Opal Ice Maker - Black Residue

If black residue is seen inside the Opal Ice Maker (including hoses and tanks), it can be caused by mineral build-up in the machine. Even with filtered water, minerals come through that will build up over time. We recommend the following to help maintain your Opal Ice Maker and remove mineral residue.

Preventing Black Residue In an Opal Ice Maker

• Increase the frequency of the cleaning cycles performed.
• Run the cleaning cycle weekly with a bleach solution.
• Run a cleaning cycle monthly with vinegar to remove mineral deposits and to limit build-ups over time.
