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 important
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.
Read more about setting up, building in, and installation on pages 12 and 13.

Important information
The freezer contains the environment-
friendly, 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 Domestic A/S
- Your white-goods supplier
- Authorities (the local council, Ministry
of the Environment, etc.)

Using the freezer
Electronic control
The freezer is equipped with electronic
control. The control panel is concealed
behind the freezer door.The freezer
has been factory-set to operate at
optimum temperature, i.e. -18°C. If you
wish to change the preset
temperature, the new setting will be
stored in the electronic control. In case
of power failure, the control will
remember the latest setting when
power to the cabinet is restored.
The electronic control has the following
functions:
· On/off function
· Display of actual temperature
· Temperature setting
· Quick freeze
· Acoustic and visual alarms
· Emergency program in case
of sensor fault
· Service program (not
accessible to user)
· Light-emitting diodes
· Power-saving sensors

Temperature regulation
The temperature in the freezer can be
set from -23 to -14°C by pressing
FREEZE (4) and keeping it
depressed. The set temperature is
shown in the display. Press button
(6) or (7) until the new required
temperature is reached.
A brief acoustic signal will be given
whenever a button is activated.
When activating the buttons Start
(1), Interrupt O (2) or (8),
the action will not become visible on
the display until after approx. 2
seconds.
If there has been a power failure or the
power supply to the freezer has been
disconnected, the control will
remember the latest setting when
power is reconnected.
Temperature inside the
freezer
The temperatures set and displayed
are the average temperatures in the
freezer. Do not change the temperature
setting of your freezer simply because
it becomes warmer in summer. A
temperature increase will be detected
by the freezer, and the compressor will
automatically run longer to maintain
the selected temperature.
Freezing down
Fast freezing down to a low
temperature is important if food quality
is to be preserved. Freezing down is
activated by pressing the freezing
down button (8), and a blue
light-emitting diode (9) shows that the
„Quick freeze” function is on.
You can choose between 24 or 48
hours’ freezing down. It is
recommended to activate „Quick
freeze” two to four hours before filling
the freezer with large quantities of food.
By pressing the button once, „Quick
freeze” is set to 24 hours, and „24” is
shown on the display. By pressing the
button twice, „Quick freeze” is set to 48
hours, and „48” is shown on the
display. By pressing the button once
more, this function is deactivated, and
the blue light-emitting diode is
switched off.
After the „Quick freeze” button is
activated, the symbols „24” and „48”
are displayed for 5 seconds. The
actual temperature in the freezer is
then displayed.
Brief temperature variations
Brief temperature variations are
normal and may occur when for
example fresh items of food are stored
in the freezer or when the door is open
for longer periods. Items of food in the
cabinet will not be affected by these
variations and the temperature will
quickly return to normal.
If the door to the freezer is open for
more than 2 minutes, Alarm E4 is
activated, and an acoustic signal is
given.

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 plane. Do not use a
frame or similar. The small wheels
mounted at the rear of the freezer
make it easy to place it in the required
position.
The freezer can stand freely on the
floor or be built into a kitchen element
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 freezer 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
When building into a kitchen element
ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation around the freezer to
dissipate heat from the compressor.
The appliance can stand direct on the
floor or on its plinth. (11)
Building into a refrigerator
element
Building into a refrigerator element
follows the same principle as shown
in 11 (12).

13
GB
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 appliance plug and wall socket
should then give correct earthing. If in
doubt, contact your local supplier or an
authorised electrician.
WARNING
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 13-amp
fuse.
IMPORTANT
The cores in this mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:
GREEN-AND-YELLOW: EARTH )
BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN:LIVE
These colours might not correspond
with the colour markings identifying
the terminals in your plug.
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 freezer
Start the freezer by plugging into a wall
socket.
If the mains lead has been damaged,
it must be replaced with a
corresponding type supplied by Gram
Domestic A/S or a Gram Domestic
service centre.
The freezer incorporates a „stand-by
function” and in the display two
horizontal lines indicate that the power
supply has been connected.
Start the freezer by pressing the start
button (1). After approx. 2
seconds, the green light emitting diode
(3) lights to indicate that the freezer is
on. The actual temperature in the
freezer is shown on the display .

Gefeliciteerd met uw nieuwe vrieskast
Wij wensen u veel plezier met uw nieuwe vrieskast. Bij het ontwikkelen van de
vrieskast is er rekening gehouden met de verschillende eisen ten aanzien van de
levensmiddelen. De vriesladen verschillen in grootte, zodat er zowel ruimte is voor
kleine producten als voor een grote kalkoen. Om het volle profijt van uw vrieskast
te krijgen is het belangrijk dat u de functies van de kast kent en weet hoe u deze
kunt gebruiken. Lees de bedieningshandleiding daarom zorgvuldig voordat u de
vrieskast opzet en in gebruik neemt. Deze bedieningshandleiding geldt voor
meerdere typen vrieskasten, dus de uitrusting kan van model tot model
verschillen.
Voordat u de vriezer in gebruik neemt
Controleer bij de aankomst dat de kast niet beschadigd is, omdat
transportbeschadigingen aan de handelaar gemeld moeten worden voordat de
vriezer in gebruik genomen wordt. Voordat de vrieskast gevuld wordt, moet deze
aan de binnenzijde met een lauw sopje gereinigd worden. Gebruik hiervoor een
zachte doek. Indien de vrieskast in een koude omgeving (kouder dan +5°C)
opgeslagen is geweest, moet er een rustperiode van minstens 2 uur in acht
genomen worden voordat de kast in gebruik genomen wordt.
Lees over het opstellen, inbouwen en installeren op blz. 26 en 27.

Belangrijke
informatie
De vrieskast bevat het
energiebesparende koelmiddel R600a
dat de ozonlaag niet afbreekt. Omdat
R600a een brandgevaarlijke gas is, is
het belangrijk dat het koelcircuit tijdens
het transport en de installatie niet
beschadigd wordt. Als het koelcircuit
toch beschadigd wordt, moet u het
gebruik van open vuur in de buurt van
de vrieskast vermijden en de kast niet
op het elektriciteitsnet aansluiten. Zorg
ervoor dat de ruimte goed gelucht
wordt. Raadpleeg uw leverancier in
twijfelgevallen.
De vrieskast vervoeren en
verplaatsen
De vrieskast moet altijd verticaal
vervoerd worden. En de kast mag niet
meer dan ca. 40° gekanteld worden.
Als u de kast toch meer dan 40° laat
kantelen, mag de stroom pas
aangesloten worden nadat de kast
minstens 2 uur verticaal gestaan heeft.
Als de koelkast periodiek
niet gebruikt wordt
Als de vrieskast periodiek niet gebruikt
wordt, bv. in uw vakantiehuisje moet u
de kast uitzetten door op schakelaar
o(2) te drukken en de stroom naar
de kast te onderbreken en evt. de
stekker uit het stopcontact te trekken.
Leeg de vrieskast, ontdooi hem en
reinig hem. Laat de deur van de kast
op een kier staan. Hierdoor vermijdt u
dat er een onprettige lucht ontstaat.
Waarschuwing
Oude koelkasten en vriezers zijn vaak
voorzien van ingewikkelde sloten die
kunnen dichtslaan en alleen van
buiten af geopend kunnen worden.
Voordat u een dergelijk model ter
vernietiging aanbiedt, moet u ervoor
zorgen dat u het slot onklaar maakt.
Hierdoor voorkomt u dat bv. spelende
kinderen zich erin kunnen opsluiten en
in levensgevaar komen.
Neem ook de geldende
milieubepalingen betreffende
verschroten in acht.
Verschroten
Als de afgedankte vrieskast
verschroten moet worden, zal dit op
een voor het milieu correcte en
verantwoorde wijze en in
overeenstemming met de geldende
bepalingen gedaan moeten worden.
Neem de milieubepalingen
betreffende verschroten in acht. Het
kan zijn dat er speciale eisen/
voorwaarden zijn die moeten worden
voldaan. U kunt nadere informatie over
verschroten krijgen bij:
- Gram Domestic A/S
- de winkel waar u het product gekocht
heeft
- de overheid (gemeente, ministerie
van milieu e.d.).
