Ice has a bad taste or odor, even though cubes look normal.

Safety: Unplug the unit and close the water supply before cleaning. Use only food-safe cleaners and descalers.

Steps to improve taste and odor:

• Discard old ice: Empty the ice bin completely and discard any stored ice.
• Clean bin and interior: Wash the ice bin and interior surfaces with warm water and a mild, food-safe detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
• Descale water circuit: Follow the Vestfrost instructions to run a descaling cycle using an approved ice machine cleaner. Flush with fresh water afterward.
• Check water source: If possible, connect the ice maker to a filtered cold water supply. Avoid connecting to hot water lines.
• Remove odor sources: Keep cleaning chemicals, paints, or strong-smelling items away from the ice maker area.

Note: It may take several batches of new ice for taste to normalize after cleaning.
