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-ozone-
depleting 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.
Disposal
If a refrigerator 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.)

Brief temperature variations
Brief temperature variations are
normal and may occur when for
example fresh items of food are stored
in the refrigerator 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
refrigerator door is opened. When the
door is closed again, the light remains
switched on for about 5 seconds. If the
door is still open about 2 minutes later,
the interior light is turned off. Alarm E4
is displayed and an acoustic signal is
given.

Alarm
Normal use of the refrigerator may give
rise to various disruptions with
unstable refrigerator function as a
consequence. These disruptions are
shown on the display by means of an
alarm code (an E followed by a
number), and an acoustic signal is
given.
In case of several faults, the alarm
codes will be displayed in turn.

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.
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 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. They
withstand temperatures up to 100°C
and can be cleaned in a dishwasher,
but 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.

Cleaning
Stop the compressor by pressing
button O (2) and disconnect the
power supply to the refrigerator.
GB

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.
Manual defrosting
Stop the compressor by pressing
button O(2) and disconnect the
power supply to the refrigerator.
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.
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.
Connect the current and restart the
refrigerator by pressing start button
(1).

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
Domestic A/S or a Gram Domestic
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. 2
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).
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 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 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.

Gefeliciteerd met uw nieuwe GRAM
koelkast
Wij wensen u veel plezier met uw nieuwe koelkast. Bij het ontwikkelen van de
koelkast is er rekening gehouden met de verschillende eisen ten aanzien van de
levensmiddelen. 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 koelkast 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 koelkast opzet
en in gebruik neemt. Deze bedieningshandleiding geldt voor meerdere typen
koelkasten, dus de uitrusting kan van model tot model verschillen.
Voordat u de koelkast in gebruik neemt
Controleer bij de aankomst dat de kast niet beschadigd is, omdat
transportbeschadigingen aan de handelaar gemeld moeten worden voordat de
koelkast in gebruik genomen wordt. Voordat de koelkast gevuld wordt, moet deze
aan de binnenzijde met een lauw sopje van een zacht afwasmiddel gereinigd
worden. Gebruik hiervoor een zachte doek. Indien de koelkast 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. 28 en 29.
