To directly infringe a method patent claim, a person must have practiced all the steps of the claimed methods.  Hence, if the referenced method, is the full method in that particular claim, you will not infringe it if not all of these steps are carried out.   If another party under your direction or control carries out all the steps of the method, it will be considered direct infringement.  Sometimes "and" can be interpreted as "or" depending on the context of claim construction.  In the method you have quoted, 'attaching the clips to the wire shelf to hold the profile and top surface in position', may be considered essential for the purpose of wire shelf restoration for the method in this single claim, and as such the "and" in the context of this method may not be interpreted as meaning "or".
