the ice bin. The ice bin is mounted to and removed from the frame only when the hood is removed. The ice bin has a rear end wall and a pair of sidewalls extending vertically upwardly and the bin is mounted by rotating the bin and its rear end wall into position on the frame and seated behind an abutment shoulder extending from the frame. Thereafter, the hood is assembled to and removed from the ice bin by a horizontal sliding movement of its sidewalls along the top surfaces of the bin sidewalls. Removal of the bin is accomplished by forcing the rear end wall against the shoulder and then simultaneously rotating the entire bin, thereby causing the forward end to lift vertically upwardly from the base and the rear end wall to drop below the abutment shoulder, and moving the bin horizontally outwardly.
