This design means that the shelves are completely enclosed and liquids can't seep under the glass.
Refrigerator Refrigerator (all units) (all units) Adjustable Humidity Zone™ Drawer(s) Adjustable Cold Zone™ Drawer Your new refrigerator features an Adjustable Cold Zone™ Drawer. Freezer air is contained by gaskets in the air duct above the drawer. This area keeps food 3° to 5°F colder than average refrigerator temperatures.
Freezer Automatic Ice Maker Wire Shelf Adjustment (SxS Models only) The ice maker and slide-out ice drawer on your refrigerator are not adjustable, but the ice drawer slides forward for easy access to ice. You can easily adjust your freezer's shelves. To remove a shelf, simply tilt it up at the front, releasing the hooks from the shelf support. Then, pull the shelf straight out. To replace, guide the rear hooks of the shelf into the slots in the shelf supports.

This feature is useful when cleaning the dispenser or to keep children from dispensing ice and water.
Food Storage Guide Food Storage Guide Storing Fresh Food Packaging Food for Freezing Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moistureproof material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer. For dated products, check use-by date to ensure freshness. The secret of successful freezing is in the packaging; the way you close and seal a package of food must not allow air or moisture in or out, or the quality of the food will deteriorate while frozen.
Cleaning and Maintenance CAUTION To avoid personal injury or property damage, read and follow all cleaning product manufacturer’s directions. WARNING To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, turn power disconnect switch to OFF before cleaning. After cleaning, return power disconnect switch to ON position. Your refrigerator is built to give you many years of dependable service. However, there are a few things you can do to help extend its life.
Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning and Maintenance Glass Shelves Defrost Pan To clean your refrigerator's glass shelves, lift the shelf out by lifting the front and releasing the hooks from the metal track. Then pull the shelf out. Be sure to allow the glass shelves to adjust to room temperature before cleaning. To prevent condensation from overflowing, check defrost pan periodically. To clean crevices, dilute mild detergent with water. Brush this solution into crevices using a plastic bristle brush.

Cleaning and Maintenance Troubleshooting Understanding Sounds You May Hear Power Interruptions If electric service to your refrigerator will be interrupted for 24 hours or less, keep the doors to the freezer closed. This helps food stay frozen. If service will be interrupted longer than 24 hours, remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker, or place two pounds of dry ice inside the freezer for every cubic foot of interior volume. This will keep food frozen for two to four days.
