Congratulations on your new GRAM
freezer
Congratulations on your new freezer. The freezer was developed taking the
different storage requirements of food items into consideration. The freezer is
equipped with freezing drawers in various sizes giving room to all the little things
as well as a big turkey.
To ensure that you get as much joy out of your freezer as possible, it is impor tant
that you become familiar with the freezer functions and know how to use the
accessories. Please read the instructions for use carefully before setting up and
using your freezer.
As these instructions apply to several freezer models, the equipment may vary
from model to model.
Before using the freezer
On receipt, check to ensure that the freezer has not become damaged in
transport. Transport damage should be reported to the local supplier before the
freezer is put to use.
Before filling the freezer with items of food, the freezer interior should be cleaned
with lukewarm water containing a mild detergent. Use a soft cloth. If the freezer
has been stored in cold surroundings (colder than +5°C), it must be allowed to
stabilise for at least 2 hours before being switched on.

Important information
The freezer contains the environmentfriendly, non-ozone-depleting
refrigerant R600a. As R600 is a
flammable gas, it is important to avoid
damage to the refrigerating circuit
during transport and installation. If the
refrigeration circuit is damaged, avoid
using naked flame in the vicinity of the
freezer and connecting power to the
cabinet. Also make sure that there is
good ventilation in the room. If you are
in doubt, please contact your supplier.
Transporting and moving
the freezer
The freezer must always be moved in
the vertical position. The freezer must
not be tilted more than approx. 40°. If
the freezer has been tilted more than
40°, the power supply must not be
connected until the appliance has
stood upright for at least two hours.
If the freezer is to remain
unused for a time
If the freezer is to remain unused for a
time, e.g. in a summerhouse, switch it
off by pressing the switch
O (2)
and disconnecting the power supply to
the cabinet and possibly pulling the
plug out of the wall socket.
Empty, defrost and clean the freezer.
Leave the freezer door slightly ajar.
This will prevent bad smells in the
cabinet.
Warning
Old refrigerators and freezers are often
fitted with complicated latches that can
only be opened from the outside. If you
have an old unit like this stored away
somewhere, or if you scrap it,
remember to destroy the latch to
prevent children from being exposed to
danger by getting locked inside the
unit.
Note! Please also observe the
environmental rules on disposal.
Disposal
If a freezer is to be disposed of, this
must be done in an environmentally
correct way, in accordance with current
rules on disposal.
Please observe the environmental
rules on disposal. There might be
special requirements/conditions to be
observed.
Information on disposal can be
obtained from:
- Gram A/S
- Your white-goods supplier
- Authorities (the local council, Ministry
of the Environment, etc.)
