QUICK START GUIDE
QUICK START GUIDE
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.
2. Unplug Opal Nugget Ice Maker. Unhook Opal’s drain tubes and drain the water from the reservoir.
3. Connect drain tube (B) (closest to Opal’s “Cleaning / Ice” switch) to the back of Opal Side Tank’s
base (see page 3).
4. Make sure drain tube (A) is connected to the black hanger and installed on the back of Opal.
5. Make sure drain tube (B) connecting to the Side Tank is laying flat.
6. Place Opal Side Tank against the Opal Nugget Ice Maker so that the Side Tank magnets attach to
the ice maker. Your Opal Side Tank can be installed on either side of your Opal Nugget Ice Maker.
Note: Care should be taken to connect the correct drain tube to the Opal Side Tank. Drain tube
(B) should always be connected to the Side Tank whether it is installed on the le or right side of
the Opal Nugget Ice Maker. (SEE ILLUSTRATIONS ON PAGE 3).

block the airflow vents on the Opal Nugget Ice maker. Opal Side Tank needs to sit on the same level
surface as your Opal Nugget Ice Maker. Do not elevate Opal Side Tank, or your Opal may overflow.
Mix two quarts of water with two quarts of vinegar, OR use the Opal Cleaning Kit, available at
FirstBuild.com.
Clean any visible mineral buildup or deposits with this solution. If deposits are present in the tank, fill
the tank with this solution and let soak. Be sure to drain and rinse the tank thoroughly aer cleaning.
