WARNING
ELEVATOR™ SHELF
(Select Models)
The fresh food compartment is 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 con-
tents. 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 occa-
sional 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 con-
tinue 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 recom-
mended, 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.
