REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Refrigerator Shelves

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and help save energy.

Shelves and Shelf Frames

To remove and replace a shelf/frame:

1.Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it out of the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.

2.Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until the rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.

3.Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that the shelf is securely in position.

Ingredient Care Center

The control for the Ingredient Care Center adjusts the storage temperature of the pan. Cold air flows into the pan through the air duct between the freezer and the refrigerator. Setting the controls allows more or less cold air through the air duct.

Remove and Replace the Ingredient Care Center Cover

1.Remove food from Ingredient Care Center cover. Pull drawer out about 4" (10.16 cm). Reach under the glass shelf with both hands and lift gently upward until back of shelf is free. Tilt the shelf at an angle and remove the shelf from the refrigerator. Be sure not to bump the glass.

2.Replace the cover by holding the glass shelf firmly with both hands, tilt the shelf at an angle and position it above the support rails. Place shelf gently on support rails on side wall.
