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 new freezer as
possible, it is important that you become familiar with the freezer’s
functions and know how to use the accessories. Please read this
manual 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 during transportation. Transport damage should be
reported to the local supplier before the freezer is put to use.
It is also highly recommended that your 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 freezer with items of food, the freezer’s 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 +5ºC), it must be allowed to stabilise for
at least 2 hours before being switched on.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The 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 freezer and
connecting power to 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 freezer

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

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

O (2), (diagram on page 13). Then disconnect the

power supply to the freezer and if possible, pull 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 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 freezer

For safety reasons the 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
freezer make it easy to place it in the required position.

The 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
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 freezer’s 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 freezer is tilted
slightly towards the rear to allow the door to close on it’s own.

The illustrations on the following pages (8 & 9), 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 cabinet

Building into a kitchen cabinet with sufficient ventilation
around the freezer to dissipate heat from the compressor. The
appliance can stand direct on the floor or on its plinth. (10)

Building into a freezer cabinet

Building into a freezer cabinet follows the same principal as
shown in illustration 10. (11)
