OPTIONAL FEATURES
Shelf Adjustment
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit 
individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, 
remove all food.
To adjust shelves:
 1.  Remove shelf by raising the back of the 
shelf out of side rail, then continue to 
remove shelf by pulling forward.
 2.  To replace shelf, rest side edges on any 
pair of shelf rails and carefully push shelf 
back into position and engage in the side 
rail stop.
CAUTION
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.

Door storage
Door bins, shelves, and racks are provided for 
convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans. 
Frequently used items can be quickly selected.
The dairy compartment, which is warmer than 
the general food storage section, is intended for 
short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.
Defrosting Your Refrigerator 
(some models)
 1.  To defrost the refrigerator, remove all food 
and objects from the refrigerator. 
 2.  Ensure the drip pan is in place under the 
freezer compartment. 
 3.  Unplug the unit and ensure the cord is in 
a safe, dry location. 
 4.  The defrost process may take a few hours. 
To speed up the defrost time, keep the 
door open and place a bowl of warm 
water in the refrigerator. Never use sharp 
objects to remove the frost.
 5.  During the defrost cycle, water will 
accumulate in the drip tray. The drip 
tray may need to be emptied during the 
defrost cycle. Do not leave unattended.
 6.  After defrosting is complete, empty and 
wipe down the drip tray as well as the 
interior of the refrigerator. 
  7.  Reset the refrigerator to the desired 
temperature and put all food and objects 
back into the refrigerator.
Automatic Freezer Control (some 
models)
The Freeze Control feature will maintain proper 
interior refrigerator temperature even when 
the refrigerator is placed in an area where the 
surrounding temperature drops down to 10°F 
(-12°C).
Interior Light (some models)
The light comes on automatically when the 
door is opened. To replace the light bulb, turn 
the temperature control to OFF and unplug 
the electrical cord. Replace the old bulb with a 
bulb of the same wattage.
Crisper (some models)
The crisper, located under the bottom 
refrigerator shelf, is designed for storing fruits, 
vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash 
items in clear water and remove excess water 
before placing them in the crisper. Items with 
strong odors or high moisture content should 
be wrapped before storing.
