the beauty of design essentials
MONOGRAM HOME
A GE MONOGRAM PUBLICATION
Page 2
The new Monogram®refrigerators
reflect beautifully today’s kitchen
aesthetic, both in terms of overall
appearance and fine details. Look
closely and you’ll find that
Monogram is elegance — pure
and simple.
But there’s more to Monogram
refrigerators than meets the eye.
Beneath the surface of each model
lie a number of thoughtful features
and life-enhancing innovations.
Lift the overhead panel on a
Monogram side-by-side refrigerator
and discover what the nation’s finest
restaurants already know about
food preservation. Like commercial
refrigerators, the Monogram side-by-
side uses an overhead evaporator
located outside the food zones.
The unique configuration of the
evaporator enhances airflow, capa-
city and efficiency.
Monogram refrigerators come
in a selection of styles. Make a
statement with the sleek sophisti-
cation of the stainless steel wrap
model. Or, install custom door
panels, letting the refrigerator
disappear into the woodwork as
it integrates quietly and beauti-
fully with color schemes and
custom cabinetry.
Simple, elegant styling. Beautiful possibilities.

Rich materials, uniquely applied.
When you choose GE Monogram®,
you can expect superior materials,
beautiful details and outstanding
performance. Monogram designers
perfect every detail to meet your
highest expectations.
Seamless corners and concealed door
hinges don’t interrupt the overall
design of the refrigerator. Brushed,
stainless-steel provides a rich appear-
ance, and sleek glass-touch controls
feel as good as they look.
Finishing touches such as clear Lexan®and subtle,
frosted curves are Monogram refrigeration signatures.

Intuitive. Interactive. Invisible.
Now you see them, now you
don’t. The electronic controls on
the new Monogram®side-by-side
refrigerator dispenser are truly
interactive. Activated by a unique
proximity sensor that senses your
presence, the bright icons of the
controls light up as you approach
the dispenser, and switch off auto-
matically when you walk away.
The glass-touch dispenser
provides you with refreshing,
filtered GE SmartWater.™Enjoy
it chilled, or select cubed or
crushed ice. Glass-touch controls
are as attractive and practical as
they are pleasing to the touch.
There are no levers or buttons
and no complicated instructions
to follow.
The convenient extra-tall dispenser
accommodates oversized containers
such as pitchers, sport bottles and
coffee pots.
When you walk
away from
the refrigerator,
the lighted graphics
simply vanish.

The dispenser with proximity sensor
is an example of Monogram design
principles – simple styling, ergonomic
function, thoughtful innovation.
Page 10
Like commercial refrigerators, GE
Monogram®side-by-side refriger-
ators use an overhead evaporator
located outside the fresh food and
freezer compartments. The unique
configuration of the evaporator
allows independent airflow for
each compartment without any
direct air exchange. It also makes
Monogram built-in side-by-side
refrigerators the most spacious
and energy efficient available.
The adjustable storage system
allows you to get the most out of
your interior space. The flexible
system makes fresh food storage
sensible and simple with four
specialized drawers, including a
sealed deli pan that can be
positioned at various heights.
Temperature controls on the
climate control drawer, along
with humidity settings on the
produce pan, let you customize
food environments for optimal
preservation. And full-extension
slides allow easy access to
all contents.
A broad column of halogen
light extends the length of the back
walls of both the fresh food and
freezer compartments, providing
excellent visibility. You’ll never
lose sight of those little jars again.
10
Commercial design. Residential conveniences.
An overhead evaporator provides
direct airflow to each compartment,
maximizes storage capacity and
optimizes energy efficiency.

Adjustable, tempered-glass shelves provide plenty of room for whatever you’re
storing. Each shelf and each pan is bathed in light, so every item is fully illuminated.
Page 12
1212
The climate control drawer lets you chill wine and other beverages in
minutes. You can also use it to set custards, cream pies or cheesecakes.
Page 13
The Monogram®refrigerator lets
you select different environments
for the various foods on the
shelves and in the drawers. Once
you select a specific environment,
this GE Monogram refrigerator
maintains that environment with
extraordinary precision.
Sophisticated technology keeps
foods fresher longer and performs
an array of practical functions –
from chilling to thawing to
defrosting only when necessary.
To keep food viable longer,
five strategically located sensors
monitor temperatures and main-
tain optimum cooling levels
throughout the fresh food and
freezer compartments. An exclu-
sive air tower is hidden behind
the column of light where it is
perfectly positioned to deliver
fresh, cool air to every individual
shelf and every storage drawer
from floor to ceiling.
T
he climate control drawer
functions like a refrigerator within
the refrigerator. Precise controls
allow you to chill or thaw quickly
for spontaneous entertaining.
Monogram’s adjustable humidity pan lets you maintain the moisture content that
best preserves vegetables and certain fruits.
13
Perfect control. A matter of degree.
Page 14

The innovative material of the tray maintains the temperature
from the climate control drawer, allowing you to serve foods
at their ideal temperature, beautifully.

Environmentally correct from sushi to chardonnay.
Equipped with individual con-
trols and its own thermistor, the
climate control drawer gives you
three options.
First, it allows you to select
specific temperatures for exotic
foods that are particularly tem-
perature sensitive.
Then, with just one touch of
the controls, this sealed refrigera-
tion compartment lets you express
chill wine and other beverages in
minutes rather than hours. It also
lets you express chill sushi and
other specialty foods.
The express thaw setting gives
you yet another option. It thaws
meats, poultry and seafood in
hours instead of days. You can
take a rib roast from the freezer
in the morning and safely thaw
it for dinner that night.
Chill room-temperature
wine in a matter of minutes
for an impromptu evening.

Eye-level beauty, creative inner space.
The convenient configuration of
the Monogram®bottom-freezer
refrigerator is the perfect choice
for households with a fresh-food
focus. The eye-level accessibility
of the fresh food compartment
eliminates stooping and bending
for everyday items.
Outside, beautifully designed
beveled edges and new concealed
hinges exemplify Monogram’s
concept of simplicity as style.
Inside, brilliant lighting in both
the fresh food compartment and
the freezer drawer lets you enjoy
a full view of everything.
Versatile storage options offer
an array of features for preserv-
ing freshness. Tempered-glass
shelves are spill-proof and adjust
to handle foods and containers
of different sizes. Sealed deli
pans and vegetable bins with
adjustable humidity control help
foods stay fresher.

A paradigm of convenience.
The functional design of the
Monogram®bottom-freezer is
evident in the selection of storage
spaces and features dedicated to
preserving a variety of foods.
The temperature management
system with upfront, electronic
controls delivers cool, fresh air to
every shelf. Digital readouts tell
you at a glance the temperatures
maintained in the fresh food and
freezer compartments.
The large freezer drawer is
designed for ease of use and
convenience. Two full-width wire
baskets provide maximum stability,
even when stocked with items as
heavy as a smoked turkey or a
glazed ham.
Even the automatic icemaker
has been thoughtfully equipped
with filtered GE SmartWater™for
fresh-tasting ice cubes that please
the most discriminating palate.
Freezer baskets glide out smoothly
on independent, full-extension
Accuride®slides, so there’s no sticking
or wobbling.

Two sealed deli pans offer ample room for meats,
cheeses and other items that need airtight storage.
The two lower bins offer adjustable humidity
settings for fruits and vegetables.
