4. Dispense water. 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. ■ Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle. OR ■ Place the glass below the water dispenser and press MEASURED FILL, under Dispense, for hands-free dispensing. 5. To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser paddle OR press MEASURED FILL 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/WATER "Back" to manually turn it off) and then turn it back on. The Ice Dispenser IMPORTANT: ■ If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it could be because of low water pressure. See "Water Supply Requirements." ■ Ice travels from the ice storage bin through the dispenser chute to the dispenser. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin." To Clean the Ice Dispenser Chute: Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked. If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage bin and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks. ■ Remove the ice clogging the storage bin and delivery chute, using a plastic utensil if necessary. ■ Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage bin using a warm, damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. To Dispense Ice: 1. Select the desired type of ice. To switch between cubed ice and crushed ice, press ICE/WATER. WARNING IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the paddle 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 dispenser paddle. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing. The Dispenser Light When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. To turn on the light when you are not dispensing: Press LIGHT to toggle through the following choices in a continuous loop: ■ OFF (default) - The dispenser light is off ■ ON - The dispenser light remains on at 100% brightness ■ DIM - The dispenser light remains on at 50% brightness The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see "Troubleshooting" for more information. ON DIM The Dispenser Lock The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets. NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the controls and dispenser paddles. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin." ■ Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser. ■ Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser. The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked. LOCKED UNLOCKED Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts. 2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass. 21
