The National Restaurant Association has awarded Scotsman with a 2007 Kitchen Innovations Awards for the Prodigy Cube Ice Machine. The Prodigy has been lauded as one of the smartest, most foolproof ice machines on the market today thanks to its state-of-the-art self-monitoring system. It will be featured in live demonstrations in the Kitchen Innovations Pavilion during the National Restaurant Show in May 2007. This is the first Kitchen Innovations award for Scotsman. The competition is judged by an independent panel of industry experts and recognizes trend-setting kitchen equipment thought to be among the most innovative in the world.

The features that make the Prodigy a winner for any commercial need are Prodigy�s AutoAlert lights that continually communicate the machine�s current status, energy efficiency that exceed even California�s energy requirements, the patented WaterSense adaptive purge control that adapts to varying water conditions, and advanced diagnostic code display to help technicians can determine operating issues quickly.
