To Dispense Water (Measured Fill): Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water with the touch of a few buttons. NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Be sure that the container is empty and can hold the entire volume. If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection. 1. Press MEASURE FILL to turn the feature on. The Measured Fill options will appear on the display screen. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected. CRUSHED CUBED For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes. To Dispense Ice: 1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice. WARNING At any time while Measured Fill is active, press HOME to turn off the feature. NOTE: The dispenser will automatically turn off Measured Fill after 15 seconds of inactivity. 2. You can dispense water by the ounce, cup, or liter. Press UNIT to select your desired setting. Default, minimum, and maximum volumes are listed below. Units Default Minimum Maximum Ounces 8 1 128 Cups 1 ¹/₄ 16 Liters 0.25 0.05 4 3. Press the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the volume as desired. NOTE: Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL] per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz [237 mL]). You may need to adjust the volume to avoid unintentionally overfilling coffee cups. 4. To dispense water, press and hold a sturdy glass against the dispenser pad OR place the glass below the dispenser and press and release the WATER dispenser button. NOTE: While dispensing water, the digital display will count down how much water remains to be dispensed, according to the volume you selected. The flow of water will automatically stop once the desired volume has been dispensed. 5. To stop dispensing before the entire selected volume has been dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser pad OR press and release the WATER dispenser button a second time. NOTE: To select a new volume or select the same volume again, you must first finish dispensing the selected volume, or turn off the Measured Fill feature and then turn it back on. The Ice Dispenser Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser pad is pressed. The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin." Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the ICE button on the dispenser panel. Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts. 2. Hold a sturdy glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass. Press the glass against the dispenser pad or, if necessary, use your index finger or other hand to press the pad while keeping the glass close to the dispenser opening. IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the pad in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities. NOTE: You can dispense both ice and water at the same time. While using the dispenser pad to dispense ice, press the WATER dispenser button to also dispense water. Releasing the WATER dispenser button while still pressing the dispenser pad will not affect ice dispensing. 3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds after removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing. The Dispenser Light (on some models) When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or DIM. The display screen indicates which mode is selected. ON: Press LIGHT to turn on the dispenser light. DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. The dispenser light will remain on, but at a lower intensity. OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn off the dispenser light. The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see "Troubleshooting" for more information. 8
