GEMU090 Series

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The manual provides guidance on the installation, operation, and maintenance of the GEMU090 residential ice machine, which produces Ice-O-Matic's Pearl Ice for home use.
Warranty Information
Mile High Equipment LLC offers a limited warranty for defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage varies: cube ice machines and remote condensers are covered for 36 months, while ice storage bins and flake ice machines are covered for 24 months. Specific components like evaporator plates and compressors have additional warranties. Unauthorized parts or alterations void the warranty.
Product Description
The GEMU090 is suitable for indoor or controlled outdoor use, featuring an ice-making and storage system. It operates continuously, producing ice when levels are low and stopping when full.
Installation Information
The machine measures 14 7/8 inches wide and 33 3/8 to 34 3/8 inches high. It requires a potable water supply with specific conductivity and pressure, operates best within certain temperature ranges, and needs a dedicated electrical circuit.
Location Recommendations
The machine can be built into a cabinet with proper ventilation. It comes in gravity drain and pump models, each with specific installation requirements. Avoid exposure to freezing temperatures or direct sunlight.
Utility and Operational Requirements
Connection to a potable water supply with at least 10 microSiemens/cm conductivity is necessary. Optimal performance occurs at water temperatures between 50-60°F and air temperatures between 60-80°F.
Water Quality
Potable water is required, and water quality affects maintenance frequency. Water filters can reduce mineral buildup, but additional treatment may be needed.
Electrical Power
The unit requires a 115 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit and should not use extension cords.
Filing a Claim
Warranty claims must be submitted within 60 days of service, including model and serial numbers and proof of installation if needed. Defective parts may need to be returned for validation.
Governing Law
The warranty is governed by Delaware, USA laws, excluding conflicts of law principles.
Installation and Use Overview
Door Swing Adjustment
The door can be adjusted to open from either side by removing and reattaching hinges and screws.
Plumbing - Pump Model
For models with an internal drain pump, route the drain tube to the connection point, which can be up to 10 feet above the machine. An air gap may be required by local codes.
Plumbing - Gravity Drain Model
Ensure the gravity drain tubing is vented, kink-free, and slopes to the building drain. Follow specific steps for connecting the drain tube.
Water Supply
Use ¼ inch OD copper tubing or alternatives like stainless steel flex. Install an accessible shut-off valve and connect using a compression fitting.
Electrical and Start-Up
Connect to a 115 volt, 15 amp circuit. Position the unit, connect the water supply, and test the drain pump. Ensure the unit is leveled and all packing materials are removed.
Initial Start-Up
Turn on the water supply, switch on electrical power, and start the machine using the On/Off switch. Ice production begins within 10 minutes, taking about 6-7 hours to fill the storage bin.
Ice Level Control
An ultrasonic sensor automatically manages ice production based on the storage area's ice level.
Usage Instructions
Take the required amount of ice; the machine will replenish it. Avoid storing non-ice items in the bin to prevent contamination and blockages.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent mineral scale build-up. Suggested maintenance includes scale removal, water seal checks, and condenser cleaning every 6 months.
Winterizing
Follow specific steps to clean and prepare the machine for winter, including draining water and adding RV antifreeze to the drain.
Scale Removal Process
Use a diluted scale remover solution to clean the ice-making system. Follow detailed steps to add the solution, operate the machine, and rinse the system.
Other Maintenance
Check for water leaks and inspect the top bearing for wear. Regularly clean the ice scoop and sanitize the ice chute and bin interior.
