2. Slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. DO 

NOT DISCARD THE CAP. With the cartridge cap in the 
vertical position, insert the cap into the base grille until it 
stops. 

3. Rotate the cartridge cap to a horizontal position. The 

cartridge cap might not be even with the base grille.

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your 
individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and 
adjusting the shelves 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 save energy. 

1. Remove the shelf/frame by tilting it up at the front and lifting it 

out of the shelf supports. Pull 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. 

The meat drawer can be located in any set of ladder slots in the 
refrigerator compartment. 

NOTE: For temperature-controlled use the meat drawer must be 
located in the second to last (bottom) set of ladder slots.

While in the temperature-controlled position, the temperature in 
the Meat Drawer can be set to meet the National Livestock and 
Meat Board recommended storage temperature range of 
28°- 32°F (-2°- 0°C) for fresh meats.

IMPORTANT: If the meat drawer is placed in any location other 
than that for temperature-controlled use, the air supply hole must 
be sealed. Use the plug taped to the inside bottom of the meat 
drawer to seal the air supply hole.

The rubber air connector (located on the back of meat drawer) 
directs air from the air supply hole into the meat drawer. If the air 
connector comes off, replace it by pushing it into the square 
opening on back of the drawer.

1. Slide the meat drawer straight out to the stop. Lift the front of 

the drawer with one hand while supporting the bottom of the 
drawer with the other hand. Slide the drawer out the rest of 
the way. 

2. Replace the meat drawer by sliding it back in fully past the 

drawer stop. 

1. Remove the meat drawer cover by tilting it up at the front and 

lifting it out of the shelf supports.

2. Replace the meat drawer cover by guiding the rear hooks into 

the shelf supports. Tilt the front of the cover up until the rear 
shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.

3. Lower the front of the cover and check to make sure that the 

it is securely in position. 

The meat drawer control adjusts the storage temperature of the 
meat drawer. Cold air flows into the meat drawer through the air 
duct between the freezer and the refrigerator. Setting the controls 
allows more or less cold air through the air duct. 

■

If a colder temperature is needed, turn the control to the right 
towards the “COLDER” setting.

■

If a less cold temperature is needed, turn the control towards 
the left towards the “COLD” setting. Turning the control to the 
left, all the way to the “COLD” setting, will shut off the air duct 
completely.

IMPORTANT: If a food item freezes in the meat, utility, or crisper 
drawer or the water dispenser stops working, turn the meat 
drawer temperature control to COLD. If the water dispenser 
stops working, water in the line may have frozen. 

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 re-
moving them to avoid impact from dropping.
