Refrigerator Storage
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.
The shelves and compartments in your refrigerator are adjustable
and/or removable to meet your individual storage needs.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves compartments 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 help
save energy.
Shelves and Shelf Frames
To remove and replace a shelf/frame:
1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it
out of the shelf supports. Pull the shelf straight out.
2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into
the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until the rear
shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.
3. Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that the
shelf is securely in position.
Ingredient Care Center
The control for the ingredient care center (for compartment
location, see illustration at right) adjusts the storage temperature
of the ingredient care center pan. Cold air flows into the pan
through the air duct between the freezer and the refrigerator.
Setting the controls allows more or less cold air through the air
duct.
To Adjust the Ingredient
Care Center:
1. Choose a setting based on the
item to be stored in the pan.
2. Push the button that
corresponds to that setting.
3. The indicator light for that
setting will illuminate to verify
that the pan is ready to be
loaded.

Remove and Replace the Ingredient Care Center Cover:
1. Remove food from the ingredient care center cover. Pull the

with both hands and lift it gently upward until the back of the
shelf is free. Tilt the shelf at an angle and remove it from the
refrigerator, being careful not to bump the glass.
2. Replace the cover by holding the glass shelf firmly with both
hands, tilt the shelf at an angle and position it above the
support rails. Place the shelf gently on support rails on the
side wall.
