Side Tank Accessory
Side Tank Quick Start
NOTE: There are two drain tubes located on the back of your Opal Nugget Ice Maker indicated as drain tube A and B in
the illustration on page 12.
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, labeled B, to the back of Opal Side
Tank's base.
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
resting flat on the countertop.
6. Place Opal Side Tank on the right or left-hand side of the the Opal Nugget Ice Maker. Using the side tank attachment,
slide the shorter side of the attachment under the unit, near the front of the unit. The attachment will slide into a slot on
the bottom of the unit. Once this is placed, the side tank can slide onto the opposite attachment. See figures below and
on next page.
NOTE: Care should be taken to connect the correct tube to the Opal Side Tank. Tube (B) should always be
connected to the Side Tank whether it is installed on the left or right side of the Opal Nugget Ice Maker. It is
important to make sure the tube is lying flat, otherwise water may not flow from the side tank into the ice maker.
