REMEMBER:

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the 
first three batches of ice produced.

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of 
the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the 
ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener 
chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker 
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot 
be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating 
properly and is well maintained.

Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice 
storage bin.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that 
can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled 
with the word “Accessory.” Not all accessories will fit all models. 
If you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories, please 
call the toll-free number on the cover or in the “Assistance or 
Service” section.

Refrigerator Shelves

Your model may have glass or wire shelves. Store similar foods 
together and adjust the shelves to fit different heights. This 
reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and saves energy.

Slide-out Shelves (on some models)

To remove and replace a shelf in a metal frame:

1.

Pull the shelf forward to the stop. Tilt the front of the shelf up 
and lift it slightly as you pull the shelf from the frame.

2.

Replace the shelf by guiding it back into the slots on the 
frame and pushing the shelf in past the stop.

Shelves and Shelf Frames

To remove and replace a shelf/frame:

1.

Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it 
out of the shelf supports.

2.

Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into 
the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf 
hooks drop into the shelf supports. Check to make sure that 
the shelf is securely in position.

Lateral Adjustable Shelf

(on some models)

To slide the shelf from side to side, lift up on the front of shelf and 
slide to the desired location. Lower shelf to the level position.

NOTE: 

You do not have to remove small items from the shelf 

before moving it from side to side. You may need to remove larger 
items. 

To remove the shelf:

NOTE:

 The shelf is heavy and must be removed using both 

hands.

1.

Hold the back of the shelf with one hand.

2.

Lift the front of the shelf with the other hand to a 45° angle 
and lower it slightly to release it from the upper channel of the 
track. Pull the shelf straight out.

To remove and replace the shelf track:

1.

Remove the shelf track by lifting both sides of the track 
slightly and pulling the track straight out.

2.

Replace the track by guiding the track hooks into the shelf 
support slots on the back wall.

NOTE: 

Make sure that both sets of track hooks are in the 

slots and that the slots are parallel with each other.

3.

Push the track back and down securely into the shelf 
supports.

To replace the shelf:

NOTE:

 Make sure that both of the rear shelf slides are securely in 

the track before letting go of the shelf. The lateral shelf may be 
difficult to install if the track is placed too close to the refrigerator 
ceiling. Reposition the track on a lower rung until the shelf can be 
tilted enough to easily slide into the track.

1.

Hold the shelf at the front and tip the front at a 45° angle to 
the track.

2.

Insert both of the rear shelf slides into the upper channel of 
the track, and lower the front of the shelf into place.

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. 
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter 
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass 
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when re-
moving them to avoid impact from dropping.
