Fresh Food Features

Shelves

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

•Never attempt to adjust a shelf that is loaded with food (except in the case of the Elevator™ shelf).

•Confirm shelf is secure before placing items on shelf.

•Handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.

Your refrigerator has either Spill-Catcher™ or non- sealed Shelves. The Spill-Catcher™ shelves have a spill retainer edge which allows for easier clean up and some are equipped with the Easy Glide slide out feature. To slide out (select models), grasp the front of the shelf and pull forward. Push in the shelf to return to the original position.

To Remove a Shelf:

• Slightly tilt up the front and lift up the rear of the shelf, then pull the shelf straight out.

To Lock the Shelf Into Another Position:

•Tilt up the front edge of the shelf.

•Insert the hooks into the desired frame openings and let the shelf settle into place.

•Be sure the shelf is securely locked at the rear.

Elevator™ Shelf (select models)

The fresh food compartment is equipped with an Elevator™ shelf.

This shelf can be adjusted up or down without having to be unloaded of its contents. To adjust an Elevator™ shelf, pull out the knob on the crank handle. Rotate the crank clockwise to raise the height of the shelf, and counterclockwise to lower the height of the shelf.

Note

•Do not raise the shelf to the very top of the vertical rails, as the shelf may become jammed.

To Remove:

Completely unload the shelf and pull the shelf forward. When the shelf stops, press up on the tabs located underneath its outside edges, then continue pulling forward, clear of the frame.

To Install:

Align the shelf to the frame and push it all the way back. (There is no need to depress the tabs for reinstallation).

In ordinary use, the Elevator™ shelf frame assembly does not require removal. Though unlikely, and not recommended, the correct removal procedure is as follows:

To Remove:

•Unload the shelf completely.

•Remove glass shelf by pulling forward. When shelf stops lift up and continue pulling forward.

•Manually move the two rear latches toward the shelf center.

•While supporting the entire shelf and frame from underneath, lift slightly and rotate the assembly approximately 30° to allow the rear mechanism to clear the vertical rear side rails.

•The entire assembly can then be moved forward and clear of the refrigerator compartment.

To Install:

•Reverse the removal procedure. Be sure the shelf is in a level position.

•When the sliding shelf is pushed to the rear, it will reposition the rear latches to their correct operating position.
