Thank you so much..i was a bit concerned about water was coming out while in the process of making ice..which now i know its normal

Me too! :)

Got this Opal 2.0 unit for Christmas. Seems like a solid machine I got mine at Costco. Came with a 3 year warranty 👍

I just got the new ultra and I didn’t see anywhere in the directions that the reservoir needs to be emptied to use side tank

Thank you man!

What is the white cylinder tank for ?

would it over flow wit the side container?

2-3 hours.

Mine has never transfered from the side tank

[@williahgwilliahg4086]

check the water tube leading to the side tank. The tube has to be perfectly flat on the counter

[@SpaceAce2022]

Review it after 1 year. Totally stinks after that.

[@Brotatochip583]

This honestly sounds like too much work 😢

[@FUCKY0UHATERS]

Low attention span 😂

[@bowesman1000]

My daughter suggested this to me. first of all it is way too much work and maintenance. i don't even clean my cpap machine that often. second our water has tons of chlorine in it right out of the tap. and if it didn't just use distilled water. third i will just continue to bang the hell out of our 17 year old maytag ice maker to get the auger to stay in where it belongs to twist out the cubes. no sale for me on this one.

[@Username2521hh]

Sounds like you need a water system installed in your house more than an ice maker. Will protect your piping and other appliances from mineral buildup and erosion.

[@chrishingson3064]

I just used distilled water in mine I use it in my CPAP as well and I use it in my Keurig

[@ChristianC-gy1ym]

​@@panchorelly THAT IS NOT the question. You should THINK first before answering. They're asking if you can fill it more than 5 cups (up to the line) or if you HAVE to only use 5 cups because is there a reason why the guy kept saying 5 cups even though it doesn't reach the line.

If you have the side tank, does that become the primary method of adding new water? Would you then stop filling water inside the main tank?

[@MrAlbertBriones]

Yes.

[@williahgwilliahg4086]

You can do both. It is up to you. I do both

Thank you...Mann nothing explains better than this even tho the booklet was a bit more lot to read which it was confusing at some point.

how do you fix the squealing noise that starts after 12 months?

By getting a warranty

Can you plug that reservoir hose directly into an ice maker water line instead of the tank?

[@alfredferry1131]

Excellent instructions, but 2 queries: should front tray be installed first ? You did not. AND does main inside reservoir need to be empty before adding water from the auxiliary reservoir? Thanks again.

[@kerrybartow-konnoly984]

My kids bought me this for Christmas, I love it! I have a 5 gallon water dispenser that I fill the ice maker up with! Makes tons of ice but does use a LOT of water!

What’s the best water to use in this? Bottled water?

[@jig1056]

Excellent video extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@TamieMcDaniel]

Thank you for an easy and great instructional video, helped me get all set up and running!

[@CasualPooper]

They have an extended hose on Amazon, so you don't have to move the ice maker. Recommend cleaning once a week

[@FatherPadrino]

Each time I open the ice drawer and take ice cubes it starts making ice again. It’s annoying

[@KimHolt-qx6ne]

Our new machine is still running water into the ice bucket so the water is slushy😊

Could you send me a picture of the inside tu e placement? I had to clean out and descale all the tubes and I forgot to take pic!🤦‍♀️

[@brettbradley7154]

What about the water filter, where does that go?

[@dhansel4835]

Good informative video. This is a lot of work for a little ice. Over the years when there is calcium buildup and other things that happen you will end putting this ice maker in a closet and go on to other things in your life.

Can you clarify the use of the side water tank - does this replace the main water reservoir or do you fill both and then use both? Thanks great video - way better than the book

[@blasianlove1368]

You can leave it on or you can set up timer in app to start making ice at certain times. Keep in mind if it’s off ice will start to melt and won’t replace itself since machine would be off

Can I use bottled water instead of tap?

[@josephromano6168]

You're way better off just using filtered (brita) water. Less chemicals and minerals. Plus using a ton of bottled water is stupid expensive.

[@cosmicluna7239]

Does it have to be cleaned with bleach? Also what’s the mold situation after having it for some months?

[@POKERBEAST25]

Just use distilled water

[@madisonmiller7186]

Use vinegar to clean all or any sodium that builds it’s better than bleach and anti bacterial

[@kitten113004]

Can u use something other than Bleach to clean?

[@crazy-_-Beard]

I thought vinegar would be a safer cleaning method putting bleach in an ice maker seems wrong

[@gloryshouse5198]

you need to use both vinegar and bleach. Bleach takes care of any mold. Vinegar will get the scale out. Only use distilled water. Filtered water may be ok. I double filter water with the zero water filter. Do not mix bleach and vinegar. let the vinegar set overnight full strength to descale. Do this every couple months. I would clean with bleach every other week no more than a month. Read instructions on that. but cleaning and descaling this machine is the life of it. especially descale. that why you don’t want to use tap water. I have had two of these. The first one lasted over two years. I am cleaning this one more because I did not do the descaling I thought cleaning with bleach would keep it clean but bleach can’t remove hard water scale. So do the vinegar regularly. These things are not cheap so I am doing my best to take care of mine. The company sells a product for cleaning but when I called them they told me to use bleach and vinegar so don’t waste money on that stuff probably. What I told you is what they told me. I just can’t remember how often they said but I knew I wasn’t going to let mine go long without doing both.

[@seanreed498]

You mention the water dripping into the tray is normal. I'm relieved that mine isn't broken, but it seems like a design flaw to me. My solution has been to remove the tray and let the water cycle right back into the reservoir. Once the water stops, I replace the tray and let the ice collect.

[@adamstern7839]

Agreed - every time the unit powers on to make ice, water pours into the ice bin (and down behind the bin) for 3-5 min melting ice already in the bin...called GE and said normal - def seems like a design flaw...

[@seanreed498]

I noticed the valve in the bottom of the tray allows water to drain back into the reservoir, so I don’t need to remove the tray. It’s still odd that water flows over the top.
