Questionwant to put in well house temp is 115 to 120 in middle of summer will this hurt anything
Asked 6 years ago by ally.
- Answer Although the ice maker is insulated, it does not keep the ice it makes frozen. Keeping the unit in a space with high heat conditions will cause the ice to melt at a fast pace.

QuestionCan I place this unit in a cabinet if it has a few inches around and above it? It has a door ... it’s a traditional under kitchen cabinet.
Asked 6 years ago by Ice.
- Answer I would not put it in an enclosed cabinet. The compressor gives off some heat that would not be conducive to being enclosed.

QuestionDoes this machine need a drain
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes it needs a drain. Since I did not have a drain near where I wanted, I bought a Little Giant pump that automatically pumps water when it is filled. I then pump the water up and into a vent pipe. If you are in a cold climate area like we are, just put the drain hose under the insulation to assure it does not freeze up. The Little Giant pump can be found on Amazon for under $50. This ice maker is incredible fast at delivering ice. I have found it well worth the investment.

Questiondoes the storage bin keep the ice frozen?
Asked 9 years ago by jdoeball.
- Answer Yes. But the machine is louder making new ice than was expected. We put it in an office kitchen and it took a while to get used to it.

QuestionIs the ice clear of cloudy?Is the ice clear or cloudy?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Clear ice is determined by the type of water used and the freezing process. It is recommended to use distilled water for clearer ice. Due to how quickly portable ice makers freeze, the ice may be cloudy based on how much air is trapped in the cube during the freezing process.

QuestionAm looking for a small ice maker with a water filter.Can be a built in model. It will be outside on a porch. Any ideas?
Asked 10 years ago by Donna.
- Answer The FIM-450HS is a freestanding appliance; all ventilation is located at the back and rear sides. Please note that without proper clearance and circulated airflow around the vents, the unit may not operate properly. Built in application is not recommended. Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 50°F and below 90°F.

QuestionSo if it doesn’t keep the ice frozen, does that mean you have to keep emptying it or turn it off? What happens to the water when the ice melts?
Asked 5 years ago by Dcw96161.
- Answer Hello,
  
  This unit operates in a gravity drain system which clears excess water from the ice maker to ensure a continuous supply of ice. A water drain hose is provided with this unit, where you firmly attach the drain hose to the drain outlet.
