Rapid Freeze Power Sonic Nugget Ice 30 LBS of Ice Per Day 3 QT Water Tank 4.4 LBS Ice Basket Durable Stainless Steel ADVANCED INFRARED SENSOR Sensors prevent the ice basket from over-flowing.

SELF-CLEANING FUNCTION Effortlessly maintain the ice maker’s efficiency and hygiene at the touch of a button, with two handy drain tubes for easy drainage.

Review: I love this ice machine! - I am so glad I picked this one! I looked at all of them and this one really appealed to me. It was a great choice. I read all the comments for all the different ice machines, good and bad when I was trying to decide… which helped me in my decision and I think will help me make my ice machine last for a very long time. I suggest you do that for handy tips. It’s very easy to use. I plug it in and pour about 3/4 of a gallon of distilled water in the well. And it immediately starts making the ice. When I get a glass full or more of ice in the basket, I shake the basket so water sheds off the ice and then put the ice in a gallon freezer bag. The machine is NOT a refrigerator… so the ice will melt if you just leave it in there. So important to bag it as you go and freeze it. When I take the bag out of the freezer to add more ice, I break the ice up in the bag before I add more ice - generally just hitting the bag on the countertop does the trick. Then repeat as I add more ice. That keeps the nuggets of ice broken up. Using distilled water keeps minerals from building up in the machine. The ice is very soft and ice nuggets a perfect size. When it is through making the ice, I unplug the machine, remove the small excess water at the bottom by scooping it out and then dry the inside for storage. No trouble at all. It is so quiet that sometimes I forget I have it running. I bought it as a Mother’s Day gift to myself and I absolutely love it. Highly recommend it.
Review: Loved it at first, now disappointed - I purchased this in September of 2022. Loved it at first. It was easy to use, and a nice little luxury since we never had an ice maker before. In November, I went to do the regular cleaning and noticed black stuff in the ice basket. It was not mold; it was something very greasy and would not wash off easily even with soap and water. I thoroughly cleaned the unit; the black stuff didn't reappear, but a puddle of water showed up under the unit, sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, but when the puddle dried it left behind a lot of white crystalline stuff. Since we used only reverse osmosis water in it, that shouldn't have been happening because the water doesn't contain a lot of minerals. I called the support line to see if they could help me diagnose the leak thinking maybe something just pulled loose when I was cleaning it. They first offered to just replace the unit stating it had a one year warranty, but sorry, they claimed to have none in stock with no idea when it would be back in stock. That's a red flag. Then they offered to send me one through desertcart, but claimed it was out of stock on desertcart. (It is not at this time). They then offered me a full refund, which I am currently waiting for. The support person was very nice, and I have no complaints about the support call, but I am disappointed. I am left with a $400 piece of refuse which I will have to find a place to recycle, probably for a fee. I thought this was a reputable brand, but I think like so many other things, it is just factory made in China and branded with the Mueller name. You can find other mystery name brands that look identical. Maybe I just got a lemon. If I purchase another one and have no problems with it, I will update this review. My one recommendation if you do buy this unit would be to spend the extra $11.52 and buy the extra 5 year warranty. It was really nice while it lasted, but it only lasted 2 months. Update: 3/30/23 The replacement for our original ice maker purchase has been working well now for 3 months. It has a louder hum than the first one so I stuck a magnet on the side and that quieted the vibration. The original defective unit got a new home with a handy guy who repaired it with a new o ring and some new screws. Update 11/25/2023 The second unit (the replacement) always made more noise than the original one, (which was repaired and is still going strong). After one year of use and regular cleanings, the second unit started making a squealing noise. Then it stopped working altogether, always stuck in the defrost mode. I have called customer support because is it still under the 1 year warranty which is not published in the manual, but was the stated warranty from customer service when I called last year about the first unit. No one is available at the customer service number. I had purchased the extended warranty, so will be using that. I can no longer recommend this unit. Update 12/2023 The contact info in the owners manual is incorrect, but I was eventually able to contact the manufacturer and it was replaced under the one year warranty. When this one dies, I will look for another brand.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you keep it running all the time?  It seems to make a lot of ice once running.   I see people just let the ice melt.  Does that affect the taste?**
A: We keep ours going 24x7.  It will stop production once the basket is full (the machine goes silent).  Once ice is taken out or the basket is emptied it resumes production.  It's fairly well insulated but it's not a freezer so the ice will eventually melt if left alone.  Since the top seals the unit, the flavor of the ice will not change - it just returns to its liquid state and refreezes.   

Odd flavoring comes from contaminants introduced to the ice/water or the unit not being cleaned.  We clean ours every couple of weeks as directed and the ice still tastes great.

**Q: How do you use the self cleaning mode on my mueller nugget ice maker model # NM-540. I received as a gift and do not have the instruction book?**
A: Take the bucket out and you can put a small amount of white vinegar in the water well and add cool water to the max line. Then hold down the clean button and it will indicate with a light up that the cleaning process has begun. After it cycles put it by the sink or get a large pot and drain the water out using the tubs in the back. Lift up on the black connector for the tubes, you will be able to move them down to drain. The end of the tubes need to be lower than the machine. If you use vinegar, I would repeat the cleaning cycle with fresh water. It is best to use water that has been filtered, by refrigerator or a pitcher filer.

**Q: In the morning the ice basket is empty & water tank full; "empty" light is flashing. Only if I open and close the lid does it start making ice. Why?**
A: The tank went empty before it got filled back or maybe you need to clean it look in your booklet to see how to clean, maybe just sayin

**Q: does unit have uv light?**
A: No I’ve light
