■ Only remove drain tubes while near a sink or bucket, as
removingdraintubesfromOpalorOpalSideTankwill
drain any water in either unit.
Proper Installation and Location
Thesidetankshouldbeinstalledflushtothefrontof
theOpalNuggetIcemakersothatitdoesnotblockthe

Mixtwoquartsofwaterwithtwoquartsofvinegar,OR
use the Opal Cleaning Kit.
Clean any visible mineral buildup or deposits with this
solution.Ifdepositsarepresentinthetank,llthetank
withthissolutionandletsoak.Besuretodrainandrinse
thetankthoroughlyaftercleaning.Stubborndeposits
mayrequiremorethanonetreatment.
Side Tank Troubleshooting
IfwaterdoesnotflowfromtheSideTanktotheOpalIce
Maker:
There may be bubbles in the tube connecting the side
tanktotheopaloritisnotlyingflat.Tryadjustingthetube
toallowthewatertoflow.Oncewaterstartsflowingit
typically will not need further adjusting.
