Refrigerator Shelves
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjusta ble 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. For your
protection tempered glass is designed t o shatter in to many
small pebble-size pieces. This is normal.
NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
