REFRIGERATOR FEATURES
Refrigerator Shelves
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.
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your
individual storage needs.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make
finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open and help save
energy.
Shelves and Shelf Frames
To remove and replace a shelf/frame:
1.
Remove the shelf by tilting it up at the front and lifting it out of
the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.
2.
Reposition the shelf supports in the desired location. Check
that they are level and firmly inserted in the support rails.
