The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

To Dispense Water (Standard):

1.Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR place the glass below the water dispenser and press the WATER button.

NOTE: While dispensing water and for 5 seconds after dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how much water has been dispensed. The default unit is ounces. To switch to cups or liters, press the UNITS button before dispensing.

2.Remove the glass OR release the button 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. In Custom mode, you can dispense any amount within a specified range. In Water Bottle mode, you can dispense pre-set amounts according to the size of the container.

NOTE: The exact 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.

1.Press MEASURED FILL until the light turns on. Press MEASURED FILL again to turn the feature off.

NOTE: The dispenser will automatically turn off Measured Fill after one minute of inactivity. When Measured Fill is turned off, any changes you have made will be lost and all defaults will be restored.

2.Press CONTAINER to change from Custom mode to Water Bottle mode.

NOTE: Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz). You may need to adjust the volume to avoid unintentionally overfilling coffee cups.

5.To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR place the glass below the water dispenser and press the WATER 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.

6.To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser pad OR press the WATER 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 one minute of inactivity.

To select a new volume or select the same volume again, you must first finish dispensing the selected volume, or turn the Measured Fill feature off and then turn it back on.

Rotating Faucet and Pull-out Tray (on some models)

Your dispenser may include a rotating water faucet and a small pull-out tray at the bottom of the dispenser.

To Dispense Water (Standard):A

To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):B

A. Faucet rotated 180°

B.Pull-out tray

The faucet rotates up to 180° to allow for easy dispensing into large containers. Rotate it by pressing PUSH HERE, located on the right-hand side of the faucet as shown.

NOTE: When using the dispenser with the faucet rotated, do not use the water dispenser pad. Only use the WATER button to dispense. Dispensing by pressing the container against the water dispenser pad may result in unintentional spilling.

The tray can be pulled out approximately 2" (5.08 cm) to better support large containers. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray.

NOTE: The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned. 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.

The 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 freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker & Storage Bin.”

Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the CUBED or CRUSHED button. 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.
