Water-cooled cube ice makers are commonly chosen for use in hot climates because they are more effective than air-cooled machines when the air temperature is high. They are also a good option in areas where water is cheaper than electricity, as water-cooled machines use less power but require more water. The Scotsman C0530SW-1 Prodigy Plus Ice Maker can produce 500 lbs of ice in 24 hours at an air temperature of 70°F and water temperature of 50°F, or 410 lbs at an air temperature of 90°F and water temperature of 70°F. This unit operates on 115v/60/1-ph power and draws 13.5 amps. The ice cubes produced by this commercial ice machine are small in size, making them versatile for various uses. Scotsman has incorporated several features into the Prodigy Plus ice machine line based on feedback from users. These features include AutoAlert Indicator Lights, One-Touch Cleaning, a Removable Self-Aligning Front Panel, WaterSense Purge Control System, Antimicrobial Coating, and an industry-exclusive QR code for easy access to information about the ice maker. The external dimensions of the unit are 24" D x 23" H x 30" W. The condenser cooling water required per 100 lbs of ice is 160 gallons, while the potable water required is 18 gallons. The power consumption per 100 lbs of ice is 5.0 kWh. The Scotsman C0530SW-1 Prodigy Plus Ice Maker is certified by Conformité Européenne, National Sanitation Foundation, and Underwriters Laboratories.
