Looking Inside
Fresh Food Compartment
Shelves
Full Width Shelves: Some models have full width
shelves that rest on linear support rails. To remove: pull
the shelf forward until it stops, lift the front and pull the
shelf straight out. To reinstall, reverse this procedure.
Adjustable Shelves: Cantilever shelves may be
available with your refrigerator. To remove a shelf,
slightly lift up the rear of the shelf and pull 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,
making sure the shelf is securely locked at the rear. On
certain models the outside edge of the shelf rests on
rails formed into the side of the refrigerator cabinet.
WARNING —
Never attempt to adjust a shelf that is loaded with food (except in the case of the
Elevator™ Shelf).
Elevator
Shelf (select models)
The fresh food compartment may 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 being
unloaded.
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 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).
shelf style may vary
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 and 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. The
entire assembly can then be moved forward and clear
of the refrigerator compartment. 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 into
the correct position.
