Could you put dry ice in it, or would that damage the unit?

Most dry ice is sold in styrofoam, plastic particularly is really brittle when super cold. I pre chill mine before a multi day day trip and it stays pretty cold. If you were looking to keep dry ice from evaporating I'd get a steel Colman from cabellas and prime it with regular ice first.

Mike, I think that would be a question for the manufacturer. The 'plastic' interior may not be able to take the sub-freezing temp. Sorry but your question needs the expertise of the manufacturer.

You could probably use dry ice to freeze it but I would keep a barrier like a towel between the dry ice and the plastic. Dry ice has a surface temp of minus 109 fare height, it might cause the container to become brittle. If you have dry ice you might forgo the blue ice.

Never tried with dry ice but I would think not...I think the surface material would stick to the dry ice.

I never did, but the fact that it locks liquids in probably would work. I Don't think I would use ice though.

You should not put dry ice direct into the cooler. OK to put it in any type of plastic bag before putting it in the cooler. Cheap grocery bag will do. C2CSAFETY stock and ship these same day. We will quote best price. Thanks

I have for short periods, but it may not be a good idea. The heating/cooling element is on the side of the cooler. I would imagine if the ice melted enough that water got in there, it could damage it. Maybe if you did ice in milk jugs or something.

Hair drier or just turning off the freezer would also work well, just be careful because any plastic in the ice maker could get warped from the heat if you aren't careful.

just put your frozen item on the tray ... if you wish, warm the tray first with warm water

I do not believe so, however you can test your unit by preparing a proper ice bath: http://www.thermoworks.com/blog/2010/10/making-a-proper-ice-bath/

Not that I am aware of. Since the unit is air cooled it would probably be a bad idea.

You should NOT put any ice in at all! The idea of the mister is that it cools by evaporation. Though it probably won't make a major difference if you do put ice in it, you want the moisture to make the change from liquid to a gas. Theoretically, it would more easily make this change if the water was warmer. Ice would only be replacing the space you had for additional water which would cool you.

This is not possible without disconnecting the refrigeration mechanism inside of the unit. Unless you know how, I would say no.

I don't see why you couldn't. As long as you are not placing the contact sensor inside of the freezer. Some sensors will malfunction at extreme temperatures.

I have no clue. I assume you have ice maker in fridge. Mine quit working a few days after warranty expired. After a little research, I find that many have problems with this ice maker. Frigidaire response, "TOUGH". I did find ice in the fan. No idea why. Used a hair dryer to melt it. I do not use the ice maker anymore.

Yes and no. Glass will not damage in the freezer on its own. It will explode if there is too much liquid. Liquid expands with freezing. Leave ample headroom and you should be all right. I hope this is helpful.

I don't see why not. It shouldn't Harm it any. I would maybe take it out before the dry cycle (heater) starts.

The only advice I can give is to defrost as the ice builds up. Just pull the plug and let it defrost slowly. Do not use anything to remove the ice.
