FEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that
can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled
with the word "Accessory." Not all accessories will fit all models.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your
individual storage needs. Your model may have glass or wire
shelves.
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 save energy.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden
temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your
protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small
pebble-size pieces. This is normal.
NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing
them to avoid impact from dropping.
