Congratulations on your new GRAM
refrigerator/freezer
Congratulations on your new refrigerator/freezer. The refrigerator/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 refrigerator/freezer as possible, it is
important that you become familiar with the its functions and know how to use the
accessories. Please read the instructions for use carefully before setting up and
using your refrigerator/freezer.
As these instructions apply to several refrigerator/freezer models, the equipment
may vary from model to model.
Before using the refrigerator/freezer
On receipt, check to ensure that the refrigerator/freezer 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/freezer with items of food, the refrigerator/freezer
interior should be cleaned with lukewarm water containing a mild detergent. Use
a soft cloth. If the refrigerator/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 13, 14 and 15.

The refrigerator/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 refrigerator/freezer and
connecting power to the refrigerator/
freezer. 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/freezer
The refrigerator/freezer must always be
moved in the vertical position. The
cabinet must not be tilted more than
approx. 40°. If the refrigerator/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 refrigerator/freezer is
to remain unused for a time
If the refrigerator/freezer is to remain
unused for a time, e.g. in a
summerhouse, switch refrigerator and
freezer off by pressing the buttons
(1) and then disconnecting the
power supply to the cabinet and
possibly pulling the plug out of the wall
socket.
GB
Important information
Empty, defrost and clean the
refrigerator/freezer. Leave the doors to
the refrigerating and freezing
compartments slightly ajar. This will
prevent bad smells in the cabinets.
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 on
disposal.

the refrigerating compartment is then
displayed.
Brief temperature variations
Temperature inside the
refrigerator/freezer
The temperatures set and displayed are
the average temperatures in the
refrigerator/freezer.This is the case for
both the refrigerating and freezing
compartments. Do not change the
temperature setting of your refrigerator/
freezer simply because it becomes
warmer in summer. A temperature
increase will be detected by the
refrigerator/freezer and the compressor
will automatically run longer to maintain
the selected temperature.

and may occur when for example fresh
items of food are stored in the refrigerator/
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.
The interior light is turned on when the
door to the refrigerating compartment is
opened. When the door is closed again,
the light remains switched on for about 5
seconds. If the door is still open about two
minutes later, the interior light is turned off.

Using the refrigerating compartment
and accessories
Glass shelves
The glass shelves can be arranged to
give more, or less, space between the
shelves thus allowing flexible refrigerator/
freezer arrangement (11 and 12).
Extract the shelf by lifting up the left shelf
side (13). Start by removing the top shelf
when you want to clean the refrigerator or
rearrange the shelves.
The glass shelves can be tilted for storing
large and opened bottles.To tilt the shelf,
turn the rear fitting.
Bottle shelf
The bottle shelf is suitable for large and
small bottles.
Vegetable drawers
The drawers at the bottom of the
refrigerating compartment are very
suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
The overlying shelf covers the drawer and
maintains humidity thus preventing stored
food from drying out.
Multi-boxes
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. They
withstand temperatures up to 100°C and
can be cleaned in a dishwasher, but they
must never be placed close to the heating
element.
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.

11
The refrigerating compartment features
automatic defrosting. In some periods,
however, frost may form on the rear wall of
the refrigerator. This normally happens
when many fresh food items 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 to cool the food items. As automatic
defrosting takes place while the
compressor is at a standstill, the
refrigerator may not defrost completely
before the compressor restarts. In
situations such as these manual
defrosting is required or help must be
called in to change the defrost function.
Manual defrosting of
refrigerating compartment
Stop the refrigeration compressor by
pressing the upper button (1),
Any loose frost on the evaporator can be
removed using a plastic or wooden
scraper. Never use a knife or a sharp
object as these can damage the
evaporator.
GB
14
Using the freezer compartment and
accessories
The whole of the freezer can be used
for freezing down and for the long-term
storage of frozen items of food. In
addition, KF 350 comes equipped with
a freezing tray for berries, etc.
Defrosting and cleaning
Automatic defrosting of
refrigerating compartment Manual defrosting of
freezing compartment
It is recommended to defrost the freezing
compartment at least once a year. Stop the
freezing compressor by pressing the
lower button (1).
Remove all items from the freezer.To keep
them as cold as possible during defrost,
they can be placed in the refrigerating
compartment. Place a bowl containing hot
water (not boiling) in the freezer.
Pull out the drain spout and place a bowl
under it to receive defrost water. When the
ice has melted, clean out the freezer using
water and a mild washing-up liquid. Dry
the freezer with a soft cloth.

Warning
It is dangerous to use electrical apparatus,
knives or sharp objects to accelerate
defrost.
Cleaning
Stop the refrigeration compressor by
pressing the upper button (1)
and disconnect the power supply to the
refrigerator/freezer.
The cabinet 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
refrigerating compartment using the
cleaning pin supplied (15).
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. However, we would point out
that GRAM has good experience with
the following cleaning agents:
For stainless steel products:

Setting up and installation
Where to place the
refrigerator/freezer
For safety reasons the refrigerator/
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 refrigerator/
freezer make it easy to place it in the
required position.
The refrigerator/freezer can stand freely
on the floor or be built into a kitchen
element or a refrigerator element.
It is important that the refrigerator/
freezer stands completely level and
that there is good air circulation over,
under and around it. The appliance
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.

14
GB
16 17
Building into a kitchen
element
When building into a kitchen element
ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation around the refrigerator/
freezer to dissipate heat from the
compressor. The appliance can stand
direct on the floor or on its plinth. (16)
Building into a refrigerator
element
Building into a refrigerator element
follows the same principle as
described under 16. (17)
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

Wij wensen u veel plezier met uw
nieuwe GRAM koel-/vrieskast
Wij wensen u veel plezier met uw nieuwe koel-/vrieskast. Bij het ontwikkelen van
de koel-/vrieskast is er rekening gehouden met de verschillende eisen die
levensmiddelen aan het bewaren stellen. Sommige moeten koud bewaard
worden - andere hebben een wat hogere temperatuur nodig. Sommige moeten
afzonderlijk bewaard worden zodat ze de andere levensmiddelen niet met hun
smaak en geur beïnvloeden. En de meeste hebben een hoge luchtvochtigheid
nodig om vers en knapperig te blijven. Om zoveel mogelijk plezier van uw koel-/
vrieskast te hebben, is het belangrijk dat u de functies van de kast kent en weet
hoe u het toebehoren kunt gebruiken. Lees de bedieningshandleiding daarom
zorgvuldig voordat u de koel-/vrieskast opzet en in gebruik neemt. Aangezien de
bedieningshandleiding voor een aantal typen koel-/vrieskasten geldt, kan de
uitrusting van model tot model variëren.
Voordat u de koel-/vrieskast in gebruik neemt
Controleer bij de aankomst dat de kast niet beschadigd is, omdat
transportbeschadigingen aan de handelaar gemeld moeten worden voordat de
koel-/vrieskast in gebruik genomen wordt. Voordat de kast gevuld wordt, moet
deze aan de binnenzijde met een lauw sopje van een zacht afwasmiddel
gereinigd worden. Gebruik hiervoor een zachte doek. Indien de koel-/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.
