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 NIGHT LIGHT. ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on. NIGHT LIGHT: Press LIGHT a second time to select the Night Light. The dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens. OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off. The dispenser lights are LEDs that can not be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in Night Light mode). See "Troubleshooting" for more information. The Dispenser Lock (on some models) Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to prevent unintentional dispensing by small children and pets. NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the ice and water dispensers. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker & Storage Bin." Press and hold LOCKOUT for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser. Press and hold LOCKOUT a second time to unlock the dispenser. 7
