    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 recalibrate Measured  Fill to underfill or to avoid unintentionally overfilling coffee cups.

TO DISPENSE ICETouch Cubed Ice or Crushed Ice for your nice selection.IMPORTANT:

  • If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it could be because of low water pressure. See the “Water Supply Requirements” section in the Owner’s Manual.
