Fresh Food Features
Shelves
Your refrigerator has either Spill-Catcher™ or non-
sealed Shelves. The Spill-Catcher™ shelves have a
spill retainer edge which allows for easier clean up and
some are equipped with the Easy Glide slide out
feature. To slide out (select models), grasp the front of
the shelf and pull forward. Push in the shelf to return
to the original position.
To Remove a Shelf:
• Slightly tilt up the
front and lift up the
rear of the shelf, then
pull the shelf straight
out.
To Lock the Shelf Into Another Position:
• Tilt up the front edge of the shelf.
• Insert the hooks into the desired frame openings and
let the shelf settle into place.
• Be sure the shelf is securely locked at the rear.
Elevator™ Shelf
The fresh food compartment is equipped with an
Elevator™ shelf.
This shelf can be adjusted up or down without having
to be unloaded of its contents. To adjust an Elevator™
shelf, pull out the knob on the crank handle. Rotate the
crank clockwise to raise the height of the shelf, and
counterclockwise to lower the height of the shelf.
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
• Never attempt to adjust a shelf that is loaded with
food (except in the case of the Elevator™ shelf).
• Confirm shelf is secure before placing items on
shelf.
• Handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves
may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or
exposed to sudden temperature change.
CAUTION
To Remove:
Completely unload the shelf and pull the shelf forward.
When the shelf stops, press up on the tabs located
underneath its outside edges, then continue pulling
forward, clear of the frame.
To Install:
Align the shelf to the frame and push it all the way
back. (There is no need to depress the tabs for
reinstallation).
In ordinary use, the Elevator™ shelf frame assembly
does not require removal. Though unlikely, and not
recommended, the correct removal procedure is as
follows:
To Remove:
• Unload the shelf completely.
• Remove glass shelf by pulling forward. When shelf
stops lift up and continue pulling forward.
• Manually move the two rear latches toward the shelf
center.
• While supporting the entire shelf and frame from
underneath, lift slightly and rotate the assembly
approximately 30° to allow the rear mechanism to
clear the vertical rear side rails.
• The entire assembly can then be moved forward and
clear of the refrigerator compartment.
To Install:
• Reverse the removal procedure. Be sure the shelf is
in a level position.
• When the sliding shelf is pushed to the rear, it will
reposition the rear latches to their correct operating
position.
Note
• Do not raise the shelf to the very top of the
vertical rails, as the shelf may become jammed.
