User Guide

TO DISPENSE WATER (STANDARD):

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser paddle. Hold the glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the water dispenses into the glass.
   NOTE: While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how much water has been dispensed.

2. To stop dispensing, remove the glass from the dispenser paddle.

TO DISPENSE WATER (MEASURED FILL):

Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water with the touch of a few buttons.
NOTE: 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.
Calibrate Measured Fill
IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before calibrating Measured Fill. See “Flush the Water System” in the Owner’s Manual.
1. Place a sturdy measuring cup (1 cup [237 mL] size) on the dispenser tray, centered in front of the water dispenser pad.
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.
3. Using your hand (not the measuring cup), press and release the water dispenser paddle in order to dispense water to the 1 cup fill line.
NOTE: If overfilling or spilling occurs, discard the water and press “Back” to restart the calibration process.
4. When 1 cup of water has been correctly dispensed into the measuring cup, press the Measured Fill button under the word “Confirm” to confirm the calibration.
When Measured Fill calibration has been confirmed, the display will return to the home screen.
1. Press Measured Fill to turn on the feature. When the feature is on, the Measured Fill screen appears on the display.
IMPORTANT: Low water pressure may affect the accuracy of this feature.
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. Press Ice Mode 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.

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.
NOTES:

• When increasing or decreasing the volume, the control may stop responding if an adjustment button is held for approximately 10 seconds or longer. Release the button for
  approximately 2 seconds; then continue making adjustments.

• 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 avoidunintentionally overfilling coffee cups.

4. To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser paddle 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.

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 Mode to manually turn it off) and then turn it back on.
TO DISPENSE ICE:
Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the “Ice Mode” button. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch between cubed and crushed, press Ice Mode.
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.

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 dispenser paddle. Hold the glass close to the ice guide to ensure that the ice dispenses into the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the paddle in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.  3. Remove the glass from the dispenser paddle to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” in the Owner’s Manual.
