Ice has a bad taste or odor

Safety: Disconnect power and water. Use only food-safe cleaners approved by Scotsman.

• Empty and clean bin: Discard all ice. Wash the bin interior with warm water and mild detergent, then sanitize with a food-safe sanitizer.
• Clean water system: Follow Scotsman’s cleaning and sanitizing procedure for the reservoir, distribution tubes, and evaporator.
• Replace water filter: Install a new filter cartridge if one is present and overdue.
• Flush system: Run and discard the first few batches of ice after cleaning to remove residual cleaner and odors.
• Check water source: If taste persists, have the incoming water tested for contaminants or consider additional filtration.
