Is there a way to drain the water from the internal tubes before storing?

The only thing I know to do is to allow the machine to run out of water Empty the resovoir and "make a cup" of coffee

Yes, the manual (yep I do read them) suggests that you descale and pump out the water for storage. The instructions are very good.

When you make the last cup of coffee shut it off, and drain out whatever water there's in the container, by not letting the water boil for the next cup it will not be in the tubes,if further questions you're free to write me, good luck

Keep a little water in it all the time. The only time I totally drain mine is to clean it.

You will leave a small hole open in the air box it will drain out the water that gets built up in the air box

You need to empty a bucket or run a small hose through the floor or out of the wall. I'm not sure you would want to recycle the water in the air again because part of the cooling process is reducing the relative humidity. I think all air conditioners do this---even central air.

No I do not drain out all the air because I want it to have air in the tank when I get ready to use it. It will not hurt anything to keep the air saved in the tank.

There is a hole at the bottom through which I drain the drippings after washing the surfaces, too. It's a messy process.

Not if you use the holding tank. If draining it directly into a drain, yeah.

As I recall, the instructions were not worth much anyway. Just put some clean water in the top half of the unit. Push the pump to dispense water into bowl. Pull the handle that opens the blade valve to transfer water into lower half of unit. Remove top half of unit and transport to where you want to dump it. By working with clean water you won't make a mess while learning how it all works. Not hard to figure this out.

Only if you want the water to come out of the tubing continuously. Other than that you can just fill it with water and be done.

If you want to winterize a system, just put in a tee, a valve and run the open tube outside the dwelling. You would then just need to shut off the water source and open the valve to drain the system. Just make sure that the tee is the lowest point in the system...you may need multiple tees and valves to easily drain all the water out....

Great Question......I just leave the water in the reservoir although if you are going to store it for more than a month or so I think I would just pull the reservoir out and turn the unit over so I empties. I have not found a way to get the reservoir out either.

Yes. The instructions tells you to boil parts. I think the only part you can't is the tube.

If u cant order one from the manufacturer, then i would fill the tube top with great stuff. It will "foam out" - simply trim off the excess for a water tite seal.

you would need a bucket or something underneath as it has to have a place to drain. or you would just need to keep your stopper in place and scoop out the water/ice when needed

Yes,... I've fill the onboard reserve tank using a hose and filter. You need to flush out the filter first beforehand though.

No - I was concerned that I might burn it out but what I do is get the pump flowing and then unplug it and just let it act as a siphon. THat way you dopn't have to worr about letting it run dry. It takes longer but it's better than standing around waiting for it to finish.

Yup. There is a small drain hole in the back of the refrigerator. Use a toothpick or shishkabob skewer (wood so you don't scratch the plastic or paint) and make sure that hole is able to drain water properly. The unit ordinarily goes through a cooling cycle that allows condensation on the coils to melt, to run down channels, and exit that drain hole. There is a drain cup located on top of the compressor below the drain hole-- the compressor is warm during operation, and that heat evaporates the collected water as it drains. If you need to, use a clean towel to absorb excess moisture now-- clear the drain hole-- and the unit should resume its designed process for draining and evaporating the condensation.
