A:AnswerNo, that would be nice though! This ice maker produces 2 different sizes, small and large, both are the same shape. The shape is like a hollow cylinder (with a rounded top), I’m unsure what the shape is called. Hope this helps!
A:AnswerI’m unsure about the warnings on the chemical part but follow the instruction manual, “flush” the system after unboxing the machine, and before consuming the ice. I use distilled water when making ice and I haven’t had any problems (so far haha), clean water is essential to good ice!
A:AnswerI haven’t cleaned just follow directions in emptying the water regularly especially not in use. I use bottled water or filtered water not tap water.
A:AnswerI use hot water and soap and fill the machine completely up. You need to clean at least once a week and use a paper towel to dry and leave too open to let dry for like 24 hours. Just my suggestion.
A:AnswerThis unit does not have a self-cleaning function. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth, then rinse with clear water.

A:AnswerThere's a hidden self clean mode. Press and hold the power button until the ice cube size lights start blinking between large and small. If it doesn't do this after 30 seconds of holding the power button, turn the unit on then off and then press and hold it again.
I don't think it's possible to remove all of the mold from any countertop ice maker on the market currently, there's no way to actually brush away the mold/mildew that builds up where it forms ice.
There are disassembly videos on youtube for cleaning, they seem complicated though. These appear to be throw away consumer products.
Also, if you're going to clean it with vinegar, don't leave it in there overnight, it'll start to eat at the metal fingers that form the ice. I did this once and came back to green liquid dripping off of the metal fingers.
A:AnswerIt stores the Ice in a basket when the basket if full it stops making ice until the ice is either emptied or used. If used at a party for instance it will just keep making ice continually as its being used. The ice will melt but the water will be recycled into more ice. I just empty it into a container in the freezer for later use.
