Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How often should the ice maker be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For frequent use, cleaning at least once a week is recommended. Failure to clean can lead to scale buildup, which may clog the pump and impair operation.
2. How should the unit be cleaned?
Use water with lemon or a low-acidity vinegar-water solution. After cleaning, empty the unit and rinse with clean water. Emptying the water tank at least every three days helps maintain low water hardness, ensures impurity drainage, and prevents scale buildup.
3. Why are the ice cubes cloudy?
This indicates low water quality. Use only drinking water or distilled water. If water quality is a persistent issue, consider installing a faucet filter system.
4. Can I put milk or juice in the water tank?
Only water should be used for ice production. Liquids other than water can easily clog the pump and shorten its lifespan. Milk proteins can also lead to calcification, potentially damaging the internal PU water pipe.
5. Why do the ice cubes melt so quickly?
The ice maker is not a refrigeration unit and does not regulate temperature. High ambient temperatures, especially in summer, accelerate melting. Closing the lid can help maintain internal temperature. Some users place electric fans nearby to improve air circulation. If not using the ice immediately, store it in a freezer.
6. Why are the ice cubes sticking together?
This can be due to low room or water temperature. Add more water to raise the temperature. If the problem persists, the evaporator may be low or deformed. Gently break apart the ice cubes manually.
7. Why do the ice cubes have a plastic taste/smell?
Ice cubes should be tasteless. If they have a plastic smell, first clean the interior with water and lemon. Run several ice-making cycles and discard the ice. Finally, rinse the unit with distilled water.
8. Why is the unit noisy during operation?
Some operational noise is normal. Closing the lid can reduce noise. If the pump is noisy, turn off the unit. After cleaning the water tank filter, restart the unit to see if the noise subsides.
9. Why is there water leaking from the unit?
A water pipe inside the unit may have detached during transport. You can try to reattach it by removing the rear cover. If unsure, contact Euhomy support for a video guide.
10. Why does water flow, but no ice is produced?
If the ambient temperature and refrigerant line are normal, there might be a refrigerant leak. Please send a video or photo for assistance from Euhomy support.
11. Why are the ice cubes small?
High ambient temperatures, high initial water temperature, or a deformed evaporator column can lead to insufficient ice production. Allow a few cycles or use cooler water. If the evaporator column is deformed, try to manually restore its original shape.
