Frequently Asked Questions - KA15KNICEMKSSA Kogan

How often should I clean my Kogan ice maker?

It is recommended to clean the ice maker every 2-3 weeks or after every 10 uses. Use a mixture of water and white vinegar to descale, then rinse thoroughly.

Why is my ice maker not producing ice?

Common reasons include: water reservoir empty, ambient temperature too high, or the machine needs descaling. Ensure the water level is above the minimum mark and the room temperature is between 10-32 °C.

How long does it take to make the first batch of ice?

The first cycle typically takes about 6-8 minutes, but subsequent cycles may be faster as the machine cools down.

Can I use the ice maker continuously?

Yes, but it is advisable to let the machine rest for 5 minutes after 12 hours of continuous use to prolong the compressor life.

What type of ice does this machine produce?

It produces bullet-shaped ice, which is clear and solid, ideal for drinks.

How do I clean the water reservoir?

Remove the reservoir, empty it, and wash with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. For descaling, use a vinegar solution and run a cleaning cycle.

The ice cubes are too small - what can I do?

Small cubes may indicate a need to descale the machine or that the water level is low. Also, check if the ambient temperature is too high.

Can I use the ice maker without the basket?

No, the basket is required to collect ice. Without it, ice will melt and water may overflow.

What does the 'Add Water' indicator mean?

It indicates the water level is too low. Refill the reservoir with fresh water to the maximum line.

Is the Kogan ice maker portable?

Yes, it is a compact countertop unit that can be easily moved. It weighs only 6.5 kg and has a handle for carrying.
