Frequently Asked Questions - IMDW1200W GORENJE

How to start the ice maker?

Plug in the appliance, press the ON/OFF button. The large ice indicator flashes by default. Select the desired size with the selection button.

Why is the 'Add Water' indicator on?

The water tank is empty or the pump has air. Add water to the MAX level and press ON/OFF again.

What to do if ice cubes are too big and stick together?

Select the small ice cube size. If ice cubes from previous cycles remain in the bin, remove them in standby mode.

How to clean the ice maker?

Unplug the appliance and remove the ice. Use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the interior and exterior. Rinse thoroughly before restarting. You can also start the automatic cleaning cycle by holding the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds.

Why is the machine not producing ice?

Check that the water tank is filled. If the compressor does not start, wait 3 minutes after a stop. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

What does flashing of all indicators mean?

This often indicates a blockage of the water tank by ice or a motor problem. Remove the ice under the ice scoop, unplug, then plug back in and restart. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

Can I use purified or distilled water?

It is recommended to use spring water. Pure water is not suitable.

How long does it take to get the first ice cubes?

About 10 to 30 minutes depending on ambient temperature and ice size. The first cycle may be longer.

How to drain residual water when not using the appliance?

Open the bottom drain cap (if present) or tilt the appliance to drain the tank. Clean and dry before storing.

Why does the appliance stop when the bin is not full?

Check if the ice level sensor is obstructed or if sunlight interferes. Clean the sensor or move the appliance indoors.

5. ICE FULL: ice full alarm. When the ice storage container becomes full with ice, the "ICE FULL" indicator light turns on and the machine stops. The ice needs to be taken out. When the level of ice is below the full sensor once again, the machine will restart automatically.

Using the appliance

1. Open the lid and take out the basket. Add water to the reservoir. Note: There is a maximum level, "MAX", in the reservoir. The water should not exceed the MAX position. If the water exceeds this level, you will need to open the bottom drain plug,
2. Plug in the power and press the Start/Stop button to start the machine.
3. Select the size of the ice you want to make, with large ice set as the default.

Cleaning

1. Clean the inner liner, ice collecting tray, water box, ice shovel and evaporator frequently. When cleaning, unplug the unit and remove the ice cubes. Use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the inside and outside surfaces of the ice maker. Do not spray the ice maker with chemicals or diluted agents such as acids, gasoline or oil. Rinse thoroughly before starting.
2. Keep ventilation openings in the enclosure of the appliance or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction. Do not use mechanical devices or alternative means to accelerate the defrosting process, besides those recommended by the manufacturer.
3. If you are reusing the machine after it has been idle for a period of time, it may not have enough water to pump for air retard; in this case, the water shortage indicator "Add water" will be on. Repress the Start/Stop button to restart the ice maker.
4. To ensure the cleanliness of ice, change the water in the water reservoir at least once per day. If the appliance is not used for a long time, drain the water out and clean the appliance.
5. If the compressor stops working due to a water shortage, water overfilling or interruption of power supply, it will take 3 mins to start up after being restarted.
6. Always use fresh water before starting ice production, whether it be during the initial installation or after a long shut-off period.
7. According to the actual use of the machine, the filter screen in the water tank shall be regularly cleaned after disassembly to prevent the water inlet from being blocked by incrustation or scale, as shown in the figure below. Take out the ice collecting tray and filter cover from the water tank in turn; clean the filter cover with clean water using a brush, and then put it back in place.
