Ice has a bad taste or odor, even though cubes look clear

Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off the water supply before cleaning.

Steps to check:

• Replace filter: Install a new Grundig-compatible water filter cartridge if fitted.
• Clean bin: Remove the ice bin and wash it with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinstalling.
• Sanitize reservoir: Run a cleaning cycle with a food-safe sanitizer recommended by Grundig. Flush the system completely afterward.
• Remove odor sources: Keep cleaning chemicals, paints, or strong-smelling items away from the ice maker intake area.
