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.

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.
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.
