Troubleshooting
Refer to the following common issues and solutions:
-
Loud Sound During Operation:
The machine produces a loud sound during the grinding phase due to the high-speed motor. This is normal operation. To minimize disturbance, consider using the delay timer function to schedule operation for a convenient time.
-
Machine Makes Sound but Does Not Appear to Grind:
The soy milk maker operates in a five-step cycle, which includes intermittent grinding. If you hear sound, it is likely grinding. Periods of silence indicate other steps in the process (e.g., heating, soaking). Allow the full cycle to complete.
-
"E2" Error Displayed and Machine Stops:
The "E2" error typically indicates an over-temperature condition, a safety protection mechanism. This can occur if hot or warm water/juice is added to the unit. To resolve:
- Unplug the machine.
- Remove the contents and allow the unit to cool down completely.
- Ensure only cold water and ingredients are used.
- Plug in and restart the operation.
-
Soy Milk Consistency:
While the machine is designed for no-filter use, some fine bean residue or shell particles may remain. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. For a smoother consistency, ensure beans are properly soaked (if applicable) and consider adjusting the water-to-bean ratio.
