HOW TO USE

Adjusting the Refrigerator
Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable
to meet your individual storage needs. Your
model may have glass or wire shelves.

Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights
of items will make finding the exact item you
want easier. Doing so will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open
which will save energy.

Detaching the Shelf

Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight
up. Pull the shelf out.

Assembling the Shelf

Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the shelf
hooks into the slots at a desired height. Then,
lower the front of the shelf so that the hooks
drop into the slots.

Using the Folding Shelf

You can store taller items, such as a gallon
container or bottles underneath, by simply
pushing the front half of the shelf underneath
the back half of the shelf. Pull the front of the
shelf toward you to return to a full shelf.

CAUTION

Do not clean glass shelves with

y

warm water while they are cold.
Shelves may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or
impact.
Glass shelves are heavy. Use special

y

care when removing them.

CAUTION

Make sure that shelves are level from

one side to the other. Failure to do so

may result in the shelf falling or spilling

food.
