USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

REFRIGERATOR SHELVES

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

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

IMPORTANT:

Do not clean glass shelves with warm water 

while they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to 
sudden temperature changes or impact. 

NOTE:

Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when 

removing them.

Adjusting Shelves (Split Shelf)

Remove shelves from the shipping position and replace 
shelves in the position you want.

To remove a shelf

—Tilt up the front of the shelf 

1

 

and lift it 

2

. Pull the shelf out.

 CAUTION:

•  Make sure that shelves are level from one side to the 

other. 

•  Make sure that the shelf stopper is completely inserted 

between the wall ribs. 

•  Make sure that hooks are inserted in the correct 

position. (Left shelf to left hole, right shelf to right hole 
only.) 
Failure to do so may result in the shelf falling or 
spilling food.

To reinstall a shelf

—Tilt the front of the shelf 

up and guide the shelf hooks into the slots at a 
desired height  3 . Then, lower the front of the 
shelf so that the hooks drop into the slots  4 .

HUMIDITY CONTROLLED CRISPER

The crispers provide fresher tasting fruit and vegetables by

letting you easily control humidity inside the drawer.

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisturesealed

crispers by adjusting the control to any setting

between 

VEGETABLE

 and

.

•

 keeps moist air in the crisper for best

  storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

•
