Is it ADA compliant?
No. Scotsman's ADA sheet says the HID312, HID525 and HID540 push-button models are not ADA compliant on the HST16 or HST21 stands or on a 34" ADA compliant countertop. Choose a touch-free model if you need ADA reach compliance.
What water hookups does it need?
A potable water line to the 3/8" flare inlet and a drain at the 3/4" FPT connection, with water pressure of 20 to 80 PSIG. The water-cooled condenser also needs its own 3/8" FPT water inlet and 1/2" FPT drain; it uses 120 gallons of condenser water per 100 lb. of ice.
What warranty does it have?
Scotsman lists 3 years parts and labor, plus 5 years parts on the compressor and condenser, for commercial installations in North, South and Central America.
