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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 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

wWARNING: 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.

• Do not allow children to play with the
refrigerator or tamper with the controls.

• 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

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.

How it Works

The electronic controls on the dispenser are
truly interactive. The control panel is equipped
with a proximity sensor that causes the panel
to light up as you approach the dispenser
(approx. 50 mm). To make a selection,
simply touch the graphic for the feature you
want, and the halo for that feature will light
up. When you walk away from the refrigerator,
the lighted graphics switch off automatically.

NOTE: Fluctuations in the power line voltage
may activate the dispenser controls, turning
the lights on. The lights will switch off
automatically 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:

Never put fingers
or any other objects into the ice crusher
discharge opening.

Locking the Dispenser:

Touch CONTROL LOCK for
3 seconds to lock the dispenser

Ice storage
bin

To remove:

Lift up the access door to reach the icemaker.
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)
position. With the access door closed, support
the storage bin at the bottom while slightly
lifting. Pull bin straight out.

To replace:

Slide the bin back until the tab on the bin
locks into the slot on the shelf. If the bin
does not go all the way back, remove it and
rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then
push the bin back again.

Important
facts about
your ice
& 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.

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.
