NOTE: The dispenser will automatically exit the Measured Fill screen after 15 seconds of inactivity. 2. You can dispense water by the ounce, cup, or liter. Press UNITS to select your desired setting. Minimum and maximum volumes are listed below. Units Minimum Maximum Ounces 1 128 Cups ¹/₄ 16 Liters 0.05 4 3. Press the up and down arrows 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. The Measured Fill feature is based on standard household water pressure of 60 psi. Users with low water pressure may need to adjust the volume selection accordingly. 4. To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR place the glass below the water dispenser and press 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.

To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser pad OR press the water dispenser 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 exit the Measured Fill screen after 15 seconds of inactivity. 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.

Pull the tray out until it hits the stop, then gently lift up on the back of the tray and slide it out the rest of the way. 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 refrigerator door is open. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin." Your ice maker can produce crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, press ICE on the display screen to select which type of ice you would like to dispense. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.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. 12
