CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW GRAM

REFRIGERATOR.

Congratulations on your new refrigerator. The refrigerator 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 refrigerator as
possible, it is important that you become familiar with the
refrigerator functions and know how to use the accessories. Please
read this manual carefully before setting up and using your
refrigerator.
As these instructions apply to several refrigerator models, the
equipment may vary from model to model.

Before using the refrigerator

On receipt, check to ensure that the refrigerator has not become
damaged during transportation. Transport damage should be
reported to the local supplier before the refrigerator is put to use.
It is also highly recommended that your refrigerator 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 refrigerator
interior should be cleaned with lukewarm water containing a mild
detergent. Use a soft cloth. If the refrigerator has been stored in
cold surroundings (colder than +5ºC), it must be allowed to
stabilise for at least 2 hours before being switched on.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The refrigerator 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 refrigerator and
connecting power to refrigerator. 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 refrigerator

The refrigerator must always be moved in the vertical position. The
cabinet must not be tilted more than approx 40º. If the refrigerator
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 refrigerator is not to be used for some time

If the refrigerator is to remain unused for a time, switch it off by
pressing button

O (2), (diagram on page 14). Then disconnect the

power supply to the refrigerator and if possible, pull the plug out
of the wall socket.
Empty, defrost and clean the refrigerator. Leave the refrigerator
door slightly ajar. This will prevent bad smells in the refrigerator.

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 refrigerator/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 refrigerator

For safety reasons the refrigerator 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
refrigerator 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 refrigerator 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
refrigerator 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 refrigerators adjustable feet are
set correctly to avoid movement or future distortion of the cabinet
(2 optional rear feet are supplied in the parts kit).
It is also advantageous, but not necessary, that the refrigerator is
tilted slightly towards the rear to allow the door to close on it’s
own.

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.
