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.

■ M ake sure that Opal Nugget Ice Maker is unplugged
when draining reservoir and installing Opal S ide Tank.
■ E nsure that Opal Side Tank is installed on a level
surface that will be stable even when Opal Side Tank is
full.
■ M ake sure the cap of the Side Tank remains clean
during filling and operation. Hands should be washed
and clean prior to opening and closing the cap.
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
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.
To Remove Mineral Deposits:
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, fill 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.
