Divider Bins on the Fresh Food Compartment Door

CustomerService

Adjustable bins can easily be carried from refrigerator to work area.

To remove: Lift bin straight up until mounting hooks disengage.

To replace or relocate: Select desired shelf height, engage bin’s hooks in slots on the tracks of the door, and push in. Bin will lock in place.

The divider helps prevent tipping, spilling or sliding of small items stored on the door shelf. Place a finger on either side of the divider near the front and move it back and forth to fit your needs.
