CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW GRAM
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 it’s
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 fridge/freezer with items of food, the fridge/
freezer 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.

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 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.
5

If the fridge/freezer is not to be used for some time
If the fridge/freezer is to remain unused for a time, switch it off by
pressing buttons (1) and (2) for 5 seconds (diagram on page 15).
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 refrigerator. Leave the fridge and
freezer doors 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 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

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
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 fridge/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 fridge/freezer 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.

Building into a kitchen cabinet
Building into a kitchen cabinet with sufficient ventilation
around the fridge/freezer to dissipate heat from the
compressor. The appliance can stand direct on the floor or on
its plinth. (15)
Building into a fridge/freezer cabinet
Building into a fridge/freezer cabinet follows the same
principal as shown in illustration 15. (16)

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 inside the cabinet.
Power must be connected via a wall socket with switch. The wall
socket should be easily accessible.
It is recommended, as with any high tech appliance, that a power
surge protection device be used.
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 10 amp plug.
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.
