Reliable ice machines are very important for restaurant owners.  If they get one that doesnt operate too well, their customers will be very disappointed since their drinks wont stay cold.  However, there is one ice machine that can help restaurant owners avoid such a scenario.  Its called the Scotsman Ice Machine and it comes with several advantages including: a wide variety of selection, design aspects that make the device more environmentally-friendly and an easy-to-use button layout.

One of the best aspects associated with Scotsman Ice Machines is the large variety they have among their product line.  For instance, if a restaurant owner wanted perfectly cubed ice, they can get a commercialized ice cuber.  If they want flaked ice for slushies and other more decorative drinks, they can get a flaked ice machine.  Finally, theres the option of getting a nugget ice machine if one is dealing with paper-cup drinks, (like those one might see at a fast-food restaurant).

The next advantage associated with Scotsman Ice Machines involves how energy-efficient they are.  Utilizing Energy Star technology, these machines use design and the consumers choice to help conserve energy.  What does this mean?  Well, due to its design, the system already produces ice with less water and as far as personal choice; a restaurant owner has access to special controls that allow them to get ice only when they need it.  This means restaurant owners dont have to worry about the Commercial Ice Machines running all day to get their ice.  With Scotsman systems, you just press a few buttons and let the device run its course.

Speaking of buttons, Scotsman Ice Machines possess a layout that is really easy-to-use even for those who are a novice at ice machines. This is thanks to the innovative Prodigy technology used behind the buttons, (what the consumer cant see). Anyway, all Scotsman machines have an auto-alert indicator panel. This is where you will have two buttons and four lighting indicators.

The first button operates what status you want the machine to be in. This is where the lighting indicators come in with the first one indicating whether or not the system is on. The second indicator light shows whether or not the system is producing ice like its supposed to. The third light indicates whether there is water problems while the fourth light shows whether or not the system needs to be cleaned. This light normally stays off until a sanitation problem arises; it will turn yellow when this occurs.  This is when you touch the second greenish button to turn off the unit and clean it.

How does a person clean a Scotsman Ice Machine?  Depending on which one they get, they will have to get a Phillips screwdriver to take apart the main panel.  From there they remove the inner panels, (which isnt very hard).  After that the machine is ready to be cleaned or investigated to ensure everything within the device is working properly.

In conclusion, Scotsman Ice Machines offer an excellent choice for restaurant operators because of their selection, their green nature and their ease-of-use.  Most importantly, they produce ice that is firm and long-lasting, making both restaurant owners and their customers much happier.
