Follow these steps to install the new shelf front trim:

1. Prepare the Appliance: Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. Open the refrigerator door to access the shelf where the trim will be installed.
2. Remove the Old Trim (if applicable): If replacing an existing trim, carefully unclip or slide out the old trim piece from the front edge of the shelf. Note how it was attached to assist with new installation.
3. Position the New Trim: Align the new Whirlpool Refrigerator Shelf Front Trim (SEM135051) with the front edge of the designated shelf. Ensure the orientation is correct.
4. Secure the Trim: Gently press or slide the trim into place until it securely clips onto the shelf. Apply even pressure along the length of the trim to ensure it is fully seated.
5. Verify Installation: Once installed, gently tug on the trim to ensure it is firmly attached and does not easily dislodge.
6. Restore Power: Reconnect the refrigerator to the power supply.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your shelf front trim:

• Clean the trim regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, as these can damage the surface.
• Ensure the trim is dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.

7. Troubleshooting

• Trim does not fit: Double-check the model number of your refrigerator against the list of compatible models. Ensure the trim is oriented correctly.
• Trim is loose: Ensure the trim is fully clipped into place along its entire length. If it remains loose, inspect the shelf for any damage that might prevent a secure fit.
