Introduction
Your new Monogram refrigerator makes an eloquent statement of style, convenience and kitchen
planning flexibility. Whether you chose it for its purity of design, practical storage arrangements
or assiduous attention to detail—or for all of these reasons—you’ll find that your Monogram
refrigerator’s superior blend of form and function will delight you for years to come.
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. Through a series of product choices, the Monogram refrigerator can be
beautifully integrated into the kitchen.
Since this is designed to be 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.
The information on the following pages will help you operate and maintain your
refrigerator properly.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
w DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigeration products are still dangerous…
even if they will sit for “just a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
w WARNING – When using
this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
• 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.
• After your refrigerator is in operation,
do not touch the cold surfaces in the
freezer compartment, particularly 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 an automatic icemaker,
avoid contact with the 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,
set the Master Light switch in the OFF
position 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.) NOTE: Setting the
refrigerator temperature controls to OFF
does not remove power to the light circuit.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.

IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ
RÉFRIGÉRANTS
Tous les appareils de réfrigération contiennent
des réfrigérants qui, conformément aux lois
fédérales, doivent être enlevés avant toute
élimination de l’appareil. Si vous vous
débarrassez de vieux appareils de réfrigération,
vérifiez, auprès de la société qui s’occupe de
leur élimination, ce que vous devez faire.
w DANGER! RISQUES POUR LES ENFANTS
Les enfants pris au piège ou morts d’asphyxie
sont toujours d’actualité. Les appareils de
réfrigération abandonés sont toujours aussi
dangereux, même si on n’attend que “quelque
jours” pour s’en débarasser. Si vous ne gardez
pas votre ancien appareil, veuillez suivre les
directives ci-dessous afin de prévenir les
accidents.
Avant de vous débarasser de votre vieux
appareil de réfrigération:
• Démontez les portes.
• Laissez les clayettes en place afin d’empêcher
les enfants de grimper à l’intérieur.

Important
facts about
your ice
& water
dispenser
• Do not add ice from trays or bags to the
storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.
• Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice
can jam the chute or cause the door in the
chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the
chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
• Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage bin may cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.
• To keep dispensed ice from missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.
• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBES. This happens
occasionally when a few cubes accidentally
get directed to the crusher.
• After crushed ice is dispensed, some water
may drip from the chute.
• Sometimes a mound of snow will form on
the door in the ice chute. This condition is
normal and usually occurs when you have
dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow
will eventually evaporate.
• Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder
water, simply add crushed ice or cubes
before dispensing water.
• The first glass of water dispensed may be
warmer than the following ones. This is
normal.
• To eliminate drips on the spill shelf, tilt the
glass in slightly when dispensing water.

Automatic
icemaker
A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12–24 hours to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per
cycle—approximately 15 cycles in a 24-hour
period, depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of
door openings and other use conditions.
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). The green light will come on.
Throw away the first full bucket of ice.
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.
After the icemaker has been turned on again,
there will be a delay of about 45 minutes
before the icemaker resumes operations.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average
water pressure, you may hear the icemaker
water valve cycle on several times when
making one batch of ice.

Climate
Control
drawer
How it Works
The Climate Control feature is a system of
dampers, a fan, a temperature thermistor,
a heater and a specially designed tray.
The Climate Control drawer can be used
to chill items quickly, thaw foods quickly or
store items at their optimum temperatures.
The drawer is tightly sealed to prevent the
drawer’s temperature from causing temperature
fluctuations in the rest of the refrigerator.
SELECT TEMP—Use this feature to store
items at their optimum temperatures.
The CITRUS setting will maintain a drawer
temperature of 43°F by cycling a small
heater off and on as needed. The PRODUCE
setting will maintain the drawer temperature
at 34°F by drawing in additional cold air as
needed. The MEAT setting will maintain the
drawer temperature at 32°F by drawing in
additional cold air as needed.
EXPRESS CHILL—This feature can be used
to cool items in minutes, rather than hours.
Extra cool air is circulated throughout the
drawer. Once the cycle is complete, the
drawer will revert to the pre-set fresh food
temperature.
EXPRESS THAW—This feature thaws items
in hours rather than days. Food is gently
thawed in a cool environment by circulating
air throughout the drawer. Temperature is
maintained in the drawer by cycling a small
heater off and on as needed. Once the thaw
cycle is complete, the pan will automatically
adjust to a temperature of 32°F to store the
food at its optimum temperature.
Climate Control Tray—Besides using the
specially designed Climate Control tray
when using the drawer, it can also be used
as a chilled serving tray to keep foods cold.
NOTE: By turning the controls on the Climate
Control drawer off, the drawer can be used as a
standard sealed produce pan. The temperature
inside the drawer will be the same as the fresh
food compartment.
How to Use
1 Empty the drawer. Place the tray in the
drawer. Place the items on the tray and
close the drawer completely.
2 Select the Express Thaw,™ Express Chill™ or
Select Temp™ pad. The display will come on.
Press the pad until the light appears next
to the desired setting. Use the chart on the
next page to determine the best setting.
• To stop a feature before it is finished,
press that feature’s pad until no options
are selected and the display is off.
• During Express Thaw™ and Express Chill,™
the display on the controls will count
down the time remaining in the cycle.
• After the Express Thaw™ cycle is
complete, the drawer will reset to the
MEAT setting (32°F) to help preserve
thawed items until they are used.
• The displayed actual temperature of the
Climate Control drawer may vary slightly
from the SET temperature based on usage
and operation environment.
NOTE: For food safety reasons, it is
recommended that foods be wrapped in
plastic wrap when using Express Thaw.™
This will help contain meat juices and
improve thawing performance.

Care and Cleaning
Built-In Refrigerators
Cleaning
inside
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.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse
and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—including
door gaskets, meat and vegetable drawers,
ice storage bin and all plastic parts—can be
cleaned the same way.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
Do not wash the aluminum Climate Control
tray in the dishwasher. The aluminum will
discolor in the dishwasher.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves
carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause it
to shatter.
WARNING –Halogen lights
generate intense heat. Be certain power is off
and lamps have sufficient time to cool before
attempting to replace.
Power to the lamps can be turned off at the
Master Light switch located behind the grille
panel at the top of the refrigerator.
Turning the temperature control to OFF
does NOT remove power to the light circuits.

In Alaska the warranty is the same except that it is LIMITED because you must pay to ship
the product to the service shop or for the service technician’s travel costs to your home.
All warranty service will be provided by our Factory Service Centers or by our authorized Customer
Care

servicers during normal working hours.
Should your appliance need service, during warranty period or beyond, in the USA call
800.444.1845. In Canada: 888.880.3030.
Some states/provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state/province to province.
To know what your legal rights are in your state/province, consult your local or state/provincial
consumer affairs office or your state’s Attorney General.
