GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTALLATION
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
1.Call your authorized Ice-O-Matic Distributor or Dealer for proper installation.
2.Visually inspect the exterior of the packing and skid. Any severe damage noted should be reported to the delivering carrier and a concealed damage claim form filled in subject to inspection of the contents with the carrier’s representative present.
3.a) Cut and remove the plastic strip securing the carton box to the skid.
b)Cut open the top of the carton and remove the polystyrene protection sheet.
c)Pull out the polystyrene posts from the corners and then remove the carton.
4.Remove the top and sides panels of the unit and inspect for any concealed damage. Notify carrier of your claim for the concealed damage as stated in step 2 above.
5.Remove all internal support packing and masking tape.
6.Check that refrigerant lines do not rub against or touch other lines or surfaces, and that the fan blades move freely.
7.Check that the compressor fits snugly onto all its mounting pads.
8.Use clean damp cloth to wipe the surfaces outside of the cabinet.
9.See data plate on the rear side of the unit and check that local main voltage corresponds with the voltage specified on it.
CAUTION: Incorrect voltage supplied to the ice machine will void your parts replacement program.
10. Remove the manufacturer’s registration card from the inside of the Users Manual and fill-in all parts including Model and Serial Number taken from the data plate. Forward the completed self-addressed registration card to Ice-O-Matic factory.
LOCATION AND LEVELING
WARNING: This Ice Dispenser is designed for indoor installation only. If the machine is operated for extended periods at temperatures exceeding the following limitations it will constitute misuse under the terms of the Ice-O-Matic Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty resulting in LOSS of warranty coverage.
Position the unit in the selected permanent location. Criteria for selection of location include:

Service access: adequate space must be left for all service connections through the rear of the ice machine.
This machine is air-cooled and sucks air through the left side panel and blows air out the rear side of the top panel. Do not install the machine where the left and upper rear side air flows might be blocked.
A minimum clearance of 6 inches is required at the left and upper rear side for air circulation.
It is important that the machine be installed in a location where it has enough space around it to be accessible for service. Avoid hot, dirty and crowded locations.
NOTE: Do NOT place anything on top of the machine. Leave the upper louvers open for proper air exhaust.
The base of the GEMD270A must be sealed to the counter top.
1.Place the unit in its final position.
2.Place a bead of sealant on the counter top to match the outside edge of the cabinet base and sink.
Food grade silastic sealant is recommended.

GEMD270A
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
See data plate for current requirements to determine wire size to be used for electrical connections. All Ice-O-Matic ice machines require a solid earth wire. This Ice-O-Matic ice machine is supplied from the factory completely pre-wired and only needs to be plugged into a nearby 115 volt outlet.
Make sure that the ice machine is connected to its own circuit and individually fused (see data plate for fuse size).
The maximum allowable voltage variation should not exceed -10% and +10% of the data plate rating. Low voltage can cause faulty functioning and may be responsible for serious damage to the overload switch and motor windings.
NOTE: All external wiring should conform to national, state and local standards and regulations.
Check voltage on the line and the ice machine’s data plate before connecting the unit.

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN CONNECTIONS
GENERAL
When choosing the water supply for the ice flaker, consideration should be given to:
a)Length of run
b)Water clarity and purity
c)Adequate water supply pressure
Water is the most important single ingredient in producing ice - these three items are very important.
Low water pressure, below 20 psi may cause malfunction of the ice machine unit.
Water containing excessive minerals will tend to produce scale build-up on the interior parts of the water system while water that’s too soft (water contains too few mineral salts), will produce a very hard flaked ice.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES
CONNECT TO POTABLE WATER ONLY
The model GEMD270A is capable of having water connections through the bottom base or through the rear bottom side of the machine. In this second case it is necessary to remove the small panel at the bottom rear.
WATER SUPPLY
Connect to the ¾" male water inlet fitting, using the supplied fitting, to the cold water supply line. A shut-off valve should be installed in an accessible position between the water supply line and the unit.
If the water contains a high level of impurities, consider installing a water filter or conditioner.
WATER DRAIN
The recommended drain tube is a copper, rigid plastic or reinforced flexible tubing (supplied) with
.75" (19mm) I.D. which runs to an open trapped and vented drain. When the drain is a long run, allow1/4" drop per foot.
Note: Although soft, easily kinked vinyl tubing is not recommended for a drain, a short length of ¾” ID vinyl tubing is required to connect a rigid drain tube to the 20 mm (25/32”) fitting on the back of the GEMD270A.
Install a vertical open vent on the drain line high point at the drain connection to ensure good draining.
The ideal drain receptacle is a trapped and vented floor drain.
NOTE: The water supply and the water drain must be installed to conform with the local code. In some case a licensed plumber and/or a plumbing permit is required.

FINAL CHECK LIST
1.Is the unit in a room where the ambient temperatures are within a minimum of 50°F even in winter months?
2.Is there at least a 6" clearance around the unit for proper air circulation?
3.Is the unit level?
4.Have all the electrical and plumbing connections been made, and is the water supply shut-off valve open?
5.Has the voltage been tested and checked against the data plate rating?
6.Has the water supply pressure been checked to ensure a flowing water pressure of at least 20 psi.
7.Check all refrigerant lines and conduit lines to guard against vibrations and possible failure.
8.Has the unit been sealed to the counter top?
9.Has the owner/user been given the Users Manual and been instructed on the importance of periodic maintenance checks?
10.Has the Manufacturer’s registration card been filled in properly? Check the model and serial number against the serial plate and mail the registration card to Ice-O-Matic.
11.Has the owner been given the name and the phone number of the authorized Ice-O-Matic Service Agency serving them?
