Key Features

1. Gourmet Supercube Ice Production:
   • Produces crystal-clear, thimble-shaped supercubes, ideal for coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, and hotels due to their clarity, slow-melting properties, and reduced tendency to stick together in buckets. Suitable for high-end beverage presentation and self-service applications.
   • Push-button dispensing system allows cubes to drop directly into a glass, container, or ice bucket without manual handling, enhancing hygiene and ease of use.
2. Design and Build:
   • Resistant Stainless Steel Exterior: Grade 304 stainless steel construction ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and compliance with hygienic standards.
   • Slim Vertical Design: Compact footprint (380 mm width) is ideal for space-limited areas, such as hotel serveries, elevator lobbies, or hospital corridors.
   • Insulated Storage Bin: 11 kg capacity with a hygienic, food-safe lining to maintain ice quality and prevent contamination.
3. Maintenance and Hygiene:
   • XSafe Sanitation System: Integrated 24/7 UV-based sanitation, standard since September 2020, destroys 99% of bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19, preventing mold, mildew, slime, and odors.
   • AgION Technology: Antimicrobial protection embedded in molded plastic components resists microbe growth and odor development.
   • Front-Access Condenser Air Filter: Removable and washable, recommended for monthly cleaning to maintain performance and extend machine life.
   • Patented Anti-Scale System: Protects the water system from limescale buildup, reducing maintenance needs and ensuring consistent ice quality.
   • One-Touch Cleaning: Initiated via simple electromechanical controls, using Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner, followed by automatic rinsing, reducing labor costs.
   • Regular Bin Sanitization: The bin interior, in contact with food-grade ice, should be cleaned and sanitized weekly with a commercial food-grade sanitizer.
4. Ease of Use:
   • Push-Button Dispensing: Simple, hygienic operation requires no special training, making it ideal for self-service environments like hospitals, care homes, or fast-food restaurants.
   • Electromechanical Controls: Reliable and user-friendly, with external indicator lights for operation status (e.g., power, bin full, cleaning alerts).
   • Water In/Ice Out Concept: Matches water consumption to ice production, minimizing energy and water wastage.
5. Optional Easy-Fit Drain Pump:
   • Available to pump excess water up to 15 meters away, enhancing installation flexibility for sites without floor-level drainage.

Applications

• Ideal for hotels, hospitals, care homes, fast-food restaurants, and self-service applications where hygienic, touch-free ice dispensing is critical.
• Gourmet supercubes enhance beverage presentation in coffee shops, cafes, pubs, and clubs, offering clarity and slow-melting properties for premium drinks.
• Suitable for environments requiring compact, high-output ice dispensers, such as serveries, lobbies, or break rooms.

Operational Considerations

• Environmental Conditions: Operates effectively in ambient temperatures from 10°C to 43°C and water temperatures from 5°C to 38°C.
• Installation Requirements: Requires a permanent water supply (3/4” inlet), gravity drainage (20 mm sump drain at floor level), and connection to a neutral wire and solid earth ground to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage. Optional Easy-Fit drain pump available. Must be installed by a qualified technician. Not suitable for stacking.
• Recommended Water Filter: HF20-S or AP3S water filter recommended to remove particulates, chlorine taste, odor, cysts, and scale, maintaining ice quality and machine performance. Failure to use a filter may affect warranty.
• EcoX Initiative: Newer models use R-290 refrigerant, replacing R-134a, for environmental compliance with lower GWP.
• Availability: The DG35 may be a variant or misnomer for the DXG35, as most sources refer to the DXG35 with identical specifications (29–37 kg/24 hours, 11 kg storage). Verify model designation with suppliers, as the DG35 is less commonly referenced.
