Frequently Asked Questions - IMD1200SB GORENJE

How to start the ice maker?

Plug in the appliance, open the lid, remove the collection bin, fill the water tank with drinking water up to the MAX level, replace the bin, close the lid, then press the on/off button. The indicator stays lit continuously. You can then select the ice cube size with the select button.

What does the red flashing indicator mean?

The indicator flashes when the appliance is in standby mode (ready to start). When it is continuously lit, the machine is operating. If the ADD WATER indicator lights up, the water tank is empty. If the ICE FULL indicator lights up, the collection bin is full.

How long does it take to produce ice cubes?

The production cycle lasts approximately 7 to 15 minutes, depending on ambient temperature and water temperature. Production is faster with cold water (8-25°C) and an ambient temperature between 10 and 32°C.

How to clean the ice maker?

Turn off the appliance and unplug it. Open the drain cap to drain residual water. Fill the tank with clean water, select the cleaning mode (press select until the indicator flashes, then on/off): the appliance pumps water for 5 minutes then stops. Empty the water, clean the interior with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and vinegar, rinse and dry. Wash the bin and scoop in warm soapy water.

Why are my ice cubes stuck together?

This can happen if the production cycle is too long or if the water temperature is too low. Stop the machine, let the ice melt, then restart with water at a temperature between 8°C and 25°C.

What to do if the machine does not produce ice while the cycle seems to be running?

Check that the ambient temperature does not exceed 32°C and that the water is cold (8-25°C). If the problem persists, it may be a leak or blockage in the refrigeration system. Contact Gorenje after-sales service.

Can I use an extension cord?

Avoid extension cords as they may overheat. If essential, use a grounded extension cord with a power rating equal to or higher than the appliance (approx. 150 W). Keep it out of reach of children.

How to drain residual water before storing the appliance?

Open the drain cap at the bottom of the tank to drain the water. If water remains in the ice bin, gently push the bin back to let it flow into the tank. Dry the interior with a soft cloth before storing.

What to do if the ADD WATER indicator stays on after filling the tank?

Make sure the filter at the bottom of the tank is not clogged. Clean the appliance. If the problem persists, the pump may be faulty. Contact after-sales service for repair.

Is the appliance repairable?

Yes, Gorenje has a network of authorized after-sales services. For any repair, consult the warranty certificate or the website www.gorenje.com. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the appliance yourself.
