Q&A
1. How often do I need to clean my ice maker?
It depends on your usage habits. If you use the ice maker often, it is recommended that you clean it at least once a week. Failure to clean the machine will cause scale accumulation, which will eventually block the pump and cause the product to stop working.
2. How should I clean the machine?
It is recommended to use lemon water or a solution of low-acid vinegar and water for cleaning. Drain the machine immediately after cleaning and then rinse it with pure water. It is recommended to drain the water tank at least once every three days. This keeps the hardness of the water low, ensures that impurities can be discharged, and prevents scale buildup in the water tank.
3. Why are my ice cubes cloudy?
It means that your water quality is turbid. It is recommended to use only drinking water and distilled water. If your water quality problem is serious, it is recommended that you install a water filtration system on your faucet.
4. Can I put milk and juice into the water tank to make ice cubes?
Using liquids other than water to make ice cubes is not recommended. Our research has found that the particles in milk and beverages can easily block the pump and reduce the life of the pump. Also, the protein in milk is prone to calcification, which chemically reacts with the PU water pipe inside the machine and easily breaks it, making the product unable to continue working.
5. Why do my ice cubes melt easily?
Because the ice maker is not a refrigerator, it does not have a heat-control function. High ambient temperatures in summer will accelerate the melting of ice cubes. You can close the lid of the machine to maintain the internal temperature. Some users put electric fans by the machine to blow away hot air, which you can also try. However, if you are not going to use the ice cubes for a long time, we recommend removing them from the ice basket and storing them in your freezer.
6. Why do my ice cubes stick together?
Either the room temperature or the water temperature is too low. You can add water to increase the temperature of the water in the tank. If this does not work, then the evaporator may have sagged and become deformed. It is recommended that you push up the cubes with your hand.
7. Why do the ice cubes I made smell of plastic?
The ice cubes themselves have no taste. If they smell of plastic, first try to clean the inside of the machine with lemon water. Then run a few ice-making cycles and discard the ice cubes made. Finally, rinse the machine with distilled water.
8. Why does my machine make noise when it is running?
The machine will make a faint sound when it is running. Closing the lid can reduce the noise. If the water pump makes noise during use, it is recommended to turn off the machine first. Then turn on the machine after cleaning the filter in the water tank to see whether the noise disappears.
9. Why is water leaking from my machine?
It may be that the tube inside the machine fell off during transport. You can remove the back cover of the machine and reconnect the tube yourself. If you do not know how to do this, please contact the Euhomy team. We will refer you to a professional video to help you solve the problem.
10. Why is there water flowing but not making ice?
If the ambient temperature and refrigeration pipe are OK, then the refrigerant in the machine has leaked. Please send us a video or picture, and the Euhomy team will help you.
11. Why the ice making is not big?
When the ambient temperature or the initial water temperature is too high or the machine's evaporator column deformation will lead to the production of ice is not large enough. It is recommended to continue to wait for the machine to make a few more rounds of ice, or add the water temperature of the tank is not too high, and then the deformed evaporator column will be manually pulled down to restore its original state.
