Ice has an unpleasant taste or odor.

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals that are not food-safe.

• Empty and discard ice: Throw away all existing ice and drain the water reservoir.
• Clean reservoir and bin: Wash the reservoir and ice basket with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly.
• Descale water path: Run a cleaning cycle (if available) using a manufacturer-approved ice maker cleaner or a diluted vinegar solution, then flush with several cycles of fresh water.
• Use filtered water: For plumbed models, install or replace a water filter. For manual-fill models, use filtered or bottled water.
• Odor sources: Keep the unit away from strong-smelling items and ensure the room is well ventilated.
