Do not put a cold glass refrigerator shelf into hot water: sudden temperature changes can break it. Plan how to keep food cold and check your model's manual before cleaning.

Prepare a soft cloth, mild detergent, water and a cooler; check your model's power-disconnect and shelf-removal instructions.
Transfer food in small batches to suitable cold storage. Follow food-safety rules for perishables left too long at room temperature.
Remove bins and shelves only as your manual permits. Never pour hot water directly onto cold glass shelves.
Hand-wash removable parts with a soft cloth and mild detergent, rinse residues and dry thoroughly.
Gently wipe interior walls and gasket folds, then dry them. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals that are unsuitable for the materials.
Reassemble the shelves, promptly return food to safe refrigeration and check that the door seals and the appliance returns to its normal temperature.
