cycle. To exit the cleaning cycle at any time, press and hold the ‘Clean’ button for 3 seconds.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 8 two more times, adding fresh water to the reservoir each time (You may continue to

on page 7.
Making Ice
1. 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.
2. 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.’

1. Hand Wash Only: Rinse and hand wash Opal Side Tank with warm water and a mild dish soap. Remove Opal
Side Tank’s cap and wash the cap and rubber valve with water and a 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 the base well to remove any residual soap (see illustration).
DO NOT WASH THE SIDE TANK IN THE DISHWASHER.
