A:AnswerThe ice storage area is not refrigerated. It is intended that ice produced be periodically transferred to zipperlock bags for storage in a conventional freezer.
A:AnswerLit button on the top, towards the back of the machine. Push to toggle selection, and an indicator light will let you know which size you have selected.
A:AnswerMine does. I have noticed that when it gets low, but not enough to trigger the low water indicator, it sees tom run longer to cycle the next batch, but as I am constantly removing cubes from it, I will occasionally pick up the basket to check the water level, and add if it is at, or below the half full level.
A:AnswerThe difference between the two sizes mine has is almost negligible, However if you with between batches, and compare the sizes there is what I refer to as a minor noticeable difference. The only advantage, that I perceive, is the smaller sizes will cycle faster, if you have people waiting for ice.
A:AnswerIf you are storing ice that the machines, sure. Otherwise just pick up the basket and pour more water in to the fill line.
poring new water in, over the existing cubes will tend to melt them, and let them clump together, but since the machine does not have freezer compartment, that problem resolve itself in fairly sort order.
