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.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from 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/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it
out of the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.
2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into
the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until the rear
shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.
3. Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that the
shelf is securely in position.

Ingredient Care Center

The control for the Ingredient Care Center adjusts the storage
temperature of the pan. Cold air flows into the pan through the air
duct between the freezer and the refrigerator. Setting the controls
allows more or less cold air through the air duct.
To Adjust the Ingredient Care Center
1. Choose a setting based on the item to be stored in the pan.
2. Push the button that corresponds to that setting.
3. The indicator light for that setting will illuminate to verify that
the pan is ready to be loaded.
