In regions with hot climates, it is recommended to use water-cooled commercial ice makers instead of air-cooled units. Air-cooled units struggle to produce ice efficiently and can work against HVAC systems that are meant to cool the establishment. The Scotsman C0522SW-32 Prodigy Plus cubes ice machine is a suitable option for establishments that require less than 480 lbs of ice production in a 24-hour period and have a power configuration of 208-230v/60/1-ph. This ice machine features a water-cooled condenser that consumes 152 gallons of water to produce 100 lbs of ice. Scotsman has incorporated various user-friendly features into this unit based on feedback from their customers, making it one of the top-performing and easiest-to-use commercial ice makers available. Some of the notable features of the Scotsman C0522SW-32 Prodigy Plus cubes ice machine include the AutoAlert™ Indicator Lights, which provide an intuitive system for displaying device status to users. The One-Touch Cleaning feature automates the cleaning cycle, reducing labor costs by requiring minimal user intervention. The unit also has a removable self-aligning front panel, providing easy access to all internal parts for maintenance purposes. The WaterSense Purge Control System, a patented technology, prevents scale buildup and maintains ice quality. Additionally, key components of the unit are coated with an antimicrobial coating to prevent bacterial buildup, allowing for longer periods between manual cleaning sessions. The ice machine also includes an industry-exclusive QR code, which provides immediate access to the owner's manual, parts list, and unit-specific warranty information. The power requirement for producing 100 lbs of ice is 4.48 kWh, and the potable water requirement is 21 gallons. The ice produced by this machine is in the form of small cubes measuring ?" x ?" x ?". The unit dimensions are 22" x 24" x 23".
