Ice cubes have a bad taste or odor.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and close the water supply. Use only food-safe cleaners approved for ice machines.

Sanitizing steps:

• Empty bin: Discard all existing ice.
• Clean interior: Wash the bin, walls, and internal components with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
• Run cleaning cycle: Use SMEG-recommended ice maker cleaner and sanitizer, following the manual. Ensure a full rinse cycle is completed.
• Flush water line: Disconnect the supply hose and flush several liters of water through it before reconnecting.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use bleach or scented cleaners unless specifically allowed, as residues can affect taste.
