 how to clean my ice maker?

You can use clean towel to wipe the exterior and interior of the ice maker. Because there may be scale accumulation in the internal water pipe, we recommend the use of citric acid solution for cleaning the internal water pipe of the machine. You can add a certain amount of water and citric acid to the sink and mix it, then long press the “ON/OFF” button for 5s to turn on the self-cleaning function. Please rest assured, the citric acid solution is not harmful to the human body, and you only need to drain the wastewater and repeat the above procedures with drinking water once or twice.

how often should I clean my ice maker?

The expected frequency of cleaning ice maker depends on how often you use it. We recommend you to clean it once a week at least. But if you don’t use the ice maker regularly, please wipe remaining water after you clean it for avoiding mildew inside of the machine.

Why is my ice defective(less ice or thin ice)?

The refrigeration circuit of the ice machine needs to run three to four times every first time to get into perfect working condition. Therefore, the phenomenon of less ice or thin ice may occurs in the first four rounds. Please don't worry, this is normal. If the situation persists after this, please contact us and Antarctic Star will be responsible for the defective product.

Why does my ice taste terrible?

If you use tap water to make ice, The taste of ice may be affected by the hardness of the water. So we highly recommend you to use drinking water or mineral water to make ice to improve the taste. If you still have this problem, please contact 223-4467172/661-4358826 to let us guard your usage experience.

Why isn't my ice transparent?

The transparency of the ice is affected by the quality of the water. If your ice is cloudy, it may be because the water you are using is too hard. Using water that is too hard to make ice can affect the transparency of the ice, the life of the machine, and even your health. Antarctic Star therefore recommend that you use better water whenever possible.

Why does my ice melt so fast?

The ice maker is not a refrigerator, so the ice cannot be stored in the basket for a long period. We recommend you to use the produced ice as soon as possible to enjoy the best taste of it.

Why is it that I store ice in the freezer and it freezes into a big block?

Because the ice is melting, there is water on the surface when you put it in the freezer. The water on the surface of the ice in the refrigerator condenses and sticks the ice together. This is normal.
