Use for a day or so is fine if then allowed to dry out but constant use is a danger. And use only distilled water. I had serious health problems over this use. Once getting mold you cannot get rid of it, and bleach will destroy the ice maker. Elderly are especially susceptible to this.
Just a matter of keeping it clean!!
