Can you turn it off and use ice in it?

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.

I would not think that would be a good idea. You always take the chance of moisture short circuiting the system.

It absolutely can be removed (unscrewed) before adding your ice cubes and additional water. I really, really like this. Have a green one for my husband and a raspberry one for me!

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

Manual defrost. But it is fairly easy, turn it off, and the ice will come off in large pieces

No, there is a place built in the machine that you just pour in the water. Turn it on and make ice cubes. You can use it any where there is an outlet. Mine has worked perfectly.

Does it turn without ice in it . If not l would say the switch or motor is bad

yes you can do it but mine broke after some time; also it is not powerful enough when it is "really" cold.

Yes, you can. I have made it without ice and just added ice to my glass. I am very fussy about my tea and this makes very good ice tea.

No, it does not. You would have to let it cool down and then put ice in it (or vice versa).

I don't. It's so good at cooling you have to defrost it from time to time. It lacks an auto defrost.

No. You can turn the hot or cold on or off, but they come at a preset temperature.

It says that you can. I have had the cold water line turned off for other reasons when chaning it, so I can't say for sure, but think that you would have very little spillage while changing it.

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.

Yes, you can I have used it that way. all you have to do is turn it off after it brews...don't add ice so once the automatic blend cycle starts it's only coffee. Hope that helps.

No. The machine should be OFF when you fill it. After filling it, the arm goes down inside of the machine and presses the ice towards the blades. You turn the machine off after it finishes, pull the arm up out of the machine and then you reload it. I have had this for several months and use it daily. It is wonderful! Hope this helps.

Yes! There is an "auto" button that allows it to stop once it reaches a certain temp but if you want it on all the time you can press that button to turn it off.

I don't, but it's all brass so why not...connect using 1/4" copper tubing. The metal would probably be very hot to the touch! Mine is hooked up with the water filter going to the ice maker.
