Ice cubes have a bad taste or odor.

Safety: Unplug the unit and discard all ice before cleaning.

Steps:

• Empty and clean reservoir: Remove the water tank and wash it with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly.
• Descale system: Fill the reservoir with a mixture of water and white vinegar (per SMAD instructions) and run a cleaning cycle if available. Otherwise, manually circulate the solution and then drain.
• Clean bin and surfaces: Wipe the ice bin, evaporator area, and ice scoop with a food-safe sanitizer or diluted bleach solution, then rinse.
• Replace filter: If equipped, replace the water filter cartridge.
• Use fresh water: Refill with fresh, cold potable water and discard the first batch of ice after cleaning.
