purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations of the

2. Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf onto the supports on the
side wall.

Crisper Humidity Control
(on some models)

vegetables with skins.

store in crisper.
“+” (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of fresh, leafy
vegetables.

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.
