Abstract
An adjustable air deflector condensate directing tray and food receptacle shelf support cover for a refrigerator cabinet shelf. The cover includes side flanges, spaced to depend between shelf longitudinal openings, with the flanges having opposed trackways for receiving outwardly flared receptacle top flanges. The tray is releasably retained in the opposed trackways allowing same to initially protrude rearwardly of the removed shelf. Upon the cover and tray being assembled with the shelf and the shelf assembly being installed in the cabinet, tray stop members contact the cabinet rear wall to telescope the tray in the trackways thereby compensating for cabinet liner rear wall out of plane undulations providing a baffle for directing refrigerated air into the receptacle while condensate collected thereon is directed to the cabinet liner rear wall.
