The Ice Dispenser - KitchenAid KFIS29BBMS Use & Care Manual

REFRIGERATOR USE
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. Make
sure the container is empty and that it can hold the entire volume.
If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.
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 and return to the home screen.
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 under Units.
Default, minimum, and maximum volumes are listed in the
following chart:
Units Default
Ounces
Cups
Liters 0.25
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.
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.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin. To turn off the ice
maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
The dispenser may continue to make noise and ice may continue
to dispense for several seconds after releasing the dispenser
button or paddle.
IMPORTANT: If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular
shape, it could be because of low water pressure. See "Water
Supply Requirements."
To Clean the Ice Dispenser Chute:
Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can
build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.
If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the
ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage
16
bin and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.
If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and
delivery chute, using a plastic utensil.
Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage
bin using a warm, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
