CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW GRAM

Fre

ine FRIDGE/FREEZER.

Congratulations on your new fridge/freezer. The fridge/freezer
was developed taking the different storage requirements of food
items into consideration. Some must be stored cold - others require
a little higher temperature. A few must be stored separately so as
not to impart flavour and odour to other items of food. Most items
of food require high air humidity in order to stay fresh.
To ensure that you get as much joy out of your new fridge/freezer
as possible, it is important that you become familiar with the
appliances functions and know how to use the accessories. Please
read this manual carefully before setting up and using your
fridge/freezer.
As these instructions apply to several fridge/freezer models, the
equipment may vary from model to model.

Before using the fridge/freezer

On receipt, check to ensure that the fridge/freezer has not become
damaged during transportation. Transport damage should be
reported to the local supplier before the fridge/freezer is put to use.
It is also highly recommended that your fridge/freezer is left in it’s
final position in the kitchen for a minimum of 2 hours prior to
turning on. This allows the oil to settle in the compressor, which is
caused by movement during transportation.
Before filling the refrigerator with items of food, the fridge/freezer’s
interior should be cleaned with lukewarm water containing a mild
detergent. Use a soft cloth. If the fridge/freezer has been stored in
cold surroundings (colder than +5ºC), it must be allowed to
stabilise for at least 2 hours before being switched on.

to 12.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The fridge/freezer contains the environment-friendly, non-ozone
depleting refrigerant R600a. As R600a is a flammable gas, it is
important to avoid damage to the refrigeration circuit during
transport and installation. If the refrigeration circuit is damaged,
avoid using naked flame in the vicinity of the fridge/freezer and
connecting power to the fridge/freezer. Also make sure that there
is good ventilation in the room. If you are in doubt, please contact
your supplier.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.

WARNING: Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure
or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage
compartments of the appliance, unless they are recommended by
the manufacturer.

Transporting and moving the fridge/freezer

The fridge/freezer must always be moved in the vertical position.
The cabinet must not be tilted more than approx 40º. If the fridge/
freezer has been tilted more than 40º, the power supply must not
be connected until the appliance has stood upright for at least 2
hours.

If the fridge/freezer is not to be used for some time

Turn off the fridge/freezer by turning the dial on the thermostat
module to “0” then disconnect the power supply to the fridge/
freezer and if possible, pull the plug out of the wall socket.
Empty, defrost and clean the fridge/freezer. Leave the fridge/
freezer door slightly ajar. This will prevent bad smells in the fridge/
freezer.

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 fridge/freezer is to be disposed of, this must be done in an
environmentally correct way, in accordance with current rules of
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 (your local council, Ministry of the Environment, etc.)

SETTING UP AND INSTALLATION

Where to place the fridge/freezer

For safety reasons the fridge/freezer must not be installed
outdoors; it must be placed in a dry room. Never place the
appliance close to sources of heat such as cookers or radiators, and
avoid placing it in direct sunlight. The surface on which the
appliance is placed must be level and sturdy. The small wheels
mounted at the rear of the fridge/freezer make it easy to place it in
the required position.
Important Note: The use of other gas appliances inside the
building, such as cook tops, ovens and heaters may create extra
moisture in the air, along with places that experience general high
humidity. This may cause the refrigerator/freezer to build up an
excess of ice on the evaporator plate causing the drip tray at the
back to overflow with water during the defrost process. To help
eliminate excess moisture, a dehumidifier or ventilation unit is
recommended.

The fridge/freezer can be set up free-standing against a wall or
built into a kitchen cabinet.
It is important that the appliance stands completely level and that
there is good air circulation over, under and around it. The
fridge/freezer can be adjusted by turning the two adjusting screws
on the plinth. After adjustment, the feet and the two rear wheels
must be in contact with the surface on which the appliance stands.
It is extremely important that the fridge/freezer’s adjustable feet are
set correctly to avoid movement or future distortion of the cabinet.
It is also advantageous, but not necessary, that
the fridge/freezer is tilted slightly towards the
rear to allow the door to close on it’s own.

Models with table top (KS150/FS120/KF130)
are suitable for building in under a worktop or
in a continuation of a worktop if the kitchen
elements have a standard height of 850mm.
Before fitting, attach the ventilation grill
supplied, to the top of the fridge/freezer. (1)

If the refrigerator is placed beside another refrigerator or freezer,
there must be at least 20mm clearance between them.

If the appliance is not built in but positioned with it’s door hinge
side against a wall, there should be at least 50mm between the
appliance and the wall in order to allow the door to open easily.

The fridge/freezer must not be placed against the back wall where
the condenser plate can touch it. Allow a minimum of 20mm
between the condenser and the back wall. Use the grey rubber
spacers provided in the parts kit to ensure there is a sufficient gap.

The illustrations on the following pages (9 & 10), show how to
create sufficient air circulation around the cabinet. The dimensions
give the actual size of openings. The circulation area must be at
least 200 cm².
