OPAL Ice Maker Quickstart Guide
IMPORTANT: Read and understand all safety instructions detailed in the
Owner’s Manual before using the Opal.
Cleaning the Ice Bin and Water Reservoir
Remove the ice bin and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse thoroughly. Use
a damp sponge to wipe down the water reservoir under the ice bin. Never use
soap inside your Opal icemaker.
Rinsing Opal’s Internal Components
-
Create a solution of five cups of water and one teaspoon of household bleach and pour the solution into water reservoir, up to the fill line shown in Figure 1.
-
Plug in Opal and then hold the ‘Clean’ button for 3 seconds to initiate the cleaning process. See Figure 2.
-
Water will begin circulating and the ‘Cleaning’ indicator will light up on the left-hand side of the unit to confirm the unit is now in the cleaning process. See Figure 3. After a few minutes, the water will stop and the ‘Cleaning’ indicator light will turn off.
-
When the ‘Cleaning’ indicator light turns off, drain the Opal. Unhook the top of the drain hoses at the back of the unit. See Figure 4.
-
Now drain out the water by un-hooking the tubes from the back of the Opal and placing them in a sink or bucket. Remove the drain plugs and allow all the water to drain out. See Figure 5.
-
Replace the drain plugs and clip them back onto Opal. See figures 6 and 7 for reference.
-
Add five cups of fresh water to the water reservoir, and press the ‘Clean’ button to initiate a second cleaning cycle. To exit the cleaning cycle at any time, press and hold the ‘Clean’ button for 3 seconds.
-
Repeat steps 4 through 8 two more times, adding fresh water to the reservoir each time (You may continue to repeat the rinse cycle, for as many times as you like).
NOTE: It is recommended to clean/sanitize your Opal ice maker per instructions in the Owner’s Manual, starting on page 7.
Making Ice
- Fill the water reservoir to the upper fill line and replace the bin. Touch the Power button and Opal will start the ice-making process. The ‘Making Ice’ indicator on the left will light up as ice starts to be made. You will see ice beginning to drop into the ice bin after about 20 minutes.
- Opal will make about one pound of ice per hour. When the ice bin is full, the ‘Making Ice’ light will no longer be illuminated. If Opal needs more water, the indicator on the left will illuminate ‘Add Water.’
Side Tank Quick Start
NOTE: There are two drain tubes located on the back of your Opal Nugget Ice Maker indicated as drain tubes A and B in the illustration on page 12.
-
Hand Washes Only: Rinse and hand wash Opal Side Tank with warm water and mild dish soap. Remove Opal Side Tank’s cap and wash the cap and rubber valve with water and mild dish soap. The Side Tank base can be washed by disconnecting the hose and adding a small amount of soapy water to it. Scrub as needed and rinse thoroughly. The rinse water should drain out the port in the back. Rinse the cap, rubber valve, tank, and base well to remove any residual soap (see illustration).
DO NOT WASH THE SIDE TANK IN THE DISHWASHER. -
Unplug Opal Nugget, Ice Maker. Unhook Opal’s drain tubes and drain the water from the reservoir.
-
Connect drain tube, labeled B, to the back of Opal Side Tank’s base.
-
Make sure drain tube (A) is connected to the black hanger and installed on the back of Opal.
-
Make sure drain tube (B) connecting to the Side Tank is resting flat on the countertop.
-
Place Opal Side Tank on the right or left-hand side of the Opal Nugget Ice Maker. Using the side tank attachment, slide the shorter side of the attachment under the unit, near the front of the unit. The attachment will slide into a slot on the bottom of the unit. Once this is placed, the side tank can slide onto the opposite attachment. See the figures below and on the next page.
NOTE: Care should be taken to connect the correct tube to the Opal Side
Tank. Tube (B) should always be connected to the Side Tank whether it is
installed on the left or right side of the Opal Nugget Ice Maker. It is
important to make sure the tube is lying flat, otherwise, water may not flow
from the side tank into the ice maker.
Side Tank Accessory
7. Remove Opal Side Tank’s clear reservoir from its base.
8. Unscrew Opal Side Tank’s cap from the reservoir. Fill the clear reservoir
with water.
9. Replace Opal Side Tank’s cap. Ensure the cap is clean when installing.
10. Carefully flip over the Opal Side Tank’s reservoir and place it in the
base. Water should start flowing into the Opal Nugget Ice Maker and bubbles in
the Opal Side Tank will appear periodically during the time water is flowing
to the ice maker.
NOTE: If water does not appear to flow into the ice maker, please check
for the following:
– There may be bubbles in tube (B) connecting the Side Tank to the Opal.
– Tube (B) is not lying flat.
If either of the above issues is present, adjust tube (B) to allow the water
to flow.
11. Fill Opal Nugget Ice Maker’s reservoir (if desired).
12. Plug in Opal Nugget Ice Maker, and begin making ice.
