Opal Ice Maker - Installation and Getting Started

When you first unpack your Opal, making sure you install it correctly and finding the proper location will help keep your ice maker working well for you.

 

Installation Considerations:

  • The unit must be installed indoors. Do not install your ice maker outside.

  • Ensure a minimum of three inches (3") clearance around the side and back walls of the ice maker for proper air circulation.

    • The unit is designed to be stored under standard-height kitchen cabinets. If planning to install the Opal on a kitchen countertop, we suggest measuring the distance from the countertop to the bottom of the cabinet to determine fit.

    • It can be installed in a cabinet as long as adequate clearance (3" at the rear and the sides) is allowed for airflow around the sides and back of the unit. If the Opal is installed in an enclosed cabinet, the rate of ice making will be reduced due to higher temperatures within the cabinet.

  • The Opal must be installed upright on a flat, level surface that is able to support the total weight when full of water.

  • Do not place the product near heat sources such as ovens or cooktops.

  • Do not place the product in direct sunlight.

  • Due to potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly advise against the use of an extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it is a UL-listed, 3-wire ground type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15A (minimum) and 120 Volts.

 

Preparing for First Use:

  1. Carefully remove any packing material. Do not use sharp tools that can damage the box contents.

  2. Ensure all components are present; these include the ice scoop, drip tray, and side tank clip. If any item is missing, contact 1-866-907-6718 or visit myopalservice.com.

  3. Place the ice maker upright on a flat, level surface and plug it in. 

  4. Install the drip tray by sliding it under the front edge of the Opal. The tray slots should align with the front feet of the Opal.

  5. Sanitize and rinse the ice maker with clean water for five minutes before first use. For instructions, consult your Owner's Manual. Download a copy of your Owner's Manual.
