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.

Important information
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 summer-house, switch refrigerator and freezer off by pressing the buttons
(1), (2) and then disconnecting the power supply to the cabinet and possibly pulling the plug out of the wall socket.
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.

Using the refrigerating compartment and accessories
Glass shelves
The glass shelves can be arranged to give more or less space between them, 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.
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.
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.
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 food items. In addition, the KF 350 comes equipped with a freezing tray for berries, etc.

Automatic defrosting of refrigerating compartment
Automatic defrosting of refrigerating compartment
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.
It is recommended to defrost the freezing compartment at least once a year. Stop the freezing compressor by pressing the lower button ① (1).
