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
match your kitchen cabinets or blend with your kitchen decor. Custom
handles are also available to further personalize your refrigerator. Through a
series of product and trim kit 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.

Set Temperature Controls
YOUR
REFNGEMTOR
Your refrigerator has two controls
that let you regulate the temperature
in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
They have settings from 1 through
9, and are located at the top of the
fresh food compartment.
The freezer control also has
an OFF setting.
9 is the coldest setting, 1 is the warmest.
How to Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh
food compartment. Place a
container of milk on the top shelf
in the fresh food compartment.
Check it a day later. If the milk is
too warm or too cold, adjust the
temperature controls.

Power Saver Switch
The power saver switch is located
on the temperature control panel.
To reduce the amount of electricity required
to operate your refrigerator, push switch to
POWER SAVER setting.
This turns off the heater in your refrigerator that
prevents moisture from forming on the outside of the
refrigerator.
With the heater turned off, there is a chance that
moisture may form on the outside of your refrigerator,
especially when the weather is humid.
The humidity is most likely to be high in the summer,
in the early morning hours, and in homes which are
not air conditioned.
No Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the freezer or fresh food
compartments. Although your refrigerator is designed
and equipped to defrost itself automatically, some
frost on packages is normal.
Over an extended period of time, moisture that forms
on the refrigerator surface may cause deterioration of
the paint finish. It will be important to protect the
finish by using appliance polish wax as described in
the Care and Cleaning section.
Move the power saver switch from the POWER
SAVER setting and electricity flows through the low
wattage heater which warms the outside of the
refrigerator. Under most conditions, this prevents the
forming of moisture or water droplets.

The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of 8, and it
is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
However, infrequent usage of ice can cause ice

temporary malfunction of the dispenser mechanism.
To Remove Ice Cube Storage Bin
Lift the left corner to free the bin from the shelf,
and pull the bin straight out while supporting it at
front and back.
If this happens:
● Remove storage bin from freezer compartment.
● Break up ice clumps with fingertip pressure and
discard remaining clumps.
● Replace bin before remaining cubes melt and

*U.S. Department of Agriculture
Meats, fish and poultry purchased
from the store vary in quality and
age; consequently, safe storage time
in your refrigerator will vary.
To store unfrozen meats, fish and poultry:
“
Always remove store wrappings.
● Rewrap in foil, plastic wrap or wax paper and
refrigerate immediately.
To store vegetables, use the vegetable drawers—
they’ve been designed to preserve the natural
moisture and freshness of produce.
● Covering vegetables
with a moist towel helps
maintain crispness.
Tips on Freezing Food
There are three essential
requirements for efficient
home freezing.
1. Initial quality. Freeze only
quality foods. Freezing retains
quality and flavor; it cannot
improve quality.
2. Speed. The quicker fruits and
vegetables are frozen after
picking, the better the frozen
product will be. You’ll save
time, too, with less culling and
sorting to do.
top-
3. Proper packaging. Use food
wraps designed especially for
freezing.
To freeze meat, fish and poultry,
wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or
other heavy-duty wrapping
material), forming it carefully to
the shape of the contents. This
expels air. Fold and crimp ends of
the package to provide a good,
lasting seal.
Don’t refreeze meat that has been
completely thawed; meat, whether
raw or cooked, can be frozen
successfully only once.
●
As a further aid to freshness, prepackaged
vegetables can be stored in their original wrapping,
To store cheese, wrap well with wax paper or
aluminum foil, or put in a plastic bag.
●
Carefully wrap to expel air and help prevent mold.
● Store prepackaged cheese in its own wrapping
if you wish.
New techniques are constantly being developed. Consult the
County Extension Service or your local Utility Company for
the latest information on freezing and storing foods.
Fine-quality ice cream,
with high
cream content, will normally require
slightly lower temperatures than
more “airy” already-packaged
brands with low cream content.
● It will be necessary to experiment
to determine the freezer
compartment location and
temperature control setting to
keep your ice cream at the right
serving temperature.
● The rear of the freezer
compartment is slightly colder
than the front.

STOMGE DMWERS
Fruit and Vegetable Drawers
The storage drawers at the bottom of the fresh food
compartment are designed to provide high humidity
levels required by most vegetables and lower
humidity levels required for most fruits.
Sealed Drawer
This refrigerated drawer is designed to keep
unwrapped foods fresh by retaining the natural
moisture content of foods such as:
●
Artichokes
●
Asparagus
●
Beets, topped
●
Blueberries● Currants
* Carrots
As in any refrigerated storage area, it is
recommended that foods with strong odors be
stored wrapped—foods such as:
●
Broccoli
●
Brussels sprouts
●
Celery
●
Cherries
●
Corn
● Greens, leafy ● Radishes
●
Cabbage
●

●
Turnips
When replacing the drawers, always push them all the
way in.
Storage time will depend upon the type of food and its
condition when placed in the drawers.
Excess water that you may find in the bottom of the
drawers should be emptied and the drawers wiped dry.
Unsealed Drawer
This refrigerated drawer is designed to provide lower
humidity storage for items such as:
●
Apples
●
Apricots
●
Grapes

SHELVES
How to Rearrange Your Shelves
Adjustable Shelves in Both Compartments
Tempered glass shelves in the fresh food compartment
and steel wire shelves in the freezer compartment are
adjustable, enabling you to make efficient shelf
arrangements to fit your family’s food storage needs.
To remove shelves: Tilt shelf up at front, then lift it
up and out of tracks on rear wall of refrigerator.
Removable Wine Rack (on some models)
I
Inl
To replace shelves: Select desired shelf height. With
shelf front raised slightly, engage top lugs in tracks at
rear of cabinet. Then lower front of shelf until it locks
into position.
The wine rack is designed to hold a bottle on its side
and will fit on any shelf.
Adjustable Shelves on Both Doors
Door shelves can be moved up and down to meet
your storage requirements.
To remove: Lift the shelf up and slide it towards you.
To relocate the wine rack:
fill
the wine rack straight out, position its lip over the
right edge of the shelf you want to suspend it from
and push it all the way in.

Cleaning—Outside
—
The water and ice dispenser spill shelf should be
wiped dry immediately to prevent spotting. Water left
on the shelf may leave deposits that you can remove
by soaking in undiluted vinegar. You can also use a
paste of non-precipitating water softener (such as
Calgon
brand) and water, or 1 teaspoon of citric acid
powder per pint of hot tap water. Soak until the
deposit disappears or becomes loose enough to rinse
away. Usually 30 minutes soaking time is adequate.
Avoid using wax on the spill shelf&d trim.
Cleaning—Inside
Inside the fresh food and freezer compartments
should be cleaned at least once a year. Unplug the
refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical,
wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when
cleaning around switches, lights or controls.

petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side.
This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending
out of shape. Do not use cleansing powders or other
abrasive cleaners.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference may
cause them to break.

To replace a bulb:
1. Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
2. Remove the light shield from the top fresh food
