Shelf supports at various levels allow you to custom-space your shelves. Not all features are on all models.

Full-Width Shelves

Some models have a stationary tempered

glass shelf, a spillproof shelf, or two steel

wire stationary shelves. These shelves can

be moved to another place in the fresh

food compartment.

When placed correctly on the shelf

supports, the shelf will stop before coming

completely out of the refrigerator and will

not tilt when you place food on it or remove

food from it.

Half-Width Shelves

One end of the shelf rests on a molded side-

wall support; a bracket on the other end

hooks into a track on the rear cabinet wall.

To remove, lift the shelf up at front, then off

the support and out of the track.

To replace, select desired shelf height. With

shelf front raised slightly, hook the bracket’s

top lug into the track, then lower the shelf

onto the support.

NOTE: The shelf to the right of the track is

designed to hook into the right-hand slot; the

shelf to the left is designed to hook into the

left-hand slot.
