USER MANUAL KFL 31501 E GRAM

Please note that these instructions apply to all KS models and therefore the acces- sories/equipment described can vary from model to model. 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 environ- mental rules on disposal. See section “Disposal”. Please read the section on setting up and building in, starting up, temperature control and electrical connection before using your refrigerator. On receipt, check to ensure that the refri- gerator has not become damaged in trans- port. Transport damage should be repor- ted to the local supplier before the refrige- rator is put to use. Fold out the final pages with illustrations. You will then be able to follow text and pictures at the same time. For safety and operational reasons, do not set up the refrigerator outdoors. Your refrigerator should be placed in a dry room. The refrigerator is designed for tempera- ture class N in accordance with European standard EN 153. The surface on which the appliance is placed must be plane. Do not use a plinth or similar. Never place the refrigerator close to sour- ces of heat such as ovens or radiators, and avoid placing it in direct sunlight. It is important that the refrigerator stands completely level and that there is good air circulation over, under and around it. The dimensions give the actual size of the opening. The figures in brackets apply to combination units. Single cabinets require a circulation area of at least 200 cm

1A Building in with ventilation grill Refrigerator or refrigerator/freezer combination in a standard kitchen ele- ment with sufficient ventilation for the compressor around the refrigera- tor/combination. 1B Building into a refrigerator element Refrigerator or refrigerator/freezer combination with integral ventilation. Air flows in through the plinth and is led to the rear of the cabinet. The appliance is intended for connection to alternating current. The connection valu- es 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.

Congratulations on your new refrigerator Before using your refrigerator Setting up and building in Electrical connection37 All earthing requirements stipulated by the local electricity authority must be obser- ved. The appliance plug and wall socket should then give correct earthing. If in doubt, approach your local supplier or aut- horised electrician. WARNING The flexible cord fitted to this appliance has three cores for use with a 3-pin 13- amp or 3-pin 15-amp plug. If a B.S. 1363 (13-amp) fused plug is used, it should be fitted with a 13-amp fuse. IMPORTANT The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: GREEN-AND-YELLOW: EARTH BLUE: NEUTRAL BROWN: LIVE The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance might not correspond with the colour marking identifying the termi- nals in your plug. Proceed as follows: Connect the GREEN-AND-YELLOW wire to the plug terminal marked “E” or by an earth symbol, or coloured GREEN or GREEN-AND-YELLOW. Connect the BLUE wire to the plug terminal marked “N” or coloured BLACK. Connect the BROWN wire to the plug terminal marked “L” or col- oured RED. Illustration shows how easy it is to change the door from righthand to left- hand-hinged - or vice versa. Lay the cabinet on its back with door uppermost.

Take off the door handle using an ordi- nary screwdriver. To take off the door, remove the screws with a key. When the door is removed, one hinge rem- ains attached to the door. This hinge must be removed before the door is refitted. Move the hinge pin to the opposite si- de. Note that the pin must be fitted “oppo- site hand”, i.e. it must be turned 1/4 of a turn. It might be necessary to use pliers to draw the pin out from the top. Move the dummy hinge to the opposite side. Place the door and fit the accompanying hinge in place of the dummy hinge. When refitting the door, a 9 mm packer (wood or similar material) should be inser- ted at the lower hinge, between the front of the cabinet and the door edge, to create sufficient clearance for the sealing strip. Remember to place the correct number of washers beneath the lower hinge to ensu- re that the door is at the correct height. Refit the door handle. If during transport the refrigerator has been laid down, or if it has been stored in cold surroundings (colder than +5°C) it must be allowed to stabilise for at least 1 hour before switching on. Start the refrigerator by plugging the lead into a wall socket. When the refrigerator is connected an alarm will indicate that it is too warm and that there has just been a power failure. See ”Alarm” for instruction on switching off the alarm. Illustration shows the electronic opera- ting panel. Electronically controlled refrigerators are

factory-set to run at optimum temperatures and can be operated with the TEMP key

By pressing the key and holding it down, you will in a moment or two see the actual temperature setting on the display. This setting will remain on the display for about 3 seconds. By keeping the key pressed down it is possible to change the setting. See below. Press TEMP and keep it held down. You will in a moment or two see the actual set- ting on the display and the small lamps will light up, one after the other, along the scale. When the end of the scale is rea- ched all lamps will go out for an instant before starting to light up again. Release the TEMP key when the lamp opposite to the temperature you require lights up. The refrigerator will now run at this new setting. Press the TEMP key as under “Changing the temperature” and release the key the moment that all lamps go out - before they light up again. This switches off the refrige- ration function and the refrigerator can be cleaned. It will still be possible to read off the actual temperature for about 2 hours, then this function too will cease automati- cally. Start the refrigerator again by setting a temperature. See “Changing the tempera- ture”. After power failure the cabinet starts auto- matically. As soon as power is restored, the

cabinet runs and the alarm is activated (see section on alarm). The alarm activates if the power fails, or if the cabinet temperature remains 6°C high- er than the setting for more than two hours. The alarm will continue even after the tem- perature has returned to normal, just to tell you that something went wrong. Alarm on starting Your new GRAM model has not been con- nected to a power supply since it was test- ed at the factory, therefore the electronic control “thinks” there has been a power failure when you connect up the refrigera- tor in your kitchen and thus the alarm acti- vates accordingly. Deactivating the alarm Press the TEMP key and keep it held down. After a moment or two the display will show the set temperature. To deactiva- te the alarm, release the key as soon as the setting appears. If the sensor fails, an emergency program- me takes over temperature control until the installer/service technician arrives. Short-lived temperature deviations are nor- mal. They occur when: - the refrigerator is filled with fresh items, - the door is left open longer than usual, - the evaporator defrosts. Some of the lamps on the temperature scale light up when the temperature devi- ates. Such deviations do not affect items of food stored in the refrigerator and the tem- perature quickly returns to normal. Power failure Alarm Changing the temperature Switching off for cleaning/defrosting Emergency programme Short-lived tempera- ture deviations39 The refrigerator has fully automatic defro- sting controlled by a sensor and refrigerati- on is started only when the refrigerating element has been completely defrosted. If an unusual amount of frost should col- lect, manual defrosting is possible by switching off refrigeration at the control. Switch off refrigeration as described in the section concerning switching off for clea- ning/defrostning. The refrigerator is best cleaned with a weak soap solution (max. 85°C). Never use cleaning agents that might scratch. Clean the sealing strip around the door regularly to prevent discolouration and pro- long its life. Remove dust and threads from the com- pressor compartment with a vacuum clea- ner. The refrigerator is to remain unused for a time After the refrigerator has been defrosted and cleaned, leave the door slightly ajar. This will prevent bad smells. Compressor does not run - Check the temperature setting. - Check to ensure that power is switched on and that the plug has been properly inserted into the wall socket. Unfamiliar sounds Can be caused by tubes in the appliance contacting each other or the outer clad- ding. - Check to make sure the refrigerator is standing level. The short shelf can be tilted and used as a bottle shelf. To tilt the shelf, lower the rear bearer down to the next shelf support. Special to cabinets with chilling com- partment The refrigerator/chiller is divided into a refrigeration compartment and a chilling compartment by a glass shelf with air damper. To preserve the division into refri- geration and chilling compartments, the shelf and the bottle shelf positioned oppo- site it in the door must not be moved. The temperature in the chilling compart- ment can be regulated with the damper . The more the damper is opened, the greater becomes the flow of cold air from the refrigeration compartent down into the chilling compartment. Vegetable drawers The drawers in the bottom of the refrigera- tor are very suitable for storing fruit and vegetables. The overlying shelf covers the drawer and prevents stored items from drying out. Serving boxes in the door The boxes are ideal for all kinds of food. The tight-fitting lids prevent drying out and save much time in tedious wrapping and unwrapping. The serving boxes are made of material that is not affected by mineral oil, fats and weak acids. They withstand temperatures below 0°C and up to 100°C and can be cleaned in a dishwasher, but must never be placed close to the heating element. Serving boxes can also be purchased as accessories. Bottle shelves in the door The bottle shelf can be adjusted in height by moving the special fitting to another set of holes in the shelf . The bottle shelf can be adjusted in steps of 10 cm.

Using the cabinet, accessories Useful hints40 Liquid noice Caused by circulating refrigerant. This is quite normal, even when the compressor is not running. Note also The compressor starting system often needs a pause before it can be restarted. The compressor will itself automatically decide how long the pause is to be. Blocked defrost/melt water drain If blockage does occur, the most likely point is the plastic bend at the outlet inside the cabinet. Carefully remove the blocka- ge, then for safety’s sake clean the bend with a pipe cleaner or similar. If the problem persists, the blockage might be in the tube down to the evaporation tray. The tray is located above the com- pressor at the rear of the refrigerator. When ordering spare parts, please give the refrigerator type and part number. This information is given on the nameplate inside the cabinet. With a screwdriver, loosen the pins holding the lamp screen. . Lift the screen and replace the old bulb with a new one (max. 15 W). If a refrigerator for which there is no longer any use is to be disposed of, please do so in an environmentally correct way. There might be special requirements/conditions to be observed. You can obtain information on the disposal of refrigeration appliances from: - GRAM Domestic A/S - Your white-goods supplier
