MODEL GLX INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL Rev. 1.01B Page
2. Getting Started
2.1. Introduction to the GL-X
The GL-X Glasswasher is unique in its field; it has all the features of a standard commercial size
machine packed into an under-counter, standalone glasswasher.
Operation of the GL-X is extremely easy. After initially filling the machine (see section 3.1.3 Filling
the Machine), pressing the rocker Fill/Start switch to the “START” position begins the operation
cycle, which runs automatically.
To reduce service time, all electrical components are mounted in a sliding drawer for easy access.
This “Works-In-A-Drawer” can be removed by disconnecting wires on power block.
The only external connections necessary are the power source, water supply and drainpipe.
The optional sustainer heater with thermostat is extremely practical for maintaining wash tank
temperature between cycles. The 1250-watt heater will hold the wash tank temperature between
130°F and 140°F when machine is not in operation.
The supply water to the GL-X must be a minimum of 140°F. The pipe supplying the water must be
½” minimum. The plumbing connection is located at the back of the machine. The drain is a 1"
NPT fitting located at the back of the machine for easy attachment of your drain hose.
This manual is structured to provide a complete reference guide to the GL-X. It is presented in a
manner that all users will be able to comprehend and use as an effective tool in supporting the
installation, operation and maintenance of the glasswasher. The first section provides the
specifications and details of the operational cycle. The next section explains how the machine is
packaged and what to look for when receiving the machine. After unpacking the machine, this
manual explains how to install and set up the machine for use. Requirements are given for
plumbing, wiring, and space considerations. Our well-trained sales representatives prior to the
order being placed always take these attributes of the machine into consideration. In the manual,
guidance is also given for operation to ensure that the machine will be able to run optimally.
The Operation section of the manual may be used for instruction and procedures when required.
We make this portion of the manual easy to understand so that all levels of operators may be able
to read and comprehend the operation of the machine. The function of the machine itself is mostly
automatic and takes little training to put into full operation. The Operation section also includes
diagnostic considerations for the machine if problems occur.
The Maintenance section of the manual is for qualified personnel and provides trouble shooting
procedures and specific maintenance instructions.The final section of the manual is the Parts
Manual. This section has the parts lists and wiring diagram for the machine.
CMA warranties the workmanship of the machine.
DISCLAIMERS
CMA expressly disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, relating to the installation of any and all CMA equipment that isinstalled by chemical dealers, contracted servicers or third party
servicers to CMA equipment. If the installation instructions are not followed exactly (to the letter), or, if any person or company conducting the installation of the CMA equipment, revise the
installation procedures or alter the instructions in anymanner, the CMA warranty becomes void. If, due to the improper installation of CMA equipment, this equipment ceases to operate properly or
affects other parts of the CMA dishwashing equipment, in that the other parts become defective, the CMA warranty becomesvoid. CMA will not be liable or responsible or warrant CMA equipment,
due to improper installation of any CMAmodel dishwasher.
CMA does NOT endorse “Tankless On-Demand” water heaters for use on CMA Dishmachine products. On most applications, the
volume of hot water required for commercial dishmachines exceeds the capacity of these types of heating sources. You will find
that most, if not all, commercial dishmachines have been programmed with auto-filling features that require quick filling, with a
designated limited time.
CMA DOES endorse, and highly recommends, the standard “tank” style water heaters, sized properly to handle each particular
facility with their water heating requirements. A “tank” style water heater stores and supplies a large capacity of preheated water
before providing hot water to the dishmachine. To meet required health codes, there must be a reliable and consistent flow of
adequate hot water supplied to the dishmachine. If the facilities’ “tank” style water heater is marginal in size, CMA recommends
installing a proper size Hatco Booster Heater, a CMA’s E-Temp 40 or 70-degree-rise Booster Heater (that can be installed on CMA
Conveyors), or a CMA Temp-Sure Booster Heater (for door and undercounter dishmachines). All are designed to adequately
achieve results.
