Interior Water Filtration System

(on some models)

The interior water filter cartridge is located in the upper right- hand corner of the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator. The interior water filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

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.

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

Replacing the interior water filter cartridge

1.Twist the interior water filter cartridge ¹⁄₄ turn to the left. The INSTALL mark will be lined up with the indicator mark located on the filter mounting bracket cover.

2.Gently pull down on the cartridge to remove it from the filter mounting bracket assembly. To prevent water from spilling inside the refrigerator, DO NOT TIP the cartridge.

3.Dispose of the cartridge.

4.To install a new cartridge, refer to “Installing the interior water filter cartridge” section in this Use and Care guide.

NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your water will not be filtered.

Refrigerator Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. Your model may have glass or wire shelves.

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 save energy.

IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when they are cold. Shelves 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.

NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Slide-out Shelves (on some models)

■To slide out shelf, carefully pull front of shelf toward you.

■To slide in shelf, push shelf in until it stops.

To remove and replace a shelf in a metal frame:

1.Pull the shelf forward to the stop.

2.Tilt the front of the shelf up and lift it slightly as you pull the shelf from the frame.

3.Replace the shelf by guiding it back into the slots on the frame and pushing the shelf in past the stop.

Lateral Adjustable Shelf

(onsomemodels)

To slide the shelf from side to side:

1.Lift up on the front of shelf and slide to the desired location.

2.Lower shelf to the level position.

NOTE: You do not have to remove small items from the shelf before moving it from side to side. You may need to remove larger items.

To remove the shelf:

NOTE: The shelf is heavy and must be removed using both hands.

1.Hold the back of the shelf with one hand.

2.Lift the front of the shelf with the other hand to a 45° angle and lower it slightly to release it from the upper channel of the track. Pull the shelf straight out.

To remove and replace the shelf track:

1.Remove the shelf track by lifting both sides of the track slightly and pulling the track straight out.

2.Replace the track by guiding the track hooks into the shelf support slots on the back wall.

NOTE: Make sure that both sets of track hooks are in the slots and that the slots are parallel with each other.

3.Push the track back and down securely into the shelf supports.

To replace the shelf:

NOTE: Make sure that both of the rear shelf slides are securely in the track before letting go of the shelf. The lateral shelf may be difficult to install if the track is placed too close to the refrigerator ceiling. Reposition the track on a lower rung until the shelf can be tilted enough to easily slide into the track.

1.Hold the shelf at the front and tip the front at a 45° angle to the track.

2.Insert both of the rear shelf slides into the upper channel of the track, and lower the front of the shelf into place.
