After
installation
is completed
• Promptly inspect your new Monogram
beverage center. If it has been damaged,
contact the Installer or Dealer
immediately.
• This beverage center must be properly
leveled to ensure correct door alignment
and door closure. Contact the Installer if
the unit is not level.
• The unit should be centered in the
opening. The front face of the door
should be 1″ forward of adjacent
cabinetry. Contact the installer if
clearance is not correct.
• Test the door swing. Carefully open and
close the door. The door should not rub
or catch on adjacent cabinetry. Notify the
installer if the door makes contact with

Your beverage center is shipped with a
black toekick on the front of the unit. For
shipping purposes, an optional stainless
steel toekick is secured to the back of the
unit. That toekick should have been
removed and installed, or given to you.
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.

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.
wDANGER: 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.

AND LOCATED AS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG OR EXTENSION CORD
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Do not use an adapter plug to connect the
refrigerator to a 2-prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance.
wDANGER! 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.
RÉFRIGÉRANTS
Tous les appareils de réfrigération
contiennent des refrigerants 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.

AVANT D’ÊTRE UTILISÉ, L’APPAREIL MÉNAGER DOIT ÊTRE BIEN
INSTALLÉ ET SE TROUVER À L’ENDROIT DÉCRIT DANS CETTE MANUEL.
NE PAS UTILISER DE FICHE D’ADAPTATION OU
DE CORDON PROLONGATEUR

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.
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.
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.

The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild
soap and water, a baking soda solution or
a mild scouring powder. Rinse well.
After cleaning the door gasket, apply a
thin layer of paraffin wax or petroleum
jelly to the door gasket at the hinge side.
This helps keep the gasket from sticking

Care and Cleaning
Beverage Center
Cleaning
the inside
Unplug the beverage center before cleaning.
If the unit is in a built-in location, remove
power at the circuit breaker. Use a slightly
damp 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 beverage center unit—
including the door gaskets, full extension
drawers and glass shelves—can be cleaned
the same way.
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.
Drain hole
Periodically check the drain hole and
channel for any debris. If the drain is
blocked, condensation will not drain
properly.
To check and clean the drain hole, remove
the bottom two glass shelves. Sweep a damp
cloth along the channel in the back of the
beverage center. Use a finger to sweep away
any debris from the drain hole.

LIMITED FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY
For five years from date of original purchase, we will provide, free of charge, parts and service labor

This warranty is extended to the original purchaser and any succeeding owner for products purchased for
ordinary home use in the 48 mainland states, Hawaii, Washington, D.C. or Canada. If the product is located
in an area where service by a GE Authorized Servicer is not available, you may be responsible for a trip
charge or you may be required to bring the product to an Authorized GE Service location for service. In
Alaska the warranty is the same except that it is LIMITED because you must pay to ship the product to the

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
