The Monogram refrigerator was designed to provide the flexibility to blend in with your kitchen
cabinetry. Decorative door insert panels allow it to match your kitchen cabinets or blend with your
kitchen decor.
Since the Monogram refrigerator is a built-in product, custom panels are required on the front of the
Monogram refrigerator. Consult your kitchen designer or cabinetmaker for your customized look.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
When using
this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose DVGHVFULEHGLQWKLV2ZQHU·V0DQXDO
• This refrigerator must be properly
installed in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
• Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or
wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
• In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,
avoid contact with moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element
located on the bottom of the icemaker. Do
not place fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in.
• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas:
clearances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be
careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning
and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
VHWWKH0DVWHU/LJKWVZLWFKLQWKH2))SRVLWLRQ
to turn off the lights in order to avoid contact
with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light
bulb may break when being replaced.)

light circuit.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous…even if they
will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting
rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator
or Freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
REFRIGERANTS
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of
an old refrigeration product, check with the
company handling the disposal about what
to do.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord. For personal safety, this appliance
must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Use of a GFI (Ground Fault Interruptor) is not
recommended for the refrigerator outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT
THE REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH
THIS APPLIANCE.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords
that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
Refer to the Installation Instructions for
particular electrical system specifications for this
refrigerator.

Cartridge
Holder
To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts
during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every
6 months at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE-branded filters only. Using
GE-branded filters in GE and Hotpoint
®
refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE filters
meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. GE has not
qualified non-GE-branded filters for use in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no assurance
that non-GE-branded filters meet GE's standards for quality, performance and reliability.
If you have questions, or to order additional filter cartridges, visit our website at www.gewaterfilters.com
or call GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002.
Customers in Canada should consult the yellow pages for the nearest Camco Service Center.
WARNING
Water filter cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right corner of
the refrigerator compartment.
When to replace the filter on models
with a replacement indicator light
There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge
on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to
tell you that you need to replace the filter soon.
The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement
indicator light turns red or if the flow of water to the dispenser or
icemaker decreases.
When to replace the filter on models
without a replacement indicator light
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months
or earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or
icemaker decreases.
Removing the filter cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one
by slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on the cartridge. A
small amount of water may drip down.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk associated with property damage due
to water leakage, read and follow instructions before installation
and use of this system. Installation and use MUST comply with all
state and local plumbing codes.
Installing the filter cartridge
1
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap
to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately
after installation.
2
Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder. Place
the top of the new cartridge up inside the holder.
Do not push it up into the holder.
3
Slowly turn it to the right until the filter
cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position.
The cartridge will move about a ½ turn.
4
Run water from the dispenser for 1-1/2 gallons (about three
minutes) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
5
Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad (on some models) on
the dispenser for three seconds.
NOTE: A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause water
to spurt from the dispenser.
Filter bypass plug
Y
ou must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter
cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will not
operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
To use the filter bypass plug on Water by Culligan
™
models,
you must first remove the filter adaptor from the cartridge holder by
turning it to the left.

Automatic
icemaker
A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12–24 hours to begin making ice.
7KHLFHPDNHUZLOOSURGXFHVHYHQFXEHVSHUF\FOH³
approximately 15 cycles in a 24-hour period.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the power
switch to O (off).
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, set the power switch to
I
(on).
Throw away the first full bucket of ice to allow
the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of
the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the
icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, set the power
switch to O (off) and remove the cubes. Set the
power switch to
I
(on) to restart the icemaker.
After the icemaker has been turned on again, there
will be a delay of about 45 minutes before the
icemaker resumes operations.
The ice bucket is conveniently located in the upper
IUHH]HUEDVNHW2FFDVLRQDOO\LFHFXEHVPD\VSLOO
out of the bucket. Should the ice cubes fall to the
bottom of the freezer, they are of no concern; they
will sublimate away harmlessly.
NOTE: In homes with low water pressure, you may
hear the icemaker water valve cycle on several
times when making one batch of ice.

the fan running when the door is opened;
however, this is not a result of your actions. The
fan will operate at random times. The defrost
heater will continue to defrost the refrigerator
and freezer and will be activated on a timer. The
defrost heater will not defrost as a result of door
openings or any consumer actions.

Cleaning
outside
The door handles and trim. Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish
detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish
cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue
that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring
pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach because these products
can scratch and weaken the paint finish.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) should be regularly cleaned
with a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic.™
Stainless Steel Magic and the Monogram
polishing cloth are available to preserve
and protect the fine finish, through
GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002,
or GEAppliances.com.
For Stainless Steel Magic, order part number
WX10X15. For Monogram polishing cloth, order
part number WX72X10001.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Cleaning
inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring
excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when
cleaning around switches, lights or controls.

gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly
to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps
keep the gaskets from sticking and bending
out of shape.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause them to break. Handle
glass shelves carefully. Rough handling of
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts

THUMPING SOUND • This is a normal operating sound.
WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED
• The mechanism that closes the door makes a slight thumping sound as
it passes over its lever point, at approximately 80 degrees.
• Closing the door slowly will minimize the sound.

– You may hear a whooshing or gurgling sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
– A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice
melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
– The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make
a gurgling noise like boiling water.
– Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping
or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
– You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is
first plugged in or during/after the defrost cycle. This happens as the
refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
– Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal cooling
and energy savings.
– The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when
attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
– The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays
activate to control refrigerator components.
– Ice cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes
as icemaker refills.
– The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills
with water.
