SEALED SYSTEM
These units operate on two independent sealed systems. One system
operates the upper section (Fresh Food or Wine Reserve) and the other
system operates the drawers (Ice Drawer and Convertible Drawer). Both
sealed systems utilize R600a Isobutane refrigerant. This refrigerant is
flammable and requires special service procedures. Reference service
manual 31-9214 for further service information.

The Monogram convertible refrigerator utilizes 2 separate variable speed sealed systems, one system per
compartment. This allows the compartments to be independently controlled. The front system controls
the top compartment, the rear system controls the bottom compartment. These systems utilize R600a
Isobutane refrigerant. R600a is a hydrocarbon refrigerant.
Q. What are hydrocarbons? (HC)
Hydrocarbon refrigerants are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-ozone-depleting replacement for
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
From a chemical point of view, a hydrocarbon is the simplest organic compound, consisting entirely of
hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons (HC) are naturally occurring substances. The majority can be found in
crude oil, where decomposed organic matter provides an abundance of carbon and hydrogen.
Hydrocarbons are one of the most climate-friendly and cost-efficient refrigerants to heat, cool and freeze.
Non-ozone depleting: Ozone Depletion Potential = 0
Not climate damaging: Global Warming Potential = for most HCs below 3 *
Non-toxic
Safe: with proper handling
Energy-efficient: usually better energy efficiency than CFC or HFC systems
Cost-efficient: low refrigerant purchase price as well as lower system running costs
Q. Are hydrocarbons safe?
Yes, with proper handling. Since hydrocarbons are flammable, some basic safety rules need to be respected
by manufacturers, installers and users, which may differ slightly depending on the application. As long as
these rules are respected, it is perfectly safe to use hydrocarbons as refrigerants. Propane, for example, is
used universally for heating and cooking. As a result, its safe handling is widely understood and practiced
by the general global population. This makes it an appropriate alternative to climate damaging chemical
refrigerants also in developing countries.
Q. Are hydrocarbons flammable?
Yes. However, keeping to the safety guidelines existing for any application using flammable refrigerants, the
risks of using hydrocarbons can be kept to a minimum, hence avoiding any threat to human health and
safety. Many components for commercial refrigerated appliances using hydrocarbons already meet safety
standard requirements.
Q. Are HCs toxic?
No. Hydrocarbons are not toxic for human beings and other living organisms. Could cause asphyxiation at
high concentrations.
Q. How does a HC system work?
A system using hydrocarbons works in exactly the same way as systems currently using synthetic
refrigerants. The basic refrigeration cycle remains the same, and only the charge of the system (exact
amount of refrigerant) varies.
Evacuate and charge the system. Use original factory charge quantity of R600a. (See Evacuation and
Charging Procedure Pub # 31-9214.)

Installation
POWER CORD
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 refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT THE
REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.
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 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.
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
Do not install the refrigerator where temperatures
will be below 60°F (16°C) because it will not maintain
proper temperatures, and the refrigerator could
develop high internal humidity.
For proper installation, the refrigerator must be
placed on a level surface of hard material the same
height as the rest of the flooring.
This surface should be strong enough to support a
fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 1,200 lbs.
each. See the Installation Instructions for complete
directions.
CLEARANCES
Allow 15" minimum clearance between the door
and wall for a full 115° door swing. Allow 5" min.
clearance to a wall for a 90° door swing for
Monogram Stainless Steel (European) models.
4” distance to Wall.

Control Features
Temperature Controls
The temperature display shows the actual temperature
of the fresh-food compartment (wine reserve for wine
reserve models), freezer drawer or customizable
drawer when each one is selected by toggling the Zone
indicator. The actual temperature will vary from the set
temperature based on factors such as frequency of door
openings, amount of food, defrost cycling and room
temperature.
NOTE: Frequent door openings or doors left open for
periods of time may increase the internal temperature of
the compartments temporarily.
To turn off the cooling system, toggle the ZONE indicator
to the fresh-food mode (wine mode for wine reserve
models). Press the plus (+) pad until the display shows
OFF. The (+) key will not be illuminated on the display and
the LED lighting will operate when the unit is in the OFF
mode. All other loads will be turned off.
To turn the cooling system on, toggle the ZONE indicator
to the fresh-food mode (wine mode for wine reserve
models), and press the minus (–) pad until the desired
temperature is displayed. The preset temperature of 0°F
for the freezer or 37°F for the fresh-food unit will appear
in the display on refrigerator models.
To check the current temperature setting for a
compartment, press the plus (+) or minus (–) pad once.
After 5 seconds, the display will return to the actual
temperature.

Automatic Icemaker
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12–24 hours
to begin making ice. The refrigerator is shipped with the
icemaker set to ON.
The icemaker will produce 7 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 icemaker
to OFF. To set the icemaker to OFF, press the ZONE
indicator on the control pad twice (3 times for wine
reserve models), to select the freezer drawer.Press
the ICE icon to the right. The line under ICE will disappear
and the word OFF will show under ICE.
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.
The icemaker is located on the ceiling of the freezer
drawer and to the left rear. There is an LED strip
in the freezer drawer ceiling. The freezer drawer
contains 1 ice bin.

Feeler Arm
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.
NOTE: Icemaker works best between 40 and 120 PSI
home water pressure.
