Q: What temperature is set with the SuperCool function of the GRAM KC 494186 FN X?

The SuperCool function of the GRAM KC 494186 FN X does not correspond to a specific fixed temperature, but rather to the maximum cooling position available on this appliance. According to the manual for this model, your appliance offers the following temperature settings: +8 °C +6 °C +5 °C +4 °C +2 °C SuperCool (the most powerful cooling mode) The SuperCool mode activates the maximum cooling of the refrigerator and is particularly useful for quickly cooling freshly stored food or when you need a temperature as low as possible.

Q: What does the error code Pb2 mean on my GRAM Compact 210?

The code Pb2 is not documented in the manual for your GRAM Compact 210. The documented alarm and error codes for this model are: Pr1 : Fault in the temperature sensor of the cold compartment - the device maintains the programmed temperature while waiting for repair Pr2 : Fault in the evaporator temperature sensor - replacement needed AL : Temperature detected below the safety threshold AH : Temperature detected above the safety threshold id : Prolonged door open alarm If your device displays Pb2 , it may be a regional variant or a code not documented in your manual. We recommend verifying that the displayed code is indeed “Pb2” and contacting GRAM technical service to clarify this specific code.

Question 1

How to set the temperature and configure the settings of the GRAM MIDI KG refrigerator?

Accepted Answer

The GRAM MIDI KG has a temperature adjustment system hidden behind the light panel to prevent accidental changes. Here’s how to set up your refrigerator:

Temperature Adjustment

Remove the piece on the far right of the panel by loosening the screws to access the controls
Press the set button lightly - the word "set" will appear on the screen
Press set again - the current temperature will be displayed
Use the up arrow button to increase the temperature or the down arrow button to decrease it
The screen will automatically return to normal operation after 15 seconds of inactivity

Other Available Settings

Manual Defrost: Press and hold the defrost button for 5 seconds
Lighting: A switch under the light panel allows you to turn off all lights

Important: The displayed temperature measures the warmest point in the cabinet and may indicate 2-3°C higher than the actual temperature. For example, if the screen shows 2°C, the actual temperature may be around 0°C.

Question 2

The GRAM KC 494186 FN X refrigerator displays a higher temperature than set - is this normal?

Accepted Answer

A significant discrepancy between the set temperature and the temperature displayed by the thermometer can have several causes. A difference of 8°C as you describe is not normal and warrants investigation.

Checks to perform first:

Door closure - Ensure that the refrigerator door closes properly. A door that does not seal tightly causes a rapid rise in internal temperature.
Air circulation - Check that food items are not blocking the air circulation vents at the back or on the walls of the refrigerator.
Space around the appliance - The refrigerator should have at least 10 cm of free space on each side and at the back for proper condenser ventilation.
Ambient temperature - The room should be between 16°C and 32°C for optimal operation. An excessively high ambient temperature reduces cooling efficiency.
Condenser cleaning - If the appliance has not been maintained for a long time, the condenser may be dirty. Clean the rear grille with a vacuum cleaner.

If after these checks the internal temperature remains too high despite correct settings, this may indicate a problem with the compressor or the cooling system. In this case, contact customer service for a professional diagnosis.

Question 3

What temperature is set with the SuperCool function of the GRAM KC 494186 FN X?

Accepted Answer

The SuperCool function of the GRAM KC 494186 FN X does not correspond to a specific fixed temperature, but rather to the maximum cooling position available on this appliance.

According to the manual for this model, your appliance offers the following temperature settings:

+8 °C
+6 °C
+5 °C
+4 °C
+2 °C
SuperCool (the most powerful cooling mode)

The SuperCool mode activates the maximum cooling of the refrigerator and is particularly useful for quickly cooling freshly stored food or when you need a temperature as low as possible.

Question 4

What does the error code Pb2 mean on my GRAM Compact 210?

Accepted Answer

The code Pb2 is not documented in the manual for your GRAM Compact 210.

The documented alarm and error codes for this model are:

Pr1: Fault in the temperature sensor of the cold compartment - the device maintains the programmed temperature while waiting for repair
Pr2: Fault in the evaporator temperature sensor - replacement needed
AL: Temperature detected below the safety threshold
AH: Temperature detected above the safety threshold
id: Prolonged door open alarm

If your device displays Pb2, it may be a regional variant or a code not documented in your manual. We recommend verifying that the displayed code is indeed “Pb2” and contacting GRAM technical service to clarify this specific code.

Question 5

Why is the red light flashing continuously despite a good temperature?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis of the flashing red light

On the GRAM Compact 210, a red light that flashes continuously generally indicates an alarm or a system error, even if the displayed temperature seems correct.

The control panel has an alarm light that activates during errors or faults. Check the display panel to identify the error code displayed:

Pr1: Fault in the temperature sensor of the cold compartment. The device maintains the set temperature while waiting for intervention.
Pr2: Fault in the evaporator temperature sensor. This sensor needs to be replaced quickly.
AL: Temperature too low detected.
AH: Temperature too high detected.
id: Prolonged door open alarm - check that the door closes properly.

If the door has not been left open and you see a code Pr1 or Pr2, the device is temporarily functioning but requires technical repair of the faulty sensor. For codes Pr2 especially, a replacement should be considered quickly to avoid loss of cooling.

Question 6

What is the capacity in liters of the GRAM KS240 refrigerator?

Accepted Answer

The GRAM KS240 refrigerator has a capacity of approximately 240 liters. This capacity allows for sufficient storage of food for standard household use.
