Note:

  • Always use caution when working with glass. It can break easily and/or cause injury.
  • If the retainer clips are damaged they cannot be replaced individually. Then entire shelf will have to be replaced as they are part of the assembly.
  •  Avoid using hot water to clean the glass while it is still cold, as the glass may crack.

Removing the Glass Shelf

1 Remove both fruit and vegetable drawers. To remove the drawers, angle them slightly toward the center of the fridge as you slide them out.
2 Next, Locate the tabs on both sides of drawer divider/water filter housing.
3 Press in on the tabs and separate the shelf from the water filter housing.
4 Now, remove the shelf by slightly lifting up as you pull it out.

TIP: It helps if you angle one side of the shelf downward as you pull it out of the fridge.

5 Locate the shelf glass retainer clips. The retainer clips are located on the back left and right corners where the glass meets the white plastic.
6 After carefully turning the shelf over, and placing it on a clean flat surface, locate the tabs that hold the retainer clips in place.
7 Lift each of the back corners (one at a time) of the shelf and gently push in on the tab that is holding the clip in place.

NOTE: Only push in on the side of the tab that is closest to the center of the shelf.

8 Once both clips are removed, gently raise the shelf and then separate the glass from the shelf frame.
9 Clean the glass panes with water and a mild detergent or glass cleaner and wipe dry with a clean lint-free cloth.
10 To reinstall the glass shelf, repeat the previous steps in reverse.

IMPORTANT:

If the clips are broken, the shelf can still be used. However, extra care must be taken when moving the shelf to prevent dropping the glass.
