Always plug the ice maker into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord, as it may overheat and pose a fire risk; Avoid operating the ice maker in damp or wet conditions. Keep the ice maker away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Never immerse the ice maker in water or allow water to enter the electrical components. Do not use the ice maker for purposes other than its intended use. Always supervise children when they are near the ice maker.
Regularly inspect the power cord for any damage or wear. If the power cord is damaged, discontinue use and contact GE customer service for replacement. Do not attempt to repair or modify the ice maker yourself, as this may void the warranty and compromise safety. Always unplug the ice maker before cleaning or performing any maintenance. Ensure the ice maker is placed on a stable and level surface to prevent tipping or accidents. When filling the water reservoir, use clean and potable water only. Never use hot or boiling water, as it may damage the ice maker.
Installation and Setup
Installing your GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ice Maker is straightforward. Begin by choosing a location that is level, stable, and away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure sufficient ventilation around the unit. Connect the ice maker to a dedicated grounded electrical outlet, ensuring the power cord is not damaged or frayed.
Next, attach the water line to the ice maker. The water line should be connected to a cold water source and ideally have a shut-off valve for easy access. Refer to the instruction manual for specific details on connecting the water line. Once the water line is connected, turn on the water supply and ensure the ice maker is receiving water.
Finally, fill the water reservoir with clean, potable water. The reservoir is usually located beneath the ice bin. After filling the reservoir, plug in the ice maker and allow it to cool down for several hours before operating.
Making Ice
Your GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ice Maker is designed to produce delicious nugget ice with minimal effort. To begin making ice, ensure the unit is plugged in and the water supply is turned on. Locate the power button on the control panel and press it to turn the ice maker on. The unit will begin its ice-making cycle, which typically takes several hours to produce a full bin of ice.
During the ice-making process, you may notice a slight humming sound as the ice maker operates. The unit will automatically shut off once the ice bin is full. To access the ice, simply open the lid of the ice maker and scoop out the desired amount of ice.
The Opal 2.0 features a convenient “Ice-On-Demand” setting, which allows you to make ice only when needed. This feature is particularly helpful for conserving energy and preventing the ice from melting before it is used.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for keeping your GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ice Maker in optimal condition and ensuring the production of fresh, clean ice. To maintain optimal performance, it is recommended to clean the ice maker at least once a month.
Start by unplugging the ice maker from the power source. Empty the ice bin and discard any remaining ice. Wash the ice bin with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Use a damp sponge to wipe down the interior surfaces of the ice maker, including the water reservoir and ice chute. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as these can damage the ice maker’s components.
The water filter should be replaced every six months to ensure clean and pure ice production. Refer to the instruction manual for specific instructions on replacing the water filter. Additionally, it is essential to clean the condenser coils on the back of the ice maker regularly. Dust and debris can accumulate on the condenser coils, hindering the unit’s performance. Vacuum or brush the condenser coils to remove any dust or debris.
Troubleshooting
While the GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ice Maker is designed for reliable performance, occasional issues may arise. This section outlines common troubleshooting steps to resolve any problems you might encounter.
If your ice maker is not producing ice, start by checking the water supply. Ensure that the ice maker is properly connected to a water source and that the water supply valve is fully open. Additionally, check for any kinks or blockages in the water line.
Another common issue is the ice maker not dispensing ice. Ensure the ice bin is not full. If it is, simply remove some ice to allow for more production. If the ice maker is still not dispensing ice, check the ice chute for any blockages and clear them.
If the ice maker is making noise, it may be due to a build-up of dust or debris on the condenser coils. Clean the condenser coils with a vacuum or brush to resolve the issue.
