causes a small amount of water
(around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain. Place
a cup under the front end of the water
filter cover to collect any leaking water.
Hold the water filter upright, once it is
removed, to prevent any remaining water
from spilling out of the water filter.

REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet
your individual storage needs. Your model may have glass
or wire shelves.
Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will
make finding the exact item you want easier. Doing so will
also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is
open which will save energy.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water
while they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact.
NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when
removing them.
