- Identify Mounting Slots: Locate the designated mounting slots or rails on the inside of your refrigerator door where the shelf bin will be installed. These are typically molded into the door liner.

- Secure the Shelf Bin: Gently push the shelf bin downwards until it clicks securely into place. Ensure that it is firmly seated and does not wobble. Test its stability by gently pulling on it.
- Restore Power: Once the shelf bin is securely installed, plug the refrigerator back into the electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions

- Weight Limit: Avoid overloading the shelf bin. Excessive weight can cause the bin to crack or detach. Distribute items evenly.
- Placement: Place items carefully to prevent them from falling out when the door is opened or closed.
- Temperature: The shelf bin is designed for refrigerated temperatures. Do not use it for items requiring freezing or extreme heat.
Maintenance and Cleaning

- Cleaning Frequency: Clean the shelf bin as needed, or at least once a month, to prevent food residue buildup.
- Cleaning Method: Remove the shelf bin from the refrigerator door by lifting it upwards. Wash it with warm water and a mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic.
- Drying: Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth before reinstalling it in the refrigerator door.
