1. Move food safely out of the cleaning area and consult the model manual about removable shelves.
2. Support heavy glass with both hands; do not force a shelf out of its tracks.

4. Let the shelf approach room temperature, then clean with mild soapy water and a soft cloth.
5. Do not reinstall cracked or chipped glass; arrange replacement according to the manufacturer. Avoid abrasive tools.
6. Rinse as appropriate, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth, and reinstall the shelf securely in its supports.
