GEMU090 Installation and Use Maintenance Ice-O-Matic strongly recommends regular maintenance of this ice machine. During normal operation mineral scale that is in the water supply will gradually build up on the ice making surfaces. That build up can cause excessive loading of the ice making system, which can cause premature failure. Regular removal of the mineral scale will lengthen the product’s life. 4. Return the kickplate and front service panel to their original positions.
GEMU090 Installation and Use How to remove scale from the ice making system. Cleaning this machine involves adding a solution of scale remover and water to the ice machine and continuing to add it as it makes ice. The scale remover must be diluted to the correct ratio. A squirt bottle will make adding the scale remover much easier when the unit is built in. If not built in, remove the top panel for reservoir access.
