Ice has a bad taste or odor, even though water supply tastes fine

Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water before cleaning. Use only food-safe cleaners recommended by De Dietrich.

Deep cleaning:

• Empty bin and reservoir: Discard all ice and drain the water reservoir.
• Clean interior surfaces: Wash the bin, reservoir, and accessible water paths with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly.
• Descale system: Run a cleaning cycle with a food-safe ice maker descaler following the De Dietrich instructions. Rinse by running several cycles and discarding the ice.
• Replace water filter: Install a new filter cartridge if present.

Tip: Regular cleaning (every 3–6 months) prevents odors from returning.
