New Brilliance by Scotsman Residential Ice Machines Deliver the Perfect Home Beverage Experience

June, 2008 -- Scotsman Ice Systems, an Enodis company, brings the perfect ice experience home with the new Brilliance Residential Ice Machine. Ice purists everywhere can now enjoy exceptional iced drinks made with Scotsman's gourmet ice, the crystal-clear cubes that have enhanced the beverage experience for forty years. Brilliance features a sleek, durable design that coordinates well with other appliances and when installed with a custom wood front that matches the surrounding cabinetry it virtually disappears. It's ideal for updating existing kitchens, bars and home entertainment areas, as well as for new construction. Easy to clean and reliable, Brilliance will delight homeowners who value the perfect beverage experience-all from Scotsman, a world leader in consumer-preferred ice.

Scotsman Ice Systems

Brilliance by Scotsman is one of the most energy-efficient machines on the market. Not only does Brilliance produce approximately 50 pounds of ice per day, innovative technology enables the cuber to use less than half the energy and one-third the water of Scotsman's previous residential ice machine. This is particularly relevant given today's heightened concerns for energy conservation and environmental responsibility.

The new Brilliance is one of the smartest, most convenient ice machines available for the home. An electronic control panel clearly communicates the machine's ice production status and maintenance needs. LED indicators let the user know the machine is on and can alert the user to a no-water condition, and when it is time to clean.

In addition to its self-monitoring and energy-efficient qualities, Brilliance also features a water-quality sensor. This feature automatically adapts to varying water conditions by constantly measuring the water quality and automatically adjusts the purge water amount to minimize scale buildup in every type of water. The result is a longer time between cleanings.

Brilliance ice machines produce crystal-clear, taste-free and odorless cubes to enhance the beverage experience. The Scotsman ice cubes will not change the flavor of the drinks, whereas ice from a refrigerator can due to minerals in the water and absorbed odors. Scotsman is quite simply the best ice-and the line's companion undercounter refrigerator and wine chiller extend the homeowner's beverage possibilities.

The new Brilliance residential ice machine is just the latest example of Scotsman's ongoing commitment to manufacturing excellence. As one of the world's largest manufacturer of commercial ice systems, with more than 300 models of ice machines, storage bins and ice and water dispensers, Scotsman is dedicated to developing today's most promising smart technologies. In the past five years, the company has been recognized by a variety of third parties for excellence in achieving these goals. Twice in the last four years, Scotsman has been recognized as one of the Top 25 Best Plants in the U.S. by IndustryWeek magazine-most recently, in September 2006, Scotsman was named one of the Top Ten Best Plants by the magazine. Scotsman was also recognized by the College of Business at Utah State University as a 2006 finalist for the prestigious Shingo Prize.
