REFRIGERATOR FEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
(number of shelves varies by model)
Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different
heights. This reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and
saves energy.
To Remove and Replace a Shelf:
1.
Lift the back of the shelf to remove from the ribs. Pull the shelf
forward until it is released.
2.
Replace the shelf by aligning the shelf with the ribs. Slide the
shelf onto the shelf supports. Be sure that the shelf is securely
in position.
DELI DRAWER
(on some models)
The deli drawer stores raisins, nuts, spreads, and other small items
at normal refrigerator temperatures.
To Remove and Replace the Deli Drawer:
1.
Remove the deli drawer by sliding it straight out to the stop. Lift
the front and out of the ribs. Tilt the drawer sideways to remove
it from the refrigerator compartment.
2.
Replace the deli drawer by sliding it back past the stop and
pushing it into place.

CRISPER AND COVERS
(on some models)

front of drawer with one hand while supporting the bottom of
drawer with the other hand and slide the drawer out the rest of
the way.

CRISPER HUMIDITY CONTROL
(on some models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between Fruit (left side)
and Vegetables (right side).
Fruit (left side, open) lets moist air out of the crisper for best
storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.

or crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready
to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper,
or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator
shelf.

container and store in crisper.

tear off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag
or plastic container and store in crisper.
