HOW TO USE

Using the Folding Shelf

You can store taller items, such as a gallon container or bot-
tles, 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

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. 

 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. 

Do not clean glass shelves with warm water while 

 

y

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

 

y

removing them.

 NOTE

Shelves may vary in appearance, depending on your 
model.
