Water and Ice Dispenser Controls

TO DISPENSE WATER (STANDARD)

IMPORTANT: Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser paddle.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

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.
Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the Measured Fill feature. For optimum performance of your water dispenser, you must first calibrate Measured Fill.

How to calibrate Measured Fill:

IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before calibrating Measured Fill.

1. Place a sturdy measuring cup (1-cup [237 mL] size) on the dispenser tray centered in front of the water dispenser paddle.
   NOTE: Depending on your model, a measuring cup may be provided.

2. Press and hold the Options and Lock buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. The words “Back” and “1 Cup” will appear on the display screen. Also, the Calibrate Measured Fill icon will illuminate and remain lit while the Measured Fill feature is being calibrated.
   NOTE: You may press Ice Mode “Back” at any time to exit calibration mode. The Calibrate Measured Fill icon will turn off.

3. Press and release the water dispenser paddle, as needed, to dispense water to the 1 cup fill line.
   NOTE: If overfilling or spilling occurs, discard the water and press Ice Mode “Back” to restart the calibration process.

4. When 1 cup of water has been correctly dispensed into the measuring cup, touch Measured Fill button under the word “Confirm” to confirm the calibration.

When Measured Fill calibration has been confirmed, the Calibration icon will disappear and the display will return to the home screen.

1. Press Measured Fill to turn the feature on. When the feature is on, the Measured Fill screen appears on the display. Press Ice Mode under “Back” to manually turn off the Measured Fill feature. NOTE: The dispenser will automatically turn off Measured Fill after 1 minute of inactivity. When Measured Fill is turned off, any changes you have made will be lost and all defaults will be restored.

2. You can dispense water by the ounce, cup, or liter. The default unit is ounces. To switch to cups or liters, press the Light button.
   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| 4.00

3. Press the Lock and Options buttons to adjust the volume as desired. The Lock button increases the volume, and the Options button lowers the volume.
   When increasing or decreasing the dispense volumes, if an adjustment button (-/+) is held for approximately 10 seconds or longer the control may stop responding. Release the button for approximately 2 seconds and then continue making the adjustment.
   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 a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever or place the glass below the water dispenser and press the Measured Fill 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 selected volume has been dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser lever 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.

6. 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 Mode to manually turn it off) and then turn it back on.

TO DISPENSE ICE

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” in the Owner’s Manual.
The dispenser may continue to make noise and ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after releasing the dispenser button or paddle.
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.

1. Press Ice Mode to select cubed ice (default) or crushed ice. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
   IMPORTANT: If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it could be because of low water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements” in the Owner’s Manual.
   WARNING Cut Hazard
   Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser paddle. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.
   NOTE: When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

Dispenser Drip Tray
