GE 16 User Manual

Shelf supports at various levels allow you to custom-space your shelves. Not all features are on all models.

Some models have a steel wire sliding shelf, a

stationary tempered glass shelf, 

a spillproof  shelf  or two steel wire stationary

shelves. These shelves can be moved to

another place in the fresh food

compartment.
The full-width sliding shelf  has stop-locks.

When placed correctly on the shelf  supports,

the shelf  will stop before coming completely

out of  the refrigerator and will not tilt when

you place food on it or remove food from it.

One end of  the shelf  rests on a molded side-

wall support; a bracket on the other end hooks

into a track on the rear cabinet wall.
To remove, 

lift the shelf  up at front, then off

the support and out of  the track.
To replace, 

select desired shelf  height. With

shelf  front raised slightly, hook the bracket’s top

lug into the track, then lower the shelf  onto the

support.

The shelf to the right of the track is designed

to hook into the right-hand slot; the shelf to the left

is designed to hook into the left-hand slot.
