1 gallon usually does it for me. Did you follow the checklist in the "manual" thread?

Make sure to empty the drip pan outside behind the fridge, mine was 1/2 full.

Thanks for posting about the pan. I never knew about that. Matter of fact, I don't recall ever taking the cover off to notice it.

I winterized mine today and remembered to check for the drip cup, sure enough there it was. Only had a half-inch of water in it. I'll add it to the checklist in the "manual".

We added an internal water filter at the kitchen sink. After a call to the manufacturer, they suggested taking off the filter itself, putting it into a plastic bag and refrigerating it for the winter. Since there isn't a bypass valve on the filter head, I will have to tie the intake and output together and then do the winterizing. Just thought I would add that to your basic instructions. Safe Travels.
