OPAL Ice Maker Quickstart Guide
IMPORTANT:
Read and understand all safety instructions detailed in 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
1. Create a solution of five cups of water and one
teaspoon household bleach and pour solution
into water reservoir, up to the fill line shown in
Figure 1.
2. Plug in Opal and then hold the 'Clean' button
for 3 seconds to initiate the cleaning process.
See Figure 2.
3. 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 cleaning
process. See Figure 3. After a few minutes the
water will stop and the 'Cleaning' indicator light
will turn off.
4. 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.
