Rinse the water system through if the appliance 
has not been used for a long period, or if 
the water tastes or smells unpleasant. In addition, 
draw water from the Water Dispenser for several 
minutes. If the unpleasant taste or smell persists 
exchange the Filter Cartridge.
If the appliance or the ice has not been used 
actively for several weeks or months or the ice 
cubes taste or smell unpleasantly, change the
