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 may be 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.

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.
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 and discard separately.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
• If the refrigerator has a lock, make it unusable.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electrical
appliances, basic safety precautions should
be followed, 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. Also see
the How to Connect Electricity section.
• 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.
• Do not attempt to stand on top of the
refrigerator. Doing so may result in bodily
injury or damage to the refrigerator.
• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• Installation of the icemaker must be done
by a qualified service technician.
• 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,
the refrigerator should be unplugged
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.
• Always clean the Climate Control Tray after
thawing food.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with an earthing plug which mates with
a standard earthed 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 earthed.
Where an unearthed wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly earthed
wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual
electrical outlet.
This provides the
best performance
and also prevents
overloading house
wiring circuits
which could cause
a fire hazard from overheated wires. Please
refer to the rating plate on the refrigerator
for the correct voltage, wattage and frequency.
If the product plug does not fit your outlet,
the product should be fitted with a new plug.
IMPORTANT: The refitting of electric plugs and
cables should be done by a qualified technician
or service agent. In some countries the refitting
of electric plugs and cables is only permitted
when the work is completed by a qualified
technician.
If the power supply cord becomes damaged,
it must be replaced by a qualified service agent
in order to avoid a safety hazard.
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.
Mains lead replacement
If the mains lead on your refrigerator needs
replacing at any time, it must be replaced
by a special lead which is obtainable from
your local dealer. A charge will be made for
the replacement of the mains lead if you
have damaged the lead.
The refrigerator must be positioned so that
the plug is accessible.
Insure proper earthing
exists before using.

after a few seconds. This does not indicate a
malfunction and will not affect the operation
of the controls.
How to Use
To dispense water or ice: select WATER , CUBED
ICE or CRUSHED ICE . Then press the glass
gently against the top of the dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce
water spotting, the shelf and its grille should
be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator
is first installed, there may be air in the water
line system. Press the dispenser cradle for at
least two minutes to remove trapped air from
the water line and to fill the water system.
To flush out impurities in the water line,
throw away the first gallon of water.
CAUTION:

Important
facts about
your ice
and 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.

Built-In Refrigerators
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
Built-In Refrigerators
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 4 to 8°C by cycling a small
heater off and on as needed. The PRODUCE
setting will maintain the drawer temperature
at -1 to 3°C by drawing in additional cold air
as needed. The MEAT setting will maintain
the drawer temperature at -3 to 3°C 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 preset 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 -3 to 3°C 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
(-3 to 3°C) 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.

Load so that at least 15 mm of space remains
clear between stacks of packages and 15 mm
to 25 mm of space between the top of any stack
and any shelf or basket above it. Packages may
hang over the front of shelves but must remain
15 mm from doors.
• Food to be frozen must not be placed in direct
contact with food in storage. If food is to be
frozen every day, it may be necessary to
reduce the quantity to be frozen.
• If a large quantity of food needs to be frozen,
set the freezer control to its coldest setting.
After the food is frozen, reset the freezer
control to its initial position.
• Food is most quickly frozen on the middle
three shelves of the freezer compartment
and most slowly in the freezer door shelves.
• Do not store commercially quick-frozen food
longer than the time recommended by the
food manufacturers.
• If the power to the appliance is shut off for
an extended time or if the refrigerating system
fails, do not open the doors unless absolutely
necessary. When it is necessary, close them
as quickly as possible so the frozen food will
stay frozen as long as possible.
• The freezer door storage shelves marked
with a two-star label are only appropriate
for the storage of previously frozen food.
Effervescent drinks should not be stored
in the freezer compartment.
NOTE: Do not stack food or containers against
the temperature sensor. This may affect the

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 the 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.
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.
NOTE: Interior lights may get too hot and turn
off automatically if the refrigerator door is left
open too long. This is normal and they will turn
back on when they cool down.

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.
There is a switch for the freezer and a switch
for the fresh food compartment.
Turning the temperature control to OFF
does NOT remove power to the light circuits.
The refrigerator uses a halogen bulb:
The columns along the back wall
of the fresh food and freezer compartments
are lit up by lamps located behind the top pan
in the fresh food compartment and the bottom
basket in the freezer compartment.
These bulbs have a life expectancy of
about 2000 hours. However, if the bulbs
do need to be replaced, they can be
purchased from your appliance dealer.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
REFRIGERATOR • May be in defrost cycle when compressor does not operate for about
DOES NOT OPERATE 30 minutes.
• Temperature control set at OFF.
• If interior light is not on, refrigerator may not be plugged in at
wall outlet.
• The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped. Replace fuse or reset

FOR LONG PERIODS the refrigerator to completely cool down.
OR CYCLES ON AND
• The new variable speed compressor is designed to run for longer
OFF FREQUENTLY
periods of time to optimize efficiency and noise. You may notice
the compressor and/or fan speeds accelerate based upon door
openings and/or increased food loads.
• You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when
the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened
frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the
refrigerator or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to
maintain the correct temperatures.
• Door left open or package holding door open.
• If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the fans
come on in order to cool the light.
• Hot weather or frequent door openings. This is normal.
• Temperature controls set at the coldest setting. See Temperature
Controls.
OPERATING • Refrigerator is so quiet, that most of the time you will hear low or no
SOUNDS operating noise.
• Normal fan air flow—one fan blows cold air through the
fresh food and freezer compartments—another fan cools
the compressor motor.
• The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and
energy savings.
• These NORMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:
– 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.
(Modern refrigerators
with more storage
space and a larger
freezer require
more operating time.

toujours être branché
à sa propre prise de
courant. Non
seulement cela assure
la meilleure
performance possible
mais cela empêche
une surcharge des circuits électriques de la
maison, ce qui pourrait entrainer un risque
d’incendie causé par des circuits surchauffés.
Veuillez consulter la plaque signalétique de votre
réfrigérateur pour en connaitre la tension, la
puissance en watts et la fréquence correctes.
Si la fiche de l’appareil ne correspond as à la prise
de courant, l’appareil doit être équipé d’une
nouvelle fiche.
INFORMATIONS IMPORTANTES: Le remplacement
des prises et des câbles électriques doit être
effectué par un technicien ou un agent de
service qualifié. Dans certains pays, le
remplacement des prises de courant et des
câbles électriques est autorisé seulement si les
travaux sont effectués par un technicien
qualifié.
Si le câble d’alimentation est endommagé, il doit
être remplacé par un agent de service qualifié
afin d’éviter un risque pour la sécurité.
Ne débranchez jamais votre réfrigérateur en
tirant sur le câble électrique. Prenez toujours
la fiche fermement dans la main et tirez
directement à partir de la prise.
Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout câble
électrique devenu effiloché ou autrement
endommagé. N’utilisez pas de câble électrique
ayant des craquelures ou des abrasions, qu’elles
soient aux extrémités ou le long du câble.
En éloignant le réfrigérateur du mur, veillez à ne
pas écraser ou endommager le cordon électrique.
Remplacement du câble d’alimentation
Si le câble d’alimentation a besoin d’être
remplacé à un certain moment, cela doit être fait
par un câble d’alimentation spécial disponible
chez votre négociant local. Des frais vous seront
facturés pour le remplacement du câble
d’alimentation si vous êtes à l’origine des dégâts.
Le réfrigérateur doit être positionné de façon
à ce que la prise soit accessible.

Tournez lentement vers la droite.
Ne pas trop serrer.
Cartouche
de filtre
Le filtre à eau est situé dans le coin droit arrière
supérieur du réfrigérateur.
Pour remplacer le filtre:
La cartouche du filtre est conçue
pour filtrer 300 gallons (1135 litres)
d’eau (elle dure à peu près 12 mois).
Vous trouverez un indicateur lumineux pour
le remplacement de la cartouche du filtre à eau sur
le tableau de commandes. La lumière deviendra
jaune afin de vous indiquer qu’il est presque temps
de renouveler la cartouche. La cartouche du filtre
doit être renouvelée dès que la lumière devient
rouge ou si l’écoulement de l’eau ou du distributeur
ou de la machine a glaçons diminue.
Installation de la cartouche du filtre:
1. Détachez la vieille cartouche en la tournant
lentement vers la gauche. Une petite quantité
d’eau pourrait couler. Ne tirez pas la cartouche
vers le bas.
2. Remplissez la nouvelle cartouche avec de l’eau
du robinet afin d’obtenir un meilleur écoulement
immédiatement après l’installation.
3. Alignez la flèche sur la cartouche avec le centre
du porte-filtre. Ne la poussez pas à l’intérieur
du porte-filtre.
4. Tournez-la lentement vers la droite.
Elle effectuera environ le quart d’un tour.
NE LA SERREZ PAS PLUS QUE NECESSAIRE.
Pour reprogrammer la position de l’éclairage
du filtre:
Appuyez sur la touche RESET pendant 3 secondes.

électrique de tension électrique pourrait activer
les commandes du distributeur et allumer les
lumières. Celles-ci s’éteindront automatiquement
après quelques secondes. Ceci n’indique pas une
défaillance et n’affectera pas le fonctionnement
des commandes.
Comment l’utiliser
Pour utiliser le distributeur d’eau et de glaçons:
choisissez WATER (eau) , CUBED ICE (glaçons)
ou CRUSHED ICE (glace pilée) . Ensuite appuyez
doucement sur la vitre contre le haut

L’étagère en cas de débordement ne dispose
pas d’un mécanisme d’égouttoir. Pour réduire
les tâches d’eau, nettoyez l’étagère et la grille
régulièrement.
Si l’eau n’est pas fournie par le distributeur après
l’installation du réfrigérateur, il pourrait y avoir
de l’air dans le système de la conduite d’eau.
Appuyez sur le berceau du distributeur pendant
au moins deux minutes afin de libérer l’air
bouchant la conduite d’eau et remplir le système
d’eau. Pour se débarrasser des impuretés, jetez
le premier gallon (4 litres).
