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. Shelves and Shelf Frames 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 save energy. To remove and replace a shelf/shelf frame: 1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it out of the shelf supports. 2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports. 3. Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the shelf is in position. Shelves with under-shelf lighting (on some models): ■ The hooks on the rear of the shelf must be fully engaged in the shelf supports to maintain proper electrical flow. ■ No more than two shelves with under-shelf lighting may be used in the refrigerator at one time. Tuck Away Shelf (on some models) To retract and extend the front section of the shelf: 1. To retract the front-section of the shelf, slightly lift up on the front edge and push the adjustable portion of the shelf back toward the rear of the refrigerator. 2. Extend the front of the shelf by pulling the retracted portion of the shelf outward until it is fully extended. Crisper Drawers To remove and replace the drawers: 1. Grasp the handle at the bottom of the drawer and slide the drawer straight out to the stop. Lift the drawer off the bottom guide. 2. Replace the drawer by placing it on the bottom drawer guide and pushing it past the drawer stop into position. To remove the crisper(s) cover: 1. Remove crisper drawers. 2. Holding the glass insert firmly with one hand, press up in center of glass insert until it rises above the plastic frame. Gently slide the glass insert forward to remove. 3. Lift the cover frame up and remove it. To replace crisper(s) cover: 1. Fit back of cover frame into supports on side walls of the refrigerator and lower the front of the cover frame into place. 2. Slide rear of glass insert into cover frame and lower front into place. 3. Replace crisper drawers. Refrigerator Door Bins The bins on your refrigerator door are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. NOTE: The smallest door bin must be installed in the lowest position on the refrigerator door. Water and Ice Dispensers IMPORTANT: ■ Allow 3 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. ■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. ■ The dispensing system will not operate when either the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is open. Flush the Water System Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Flushing the water dispensing system, forces air from the water line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. NOTE: As air is cleared from the system water may spurt out of the dispenser. 1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. 2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until water begins to flow. 3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. Calibrate Measured Fill Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the Measured Fill feature. So, for optimum performance of your water dispenser, you must first calibrate Measured Fill. IMPORTANT: ■ Flush the water system before calibrating Measured Fill. ■ For best results, calibration should be performed when water is not being used in the house. 1. Place a sturdy measuring cup (1 cup [237 mL] size) on the dispenser tray centered in front of the water dispenser paddle. 23
