Abstract: A user interface for a consumer appliance, including a method for operating the same, may provide for directing illumination of a first menu icon of the plurality of discrete menu icons at an operational brightness level, and receiving a selection signal corresponding to a second menu icon of the plurality of discrete menu icons during directing illumination of the first menu icon. The second menu icon may be in a relatively-dim state during directing illumination of the first menu icon. Furthermore, the user interface or method may provide for transmitting, based on the second-icon selection signal, an immediate illumination signal directing increased illumination of the second menu icon; and directing, based on the second-icon selection signal, a gradual brightness reduction of the first menu icon from the operational brightness level.

Abstract: A beverage-dispensing appliance may include a cabinet, a liquid line, a liquid level sensor, and a signal shield. The cabinet may define a mutually-orthogonal vertical direction, lateral direction, and transverse direction. The cabinet may define a dispenser recess. The liquid line may be mounted to the cabinet and define a liquid outlet above the dispenser recess. The liquid level sensor may be mounted to the cabinet and directed at the dispenser recess. The signal shield may be movably mounted to the cabinet. The signal shield may be movable between a blocking position and a permissive position. The blocking position may laterally bound at least a portion of the dispenser recess. The permissive position may be transversely spaced apart from the dispenser recess to permit lateral access thereto.
