Drawer Removal

Drawers at bottom of fresh food compartment will stop
before coming all the way out of refrigerator to help
prevent contents from spilling onto floor. Drawers can
easily be removed by grasping the sides and lifting up
slightly while pulling past "stop" location.
To remove drawers when the refrigerator door
cannot be opened all the way:
1.
Remove food from shelf above sealed vegetable
drawer and take out shelf. Take food off the glass
cover and out of the drawer.
2. Remove the flexible
gasket at the rear of the ~~~pofl M:'
vegetable drawer. Lift
each end straight up
until the slots on the
gasket are free of
drawer support tabs.
3. Pull the drawer partway out. Reach in, push the rear
of the glass up and, at the same time, push it back
until it clears front-corner retainers.
4. Tilt and remove the cover. Avoid cleaning the cold
glass cover with hot water because the extreme
temperature difference may cause it to break.
5. Pull the drawer forward, lift the front to clear stops,
and remove the drawer. If the refrigerator door
doesn't open completely, pull the drawer out until it
hits the door. Then lift the drawer up until it is higher
than the drawer supports, tilt it and take it out.
