After installation is completed

• Promptly inspect your new Monogram bar refrigerator with icemaker. If it has been damaged, contact the Installer or Dealer immediately.

• This bar refrigerator with icemaker must be properly leveled to ensure correct door alignment, door closure and ice production. Contact the Installer if the unit is not level.

• The unit should be centered in the opening. In a standard 24″ opening, the front face of the Stainless Steel door will be flush with adjacent cabinetry. The front face of the Custom Panel door should be 1

⁄4″ forward of adjacent cabinetry. Contact the installer if clearance is not correct.

Keep the unused toekick and other unused or removed parts for possible future use.

Remove packaging

Before using, be sure all packing materials and tape have been removed.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive left from packaging tape on

new appliances is an application of household liquid detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

Save time & money

Before you request service, check the Problem Solver in the back of this manual.

It lists causes of minor operating problems that you can correct yourself.

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.

wWARNING—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 bar refrigerator with icemaker must

be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

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 Interrupter) is not recommended for the bar refrigerator with icemaker.

The appliance 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 BAR REFRIGERATOR WITH ICEMAKER TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

Never unplug an appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the 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 appliance, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Bar Refrigerator with Icemaker

Automatic icemaker

The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle—approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

If the bar refrigerator with icemaker is operated before the water connection is made to the water valve, set the icemaker power switch to O (off).

When the unit has been connected to the water supply, set the icemaker power switch to I (on). The green light will come on.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to 15°F (–10°C). A newly installed bar refrigerator with icemaker may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water.

Throw away the first few batches 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, the green power light will blink. To correct this, set the icemaker power switch to O (off) and remove the cubes. Set the icemaker 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.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice.

Care and Cleaning

Bar Refrigerator with Icemaker

Cleaning the inside

Unplug the bar refrigerator with icemaker before cleaning. If this is not practical, turn the unit OFF and wring excess moisture out of the cloth or sponge 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 bar refrigerator with icemaker—including the door gaskets,

drawer, icemaker, ice scoop and glass shelves—can be cleaned the same way. Only the ice storage bin is dishwasher safe, top rack only.

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.

Cleaning the outside

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 damage the finish. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and damage the finish.

Stainless Steel—Regularly clean and polish the stainless steel exterior and handle with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic

™

to preserve and protect the fine finish. Stainless Steel magic is available through GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002 or ge.com. Order part number WX10X15.

To avoid scratching the fine finish of the stainless steel, wipe in the same direction as the grain when polishing or cleaning any stainless steel surface. The grain on the bar refrigerator with icemaker door runs top to bottom.

Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.

Warranty does not cover damage due to improper cleaning methods.

Turn the bar refrigerator with icemaker OFF or unplug the unit before cleaning.

Turn the bar refrigerator with icemaker OFF by pressing the button on the control panel a minimum of 3 seconds until the light turns off.

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

WATER SOUNDS

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

• The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old appliance and you may hear a highpitched hum or pulsating sounds while it is operating.

• Sometimes the appliance runs for an extended period, especially when the doors are opened frequently.

• You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the appliance.

• The cabinet fan runs continuously except when the door is opened.

• You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the appliance is first plugged in, when the door is opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the appliance. The fans help maintain desired temperatures.

• If the door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs.
