2. Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports. Check to make sure that the shelf is securely in position.

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained. Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

Lateral Adjustable Shelf
To slide the shelf from side to side, lift up on the front of shelf and slide to the desired location. Lower shelf to the level position. NOTE: You do not have to remove small items from the shelf before moving it from side to side. You may need to remove larger items.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

(on some models)

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. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

To remove the shelf:
NOTE: The shelf is heavy and must be removed using both hands. 1. Hold the back of the shelf with one hand. 2. Lift the front of the shelf with the other hand to a 45° angle and lower it slightly to release it from the upper channel of the track. Pull the shelf straight out.

Refrigerator Shelves
Your model may have glass or wire shelves. Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different heights. This reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and saves energy.

Slide-out Shelves (on some models) To remove and replace a shelf in a metal frame:
1. Pull the shelf forward to the stop. Tilt the front of the shelf up and lift it slightly as you pull the shelf from the frame. 2. Replace the shelf by guiding it back into the slots on the frame and pushing the shelf in past the stop.

To remove and replace the shelf track:
1. Remove the shelf track by lifting both sides of the track slightly and pulling the track straight out. 2. Replace the track by guiding the track hooks into the shelf support slots on the back wall. NOTE: Make sure that both sets of track hooks are in the slots and that the slots are parallel with each other. 3. Push the track back and down securely into the shelf supports.

To replace the shelf: 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. NOTE: Make sure that both of the rear shelf slides are securely in the track before letting go of the shelf. The lateral shelf may be difficult to install if the track is placed too close to the refrigerator ceiling. Reposition the track on a lower rung until the shelf can be tilted enough to easily slide into the track. 1. Hold the shelf at the front and tip the front at a 45° angle to the track. 2. Insert both of the rear shelf slides into the upper channel of the track, and lower the front of the shelf into place.
