  3. If there still is no water, wait 10 seconds, then press the Water button again.
    • Once the water tank is full, the unit begins dispensing.

  1. Press a water glass against the dispenser until water begins to flow.
    • The dispenser locks out if the dispenser is held for more than 60 seconds.
