REFRIGERATOR FEATURES 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. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping. 2. To replace the deli/crisper drawer, pull out the drawer slides until they are fully extended and set the drawer on the slides. Push the drawer in toward the back until it is in closed position. 3. Reopen the deli/crisper drawer to make sure it has been replaced properly. Wine Rack To remove and replace the wine rack: 1. Remove the rack by pulling it straight out from the shelf. 2. Replace the rack by sliding it in between the shelf and the wall of the refrigerator. The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match 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 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 that the shelf is in position. FREEZER FEATURES Freezer Drawer and Pull-out Ice Bin The freezer drawer can be used to store smaller items. The freezer drawer is not removable. To remove and replace the ice bin: 1. Slide the ice bin out of the freezer, and then lift up and out.

Reopen the ice bin to make sure it has been replaced properly. Frozen Food Storage Guide Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot [9071,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be sure to leave enough room for the door to close tightly. For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
