Ice has a bad taste or odor

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

• Discard old ice: Empty the ice bin completely and discard any ice with off-odors.
• Clean interior: Wash the bin, reservoir, and accessible internal surfaces with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly.
• Run cleaning cycle: Perform a full cleaning/descaling cycle using a food-safe cleaner recommended by Teka.
• Replace water filter: Install a new filter cartridge if your model uses one.
• Check environment: Remove strong-smelling items or chemicals stored near the ice maker, as odors can be absorbed.
• Flush water line: Before reconnecting, flush the household water line into a bucket to remove stagnant water.
