front 

edge 

up 

and 

pull 

out. 

Replace

this 

procedure.

To 

adjust 

cantilever 

shelves 

(shelves 

supported 

at 

the 

rear 

of

the 

refrigerator), 

lift 

the 

back 

of 

the 

shelf 

up 

and 

out. 

Replace

shelf

bracket. 

Lower

shelf 

by 

lifting 

hooks 

up 

and 

out 

of 

rear 

wall 

bracket. 

Then

flex 

plastic 

clip 

towards 

center 

of 

refrigerator 

and 

pull 

shelf

straight 

out. 

Replace 

shelf 

by 

sliding 

plastic 

clip 

past 

side

wall 

support. 

 

Then 

lock 

hooks 

at 

rear 

into 

wall 

bracket.

Note: 

 

Plastic 

clip 

will 

automatically 

fit 

secure 

against 

side

wall.

Spillsafe

™

 

glass 

shelves 

(some 

models) 

catch 

and 

hold 

accidental 

spills. 

In 

some

models, 

the 

Spillsafe

™

 

shelves 

slide 

out 

for 

easy 

access 

to 

food 

and 

fast 

cleaning.

The 

shelves 

slide 

out 

independently 

of 

the 

cantilever 

brackets. 

Just 

pull 

front 

of 

shelf

forward. 

Shelf 

can 

be 

extended 

as 

far 

as 

stopper 

will 

allow 

and 

is 

not 

removable 

from

the 

cantilever 

bracket.

Door Storage

Door 

bins 

and 

shelves 

are 

provided 

for 

convenient 

storage 

of 

jars, 

bottles, 

and 

cans.

Items 

used 

often 

are 

available 

for 

quick 

selection.

Some models have adjustable door bins which can be moved to suit individual

needs. 

To 

move 

the 

bins, 

remove 

by 

lifting 

straight 

up. 

Place 

the 

bin 

in 

the 

desired

position 

and 

lower 

over 

supports.

The 

Dairy 

compartment 

is 

warmer 

than 

the 

general 

food 

storage 

section 

and 

is

intended 

for 

short 

term 

storage 

of 

cheese, 

spreads, 

or 

butter.

Crispers

The 

Crispers, 

located 

under 

the 

bottom 

refrigerator 

shelf, 

are 

designed 

for 

storing

fruits, 

vegetables, 

and 

other 

fresh 

produce. 

Wash 

items 

in 

clear 

water 

and 

remove

excess 

water 

before 

placing 

in 

the 

Crispers. 

Items 

with 

strong 

odors 

or 

high 

moisture

should 

be 

wrapped 

before 

storing. 

In 

some 

models, 

the 

Crispers 

are 

drawers, 

in

others, 

they 

are 

tilt-out 

bins.

The 

Humidity 

Control 

(some 

models 

with 

Crisper 

drawers) 

allows 

you 

to 

adjust 

the

humidity 

within 

the 

Crisper. 

This 

can 

extend 

the 

life 

of 

fresh 

vegetables 

which 

keep

best 

in 

high 

humidity. 

Leafy 

vegetables, 

however, 

keep 

best 

when 

stored 

with 

the

Humidity 

Control 

set 

on 

HIGH, 

or 

in 

drawer 

without 

Humidity 

Control. 

This 

keeps

incoming 

air 

to 

minimum 

and 

maintains 

maximum 

moisture 

content.

Deli Drawer 

(some models)

Some models are equipped with a Deli Drawer for storage of luncheon meats,

spreads, 

cheeses, 

and 

other 

deli 

items.

Meat Pan 

(some models)

Some models are equipped with a Meat Pan that can be positioned below any

refrigerator 

shelf. 

Use 

this 

pan 

for 

short 

term 

storage 

of 

bulk 

meat 

items. 

If 

meats

are 

to 

be 

kept 

longer 

than 

or 

days, 

they 

should 

be 

frozen.
