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 ☐ (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.)

Product description

The refrigerator is intended for use in a normal household. It is designed for temperature class SN in accordance with European standard EN 153. This

means that the refrigerator will run best at a room temperature of +10°C to +32°C.

Using the refrigerator

Electronic control

The refrigerator is equipped with electronic control. The control panel is concealed behind the refrigerator door. The refrigerator has been factory-set to operate at optimum temperature, i.e. +5°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 · Acoustic and visual alarms · Emergency program in case of sensor fault
• Service program (not

accessible to user)

• Light-emitting diodes • Power-saving sensors
• Start button
• Switch
• Green light-emitting diode indicating that the refrigerator is switched on
• Button for displaying and setting temperature
• Display indicating set and actual temperature
• Button for infinite temperature regulation upwards
• Button for infinite temperature regulation downwards

Temperature regulation

The temperature can be set from +2 to +9°C by pressing button COOL (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 when each button is activated. When activating the buttons Start ☐ (1) and Interrupt ☐ (2), the action will not become visible on the display until after approx. 2 seconds.

If there has been a power failure or the current to the refrigerator has been disconnected, the control will remember the latest setting when power is reconnected.

Temperature inside the refrigerator

The temperatures set and displayed are the average temperatures in the refrigerator. Do not change the temperature setting of your refrigerator simply because it becomes warmer in summer. A temperature increase will be detected by the refrigerator, and the compressor will automatically run longer to maintain the selected temperature.

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.

Alarm codes

E1 - Temperature sensor fault E3 - Evaporator sensor fault E4 - Open door E5 - Temperature too high E6 - Temperature too high at power failure

E1 and E3

One of the temperature sensors has been damaged. Call service. A built-in emergency program maintains an acceptable temperature until the fault is corrected.

E4

The refrigerator door is open for more than 2 minutes. The alarm code disappears when the door is closed. If the door is opened and closed repeatedly within a short space of time, the interior light will eventually switch off.

E5

The temperature in the refrigerator has been higher than the set temperature for more than 2 hours.

E6

There has been a power failure, the power supply to the refrigerator has been disconnected, or the temperature in the refrigerator has been higher than the set temperature for more than 2 hours.

Interrupting an alarm

The acoustic alarm can always be interrupted by opening the door and pressing any button.

An alarm code will be displayed even though the reason for the alarm no longer exists. To remove the alarm code, press button ▲ (6) and ▼ (7) simultaneously for 2 to 3 seconds. An acoustic alarm cannot then be given for the next 2 hours.

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-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 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.

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 ☐ (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.

Cleaning

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

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 (1).

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 advice on the advantages and disadvantages of the individual products. However, we would point out that GRAM has good experience with the following cleaning agents:

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 directly 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)

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:

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 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).

You can change the door from right-hinged to left-hinged or vice versa yourself

Illustrations 14-19 show how easy it is to change the doors from right-hinged to left-hinged - or vice versa. (Changing the door from left-hinged to right-hinged is done in the same way, but opposite).

The refrigerator must be switched off and emptied completely.

• Remove the two screws in the hinge top on the righthand side of the cabinet. (14)
• Lift the refrigerator door slightly and take the door and upper hinge off by pulling the door towards you.
• Remove the dummy hinge from the opposite side by unscrewing the two screws. (15)
• Reverse the dummy hinge and refit it on the opposite side of the cabinet using two screws.
• Tilt the refrigerator to an angle of max. 45° and unscrew the lower hinge. This is done by removing the two screws holding the bottom hinge on the cabinet underside. (16)
• Remove the lower dummy hinge on the opposite side in the same way as the upper dummy hinge was removed. (17)
• Reverse the dummy hinge and refit it on the opposite side of the cabinet.
• Reverse the upper right-hand hinge and refit it in the lower left-hand corner of the cabinet.
• Place the cabinet in the correct position again.
• Remove the door handle by removing the screws. (18)
• Reverse the lower right-hand hinge and refit it on the top part of the door on the left side of the cabinet. Push the door into position and slide the upper hinge into the upper left-hand hinge casing. Tighten the two screws. Remember to adjust the hinges.
• Remove the screws on the right-hand side of the door and screw them onto the left side of the door. Use the screws from the left side to attach the handle to the right-hand edge of the door. (19)

Replacing the bulb

Switch off the refrigerator by pressing button ☐ (2) and unplug the mains lead from the wall socket. Screw off the screen. Replace the bulb with a new one (max. 10 W, 12 V, halogen base G4). Refit the screen, connect the power supply and restart the refrigerator by pressing button ☐ (1). (20)
