A:AnswerHey, Lamps! The model you selected can use either tap or bottled water and does not have a filter. The icemaker can hold the ice for up to 8 hours and will need to be completely dry before storing to protect it. ~Courtney
A:AnswerThe unit is designed to trickle water over the metal grid to make ice. If the water is really cold - ice can build up that does not slide off easily when the ice making cycle pauses to allow the ice to fall into the bin. As well if there are any minerals and water deposits on the grid - it isn't quite as slippery and ice can stick and build up. One trick many people use is to spray the grid with Pam which makes the ice slide off.

A:AnswerHello there! We are happy to help! When installing your ice maker, it is recommended that you find a location for your ice maker that is protected from direct sunlight and other sources of heat (i.e.: stove, furnace, radiator). Place the ice maker on a level surface. Make sure that there is at least 6 inches of space between the back and sides of your ice maker and the wall. Also note that the cooler the ambient temp, the more ice cubes the unit will produce. Should your unit work but not produce ice, ensure that the ambient temp is lower than 86℉. I hope this helps. For additional questions or concerns, connect with our manufacturing partner Curtis International. They can be reached at 1 (800) 968-9853. ~Keyanna
