rinse.

Care and cleaning

To keep your nugget ice tasting fresh and your Opal looking great, we recommend 

cleaning your opal 

at least once per week

To clean the 

exterior

 of the ice maker, unplug the product, then use a so  cloth dampened 

with soapy water to gently clean the exterior surfaces. Dry with a so  cloth. 

The exterior stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with commercially available stainless 

steel cleaner. Use only a liquid cleaner free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines 

with a damp, so  sponge. 

Do not use appliance wax, polish, solvents, or chemicals  on the 

stainless steel. Do not use soap to clean the reservoir. Use a so  cloth moistened with 

water.

Some types of under-cabinet lamps can be hot enough 

to cause damage to your Opal top’s appearance.
