READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Keep flammable materials and vapors away from the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
WARNING
**
Tip-Over Hazard.**

These appliances are top-heavy, especially with any doors open, and must be secured to prevent tipping forward which could result in death or serious injury. Read and follow the entire installation instructions for securing the appliance with the anti-tip system.

CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet
Do not remove the ground prong
Do not use an adapter
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
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. Do not use an adapter.
The refrigerator/freezer should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator/freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.
Immediately discontinue the use of a damaged supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service professional with an authorized service part from the manufacturer.
When moving the refrigerator/freezer away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER

WARNING SUFFOCATION AND ENTRAPMENT HAZARD

Failure to follow these disposal instructions can result in death or serious injury
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators/ freezers are still dangerous even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator/ freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Appliance

  • Take off the fresh food and freezer doors.
  • Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER (FREEZER MODELS)

WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only. A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals).
CAUTION
To minimize the risk of personal injury, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice-making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
A newly-installed freezer may take 12­24 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 freezer is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, turn OFF the ice maker on the control panel.
When the freezer has been connected to the water supply, turn ON the icemaker on the control panel.

Throw away the first full bucket 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.
NOTE: Icemaker works best between 40 and 120 PSI (275-827 kPa) home water pressure.

ACCESSING THE ICE MAKER AND ICE STORAGE BIN

The ice maker is located above the first drawer of the freezer. The ice bin is in the first drawer.
To remove the ice bin:
Open and fully extend the top drawer and lift out the ice storage bin.
If the ice storage bin will be removed for more than 2 minutes, set the icemaker power switch to the OFF position to prevent cubes from falling into the wire drawer. Remember to switch the icemaker power switch back to the ON position before replacing the ice storage bin.

XWF or XWFE WATER FILTER (on some models)

WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
The water filter cartridge is located in the CASE TOP ASSEMBLY at the top of the unit.
When to replace the filter cartridge
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if 170 gallons of water have been dispensed or the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
The main refrigerator/freezer control panel will display an ORDER WATER FILTER when the water filter has reached 90% of life. The display will change to WATER FILTER EXPIRED after 100% of life.

Removing the filter cartridge

  1. Open the front cover of the enclosure to 90°. Locate filter and filter removal tool. The filter should be as shown.

  2. Rotate filter ¼ turn counterclockwise (use filter removal tool if needed).

  3. Pull filter toward you to remove.
    NOTE: The water system will not function without a filter in place.

Installing the filter cartridge

  1. Locate the blue arrow on the filter. Rotate filter to align arrow as shown.

  2. Insert filter into position and rotate ¼ turn clockwise (use filter removal tool if needed).

  3. Return filter removal tool to mounting hook. Close the compartment door.

  4. In refrigerators, run 2 gallons of water through the AutoFill pitcher to remove air from the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will cause water to spurt and dribble until the air is out of the system.

  5. In freezers, the icemaker may not immediately produce ice. Initial ice may be irregularly shaped. Discard the first bin of ice to allow air to purge from the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will cause water to spurt into the icemaker body, which could lead to ice droplets around the ice maker area.

NOTE: It is normal for these droplets and initial ice production to appear discolored during the initial system flush. Ice color will return to normal after the first bin of ice production.
To reset t the water filter usage hold the + control panel for 3 seconds.
Filter bypass plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, visit monogram.com. In Canada, monogram.ca The autofill pitcher and icemaker will not operate without either the filter or bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge.
For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, Monogram Appliances recommends the use of GE Appliancesbranded filters only. Using GE Appliances- branded filters in Monogram refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE Appliances filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water.

Temperature control in the OFF position.
If the interior light is not on, the refrigerator/freezer may not be plugged in at the wall outlet.
The house fuse is blown/the house circuit breaker is tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
The unit master switch may not be turned on.
Sabbath Mode may be activated. Turn off the Sabbath Mode.
MOTOR OPERATES FOR LONG PERIODS OR CYCLES ON AND OFF FREQUENTLY
(Modern refrigerators and freezers with more storage space and a larger freezer require more operating time. They start and stop often to maintain even temperatures.)| Normal when refrigerator/freezer is first plugged in. Wait 24 hours for the refrigerator/ freezer to completely cool down.
Often occurs when large amounts of food are placed in the refrigerator/ freezer. This is normal.
Door left open or package holding the door open.
Hot weather or frequent door openings. This is normal.
Temperature controls set at the coldest setting. See Temperature Controls.
VIBRATION OR RATTLING (Slight vibration is normal.)| The refrigerator may not be properly installed.
THUMPING SOUND WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED| This is a normal operating sound.
The mechanism that closes the door makes a slight thumping sound as it passes over its lever point, at approximately 80 degrees.
Closing the door slowly will minimize the sound.
OPERATING SOUNDS| Normal fan airflow. The 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/freezer.
–    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 refrigerator/freezer cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
–    Water dripping 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/freezer is first plugged in or during/after the defrost cycle. This happens as the refrigerator/freezer cools to the correct temperature.–    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/freezer components.
–    Ice cubes drop into the bin.
–    The ice maker water valve will buzz and water will run in tubes when the icemaker and AutoFill pitcher fills with water.
