Ice cubes have a strong plastic, chemical, or musty taste or odor.

Safety: Unplug the unit before deep cleaning.

Cleaning procedure:

• Initial flush: Discard the first 2–3 batches of ice from a new Sencor ice maker.
• Clean reservoir: Empty the tank and wash with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly.
• Sanitize system: Fill the tank with a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water. Run a cleaning cycle if available, or let the unit circulate for 15–20 minutes, then drain completely.
• Rinse: Refill with clean water and run at least two full ice cycles, discarding the ice.
• Water quality: Use filtered or bottled water to reduce odors and mineral content.
