The Frigidaire EFIC123-SS features a 304 stainless steel exterior wrap designed to match standard kitchen appliance suites. Inside, the unit uses BPA-free polypropylene and ABS plastics for the water reservoir and ice basket. Ice is formed on nickel-plated copper cooling rods and moved into the bin by a reinforced ABS ejector arm. Because this is a countertop "maker" rather than a freezer, the bin relies on medium-density EPS foam for insulation, and ice will begin to melt immediately if not used or moved to a dedicated freezer.
Specifications indicate a 1.7L to 2.3L reservoir capacity depending on the specific batch. To maintain the accuracy of the "Ice Full" infrared sensor, it is important to prevent hard water scale buildup, which can cause the unit to stop producing ice even when the basket is empty. The unit requires 24 hours of settling time after shipping before the R600a refrigerant is ready for operation. Weekly vinegar flushes are recommended to reach internal crevices and prevent biofilm growth.
