■ 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 a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad or place the glass below the water dispenser and press the MEASURED FILL button. Hold the glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the water dispenses into the glass. To Dispense Ice: 1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch between cubed and crushed, press ICE TYPE. WARNING Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. A Failure to do so can result in cuts. A. Water dispenser spout 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 selected volume has been dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser pad OR press the MEASURED FILL button a second time. NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has been dispensed, the digital display will continue to show how much water remains to be dispensed. The display will turn off after 1 minute of inactivity. To select a new volume or start dispensing the same volume again, you must first finish dispensing the selected volume, or turn off the Measured Fill feature (either by waiting 1 minute so it will automatically turn off or by pressing ICE TYPE to manually turn it off) 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. 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 TYPE button. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected. 2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser pad. Hold the glass close to the ice guide to ensure that the ice dispenses into the glass. A A. Ice guide 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. 3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing. The Dispenser Light When you use the dispenser, the lights will automatically turn on. If you want the lights to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or DIM. If you want only the dispenser pad lighting to be on continuously, choose PADS. The display screen indicates which mode 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. 16 ON DIM PADS ON: Press LIGHT to turn all of the dispenser lights on. DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. All of the dispenser lights will remain on, but at a lower intensity. PADS: Press LIGHT a third time to select PADS mode. The dispenser pad lights will remain on at full intensity, but the main dispenser lighting will turn off. OFF: Press LIGHT a fourth time to turn all of the dispenser lights off. If the dispenser lights do not appear to be working as described in "Water and Ice Dispensers" (in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide) or if the interior lights do not illuminate when either door is opened, call for assistance or service.
