Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
When the refrigerator is installed, or after 
replacing the water filter, I must dispense 
water for five minutes.
758(
A newly installed refrigerator or water filter contains air in the water 
lines. Press the dispenser paddle and dispense cold water for at least 
5 minutes to remove air from the water line, and flush the filter.
To fill the ice bucket to the maximum 
capacity, I should dispense 12 and 18 hours 
after installation.
758( Dispensing 3-4 cubes 12 hours and 18 hours after installation, allows 
ice to disperse within the ice bucket, which in turns calls on the ice 
maker to produce additional ice. Normal ice production = 100 cubes 
in 24 hours.
I can use the water filter bypass plug to 
determine if the filter requires replacement.
758( Decrease in flow from the water dispenser, or decreased ice 
production, may indicate the need to replace the water filter. Install 
the water filter bypass plug (provided with the refrigerator on some 
models*), and check flow from the dispenser. If water flow returns to 
normal with the bypass plug in place, replace the water filter.
The top of the refrigerator doors will always 
be aligned.
MYTH Several things can affect the fresh food door alignment, including the 
floor the refrigerator is installed on and loading of doors. If the top

access the screw. 
Refrigerator door handles can be easily 
tightened.

handles.
There may be odor and taste problems with 
your ice.
758( After starting the ice maker throw away 24 hours of ice production to 
avoid odor and taste problems.
I can make fine adjustments to the fresh food 
doors to align them.

adjust the right hand door. The adjustment screw is located on the 
bottom of the right/left door. Open the freezer door to access. 
Door handles should always be removed for 
installation.
MYTH Check chart on reverse side of this instruction. If the doors must be 
removed do not remove the handles, or if the refrigerator will fit easily 
through the passage way opening. Adjust handles that are loose or

Door removal is always required for 
installation.
MYTH Check chart on reverse side of this instruction. Doors should only be 
removed when necessary to prevent damage from passage way or 
access to final location. 
Refrigerator doors that won’t close after 
installation, can be adjusted to close properly.
758( Door mechanism works best if installed at 90°+. If installed at 180°, 
remove the door from the mid hinge, and swing the door 180° before 
reinstalling. See Reinstalling the Refrigerator Doors.
There is an adjustment to rear wheels. MYTH Front leveling legs are adjustable and should be used to balance the 
refrigerator. Leveling legs are used to make initial fresh food door 
adjustment.
Check for leaks after all water connections 
are made.
758( While purging the air from the water system, check all water line 
connections for leaks. Check the connection to the household water 
supply at back of refrigerator, and door water line connect.
My LCD display will always be on when I 
plug the power cord in at installation.
MYTH If the refrigerator has been stored in a cold environment, the LCD 
may be slow to give a proper display. Give the refrigerator enough 
time to warm up, and the display should be okay.
Any packaging residue can be cleaned off 
the refrigerator using any cleaner.
MYTH Do not use wax, polish, bleach, or other products containing chlorine 
on Stainless Steel panels, door handles and trim. Check this
