LOOKING INSIDE Shelves Your refrigerator has either SpillCatcher™ or Tempered Glass 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 lift up the rear of the shelf and 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, being sure the shelf is securely locked at the rear. WARNING ➢ Never attempt to adjust a shelf that is loaded with food (except in the case of the ElevatorTM Shelf). ELEVATOR™ SHELF The fresh food compartment may also be equipped with an Elevator™ Shelf. This shelf has a spill retainer edge for easy cleanup. It also has the convenient slide out feature that allows easy access to items stored at the rear of the 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. 7 To remove the Elevator™ shelf for occasional cleaning, 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 reinstall, 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 with the frame assembly does NOT require removal. Though unlikely, and not recommended, the correct removal procedure is as follows: Unload the shelf completely, raise the shelf to its highest possible position. While supporting the shelf and frame from the front, press both locks inward. Lift slightly and tilt the frame assembly to allow the rear guides to clear the vertical rails. To reinstall, tilt the frame assembly while depressing both locks, reposition the rear guide behind the vertical rails. When the shelf is level, release the locks allowing the shelf to latch in the correct position. ADJUSTABLE FREEZER SHELF (select models) To remove the shelf, lift the left end up about 3 inches; pull the right end bars out of the side wall cups. To replace the shelf, reposition the removable support plugs on the left side wall to the desired level and reverse the removal procedure. EXPANDABLE-WIDTH FREEZER SHELF (select models) The shelf adjusts sideways to open up a full-height space for tall packages, such as pizza. The leg on the right side of the shelf slides to make this adjustment. The shelf can also adjust to two heights. To adjust the shelf height, remove the shelf from the freezer. Slide the leg out of the channels and reinsert the leg in the alternate height position. Return the shelf to the freezer, inserting the left end into the liner cups. TWIN EXPANDABLE FREEZER SHELF (select models) This feature improves freezer storage organization by adding another shelf. To accommodate varying frozen food loads, the height of the shelves can be adjusted. The lower shelf has expandable width capabilities (as described previously) to create an area for taller items. DOOR STORAGE Pick-Off Door Bins (select models) are roomy enough to handle gallon-plus sized containers. They are adjustable and can be easily removed. To remove, lift the bin front up until it clears the retainers on the door liner then pull the bin straight out To replace, reverse the above procedure. Other models are constructed with durable, Fixed Door Shelves with the gallon-plus storage capacity. Some refrigerator and freezer door shelves have Keepers to secure bottles and other containers in place when the door is being opened or closed. The keepers are easily adjusted by sliding from side to side.
