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 the instructions for use 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 in
transport. Transport damage should be reported to the local supplier before the
refrigerator is put to use.
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 +5°C), it must be
allowed to stabilise for at least 2 hours before being switched on.

Read more about setting up, building in, and installation on pages 13 and 14.

Important information

The refrigerator contains the
environment-friendly, non-ozone­depleting refrigerant R600a. As R600
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 the
refrigerator. Also make sure that there is
good ventilation in the room. If you are
in doubt, please contact your supplier.

Transporting and moving the
refrigerator

The refrigerator must always be moved
in the vertical position. The cabinet must
not be tilted more than approx. 40°. If
the refrigerator 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 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). Then disconnect the
power supply to the refrigerator and
possibly 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.

“HOLIDAY” function

This is the function of minimum energy
consumption necessary for cooling down
the refrigerator’s chamber. It prevents
from formation of bacteria and bad smells
inside the refrigerator’s chamber. During
this function the refrigerator operates
cyclically. Recommendation:

- this function can be switched on for a
longer absence period provided that
the refrigerator’s chamber is empty.
When the function is operating do
not open the refrigerator’s door. “Ho”
indication is shown on the display.

Disposal

If a refrigerator/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.)

Using the refrigerator and accessories

Glass shelves

The glass shelves can be arranged to
give more, or less, space between the
shelves thus allowing flexible cabinet
arrangement (8 and 9).

Extract the shelf by lifting up the left

shelf side (10). Start by removing the
top shelf when you want to clean the
refrigerator or rearrange the shelves.

Bottle shelf

The bottle shelf is suitable for large and
small bottles.

Vegetable drawers

The drawers in the bottom of the
cabinet are suitable for storing fruit and
vegetables. The overlying shelf covers
the drawer and maintains humidity thus
preventing stored food from drying out.

Multi-boxe

The multi-boxes are ideal for all items of
food and can be placed in the cabinet or
the door, whichever is most expedient.
The tight-fitting lids prevent drying out
and save much time in tedious
wrapping and unwrapping. The
multi-boxes are made of material that
remains unaffected by mineral oils, fats
and weak acids.
Multi-boxes can also be purchased as
accessories.

Storage shelves in the door

The shelves in the door can hold
bottles of up to 2 litres. They can be
moved and placed throughout the entire
height of the door.

Defrosting and cleaning

Automatic defrosting

The refrigerator features automatic
defrosting. In some periods, however,
frost may form on the rear wall of the
refrigerator. This normally happens
when many fresh items of food are
stored in the refrigerator or in summer
when the refrigerator is filled with
beverages to be cooled. In situations
such as these the compressor must run
for long periods of time. As automatic
defrosting takes place while the
compressor is at a standstill, the
refrigerator may not defrost completely
before the compressor restarts. In
these instances, manual defrosting is
required.

Warning

It is dangerous to use electrical
apparatus, knives or sharp objects to
speed up the defrosting process.

The refrigerator is best cleaned using
a weak soap solution and a soft cloth.
Never use cleaning agents that scour.
Clean the sealing strip around the door
regularly to prolong its life. Use only
clean water for cleaning the sealing
strip.
The plastic parts of the cabinet cannot
withstand boiling water (max. 85°C). It
is important to prevent water from
getting into the control panel

Clean the melt water drain in the
refrigerator compartment using the
cleaning pin supplied (11).

Remove dust and threads from the
compressor compartment at the back of
the refrigerator with a vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning of doors in stainless
steel or aluminium

Stainless steel or aluminium doors on
GRAM products can, with advantage,
be cleaned with a spray and a soft
cloth. There are a number of different
spraying agents for this purpose on the
market. We recommend that you
contact your usual white goods supplier
for advise on the advantages and
disadvantages of the individual
products.

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 plane. Do not use a frame or similar.
The small wheels mounted at the rear
of the refrigerator make it easy to place
it in the required position.

The refrigerator can be set up
free-standing against a wall or built into
a kitchen cupboard or a refrigerator
element.
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 four 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.
The illustrations 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.

Building into a kitchen element

Building into a kitchen element with
sufficient ventilation around the
refrigerator to dissipate heat from the
compressor. The appliance can stand
direct on the floor or on its plinth. (12)

Building into a refrigerator
element

Building into a refrigerator element
follows the same principle as shown in
illustration 12. (13)

14

Proceed as follows:
Connect the GREEN-AND-YELLOW
core to the plug terminal marked „E” or
by an earth symbol, or coloured GREEN
or GREEN-AND-YELLOW. Connect the
BLUE core to the plug terminal marked
„N” or coloured BLACK.
Connect the BROWN core to the plug
terminal marked „L” or coloured RED

Starting up the refrigerator

Start the refrigerator by plugging into a
wall socket.
If the mains lead has been damaged, it
must be replaced with a corresponding
type supplied by Gram A/S or a Gram
service centre.
The refrigerator incorporates a „stand-by
function” and in the display two
horizontal lines indicate that the power
supply has been connected.
Start the refrigerator by pressing the
start button (1). After approx.
5 seconds, the green light emitting diode
(3) lights to indicate that the refrigerator
is switched on. The actual temperature
in the refrigerating compartment is
shown on the display (6).

Electrical connection

The appliance is intended for
connection to alternating current. The
connection values for voltage (V) and
frequency (Hz) are given on the
nameplate in the cabinet.

Power must be connected via a wall
socket with switch. The wall socket
should be easily accessible.

All earthing requirements stipulated by
the local electricity authority must be
observed. The cabinet plug and wall
socket should then give correct
earthing. If in doubt, contact your local
supplier or an authorised electrician.

WARNING – This appliance must be

earthed
The flexible cord (mains lead) fitted to
this appliance has three cores for use
with a 3-pin 13-amp or 3-pin 15-amp
plug. If a BS 1363 (13-amp) fused plug
is used, it should be fitted with a 13­amp fuse.

IMPORTANT

The cores in this mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:
GREEN-AND-YELLOW: EARTH
BLUE: NEUTRAL
