Q&A

1.How often do I need to clean my ice maker?****

– Depending on how frequently you use it, 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 properly.

2.How should I clean the machine?****

– It is recommended to use lemon water or weak acid vinegar for cleaning. Drain immediately after cleaning, and then clean it with pure water.
It is recommended to drain the water at least once every three days (pulling out the small hose on the right side of the water tank). Draining will not only ensure that the hardness of the water is not too high, but also ensure that impurities can be discharged well, and it is not easy to produce scale in the water tank.

3.Why is my ice cube cloudy?****

– It means that the water quality is turbid. It is recommended to use drinking water and distilled water. If your water quality problem is serious, it is recommended that you install a water filter kit.

4.Can I put milk and juice into the water tank to make ice cubes?****

– We recommend that you do not do that. Our research has found that the high concentration of milk and beverages can easily block the pump and reduce the life span of the pump. At the same time, the protein in milk is prone to calcification, which chemically reacts with the PU water pipe inside the machine, which easily breaks it, making the product unable to continue working.

5.Why does my ice cube melt easily?****

– Since the ice maker is not a refrigerator, it does not have a heat preservation function. The high ambient temperature in summer will accelerate the melting of ice cubes. You can close the lid of the machine to keep the internal temperature. Some customers also put electric fans on the side of the machine to blow away the hot air surrounding the device, thus solving the problem. Feel free to try it yourself. However, if you are not using ice cubes for a long time, we recommend removing them from the ice basket and storing them in the refrigerator.

6.Why is my ice so thick and difficult to fall from the ice tray? What should I do?****

– It may be that your ice making time is set for too long, or it may be that the temperature of your environment is very low. You can reduce the time to 0 or -6 by pressing the minus key on the touch panel.

7.Why does the ice cubes have a plastic smell?****

– The ice cube itself has no taste. If you feel there is a plastic smell, try to clean the inside of the machine with lemon water, then run a few cycles, and finally rinse with distilled water.

8.Why is there noise in the operation of my machine?****

– There is a faint sound when the machine is running. Closing the lid can reduce the noise. If the water pump makes a noise during use, it is recommended to turn off the machine first, and then turn on the machine after cleaning the filter in the water tank to observe whether or not the noise disappears.

9.Why is water leaking from my machine?****

– It may be that the PUA tube inside the machine fell off during transportation. You can remove the back cover of the machine and connect it by yourself. If you don’t know how to operate, please contact the Euhomy team. We will give you  a professional video to help you solve the problem.

10.Why is there water flowing but not making ice?****

– Please provide a video or picture and send it to us. The Euhomy team will assist you.

Safety Precautions

IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons or property. Read all instructions before using any appliance ：

UNPACKING YOUR ICE MAKER

• Remove the exterior and interior packaging. Check that the ice basket and ice scoop are included.
• If any parts are missing, please contact Customer Service.
• Clean the interior with a soft cloth dampened with plain lukewarm water. Take out the ice basket and scoop, and wash them in warm, soapy water. Then rinse, dry, and re-place the basket and scoop. Find a location for your ice maker that is out of direct sunlight and away from other sources of heat (e.g., a stove, furnace, or radiator).
• Place the ice maker on a flat, level surface.
•  Be sure that there is at least 6 inches of space between the back and sides of your ice maker and any walls.
• After unpacking or moving the ice maker, allow 1 hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging in the appliance.
• The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

Note: Fill with potable water only.

• CONNECTING YOUR ICE MAKER

• Improper use of the grounded plug can increase the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, please call Customer Service.
  This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug, which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electric shock.

• Plug your appliance into an exclusive, professionally installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed to a certified electrician. This appliance requires a standard 110–120V, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.

OPERATION PANEL AND DISPLAY AREA Remove the water tank cover and pour potable water into tank.
Be sure to keep the water level below the max level. See the FULL mark in the following picture. Re-place the cover at once to prevent foreign matter from entering the tank. Note:

• Do not pour water into the inner water tank located underneath the ice basket. This tank does not hold enough water, so ice-making performance will be negatively affected.
• When you plug in the unit, the power symbol < **** > will flash. Press the <ON/OFF> button to turn on the ice maker. The unit will start making ice cubes, and the ice-making symbol < > will remain on display. The upper left corner of the display shows the ambient temperature. After several minutes, this area will show a flashing number to indicate the countdown for the ice-making cycle. For example, “10M” means your ice will be ready in 10 minutes.
• When the ice maker harvest, the < > indicator will flash. Water will flow from the top water tank to the bottom tank through the solenoid valve, and the < > indicator will be on. When the bottom water tank is full, the < > indicator will be off. Then the ice-making cycle will start again. When there is no water in the top water tank, the < > indicator will stay on. Turn off the unit and fill the tank with water again. Then restart the unit to make ice cubes. Or fill water directly and wait 20mins, the unit will restart.

Note:

• The ice-making cycle lasts about 13 to 25 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature. Depending on the initial water temperature, the first ice-making cycle may take a little longer. In an extremely hot environment, the ice-making cycle may vary but it will not exceed 35 minutes.
  If the ice cubes are not thick or large enough, during ice-making, press the <+> or <–> to change the ice making cycle length in 1-minute increments to a maximum of 6 minutes. This can only be changed before the cycle starts.

• When the Ice Full indicator < > is on, the unit will stop. Take out the ice cubes and the unit will start working again.
  Pressing the <ON/OFF> button for more than 5 seconds while the ice maker is working will start harvest. Press the <ON/OFF> button again to turn off the unit.
  There is a timer setting function on the machine. When the machine is working, you can set the shutdown time at regular intervals. The appointment time would be invalid after shutdown. When the machine is turned off you can make an appointment to turn on the machine.
  Press the button. The display will show <1H>. Press <+> and <–> to set the time. The will flash while you are setting the time. After 5 seconds idle, the will stay on and your time setting will be saved.

• Water drainage: Remove the drain plug cap on the back of unit. Take out the silicone plug. Then drain out the water inside the ice maker. It is ideal to change the water every 24 hours and clean the unit every 3 days.

Note:

• Be sure the water tank, water filter, and water separator pipe are not clogged. If they are, clean them.
• The water temperature will affect the ice-making capacity. The lower the water temperature, the more ice cubes will be produced.
• The cooler the ambient temperature, the more ice cubes will be produced.
• Always use good-quality water to ensure smooth operation of the pump. Bad-quality water will cause the pump to make noise but will not keep the unit from working.
• The compressor restart 3mins later if you turn off the unit.

Tips & Maintenance

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR ICE MAKER
Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly.

• Take out the ice basket.

• Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth.

• Rinse the interior with clean water. Drain out the water through the drainage port by removing the drain cap on the back and taking out the silicone plug.

• The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution and warm water.

• Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

• When the machine will not be used for a long time, open the drain cap to drain water completely out of the water tank.
  After using your ice maker for about 3 days, we suggest that you clean the unit. The water separator pipe and water filters in particular must be cleaned periodically.
  If you don’t hear liquid flowing while the compressor and water pump are running, the water separator pipe may be clogged. Please turn off the unit. Then remove this pipe down and clean it.
  Clean each hole along the pipe wall, as shown in the following picture. After cleaning, reinstall the water separator pipe in its original orientation, making sure that the right end of the pipe is connected to the silicone pipe well.

• Clean both water tanks with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth. Use clean water to rinse the inside of the unit. Drain out the water through the drainage port by removing the drain cap and plug on the back. Regular cleaning will keep the unit and your ice cubes sanitary, and also help the unit work normally.

• If, when you are cleaning the ice maker, you find that ice cubes are frozen onto the evaporator and cannot be removed easily, you can turn on the unit to start the ice-making process. Then press the <ON/OFF> button for at least 5 seconds so the unit can start the ice harvest process and melt the ice cubes. These steps will help you remove any stuck ice cubes.

• How to completely drain the internal tank and large water tank: The water in the large water tank is kept out of the drainage port by the water valve. If you want to drain out all the water, please plug on the unit but do not start it. Then remove the drainage port cap at the back. Wait a few minutes and then all of the water will flow out.
