OPAL Nugget 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. Do not get any soap inside your Opal icemaker.
Rinsing Opal's Internal Components
1. Fill the water reservoir to the upper fill line.
2. Plug in the Opal. Turn the mode switch on the
back to Cleaning.
3. The display ring around the button will begin
to pulse a yellow color. Touch the button and
Opal will begin the automatic rinse cycle.
4. As Opal rinses, a yellow light will spin and you
will see and hear water circulating.
