An ice machine includes a water curtain configured to minimize the flow of water into an ice bin underneath the ice machine. The water curtain is positioned adjacent to the front surface of an ice-forming mold and includes a body having a wide section and a narrow section. The wide section has hinge members therein so that the water curtain can swing away from the ice-forming mold during ice harvesting. The water curtain has a tongue at the bottom of the narrow section that is turned toward the ice-forming mold. Sidewalls of the water curtain extend toward the ice-forming mold. The sidewalls have indentations such that the narrow section is spaced inward from machine frame members adjacent to the sidewall when the water curtain is in a rest position.
