Frequently Asked Questions - GF/100 Gamko

How to set the temperature of the GF/100 freezer?

Use the electronic thermostat XR70CX. To display the setpoint, press and release the SET button immediately. To modify the setpoint, hold the SET button for 3 seconds until the C° icon flashes, then use the arrows to adjust. Wait 10 seconds or press SET to confirm.

What to do if the freezer does not start?

First check the electrical outlet and power supply. Make sure the fuse is not defective and the switch is in the on position. If the problem persists, contact your maintenance service.

How to clean the Gamko GF/100 freezer?

Use water and a mild detergent. Never use abrasive or harsh products. Clean the magnetic seals regularly with a soft cloth. Do not disassemble fixed parts to clean the machine compartment.

What type of refrigerant does this freezer use? Is it dangerous?

The GF/100 uses R600a (isobutane), a flammable natural refrigerant. In case of leakage, ventilate the room, avoid flames, and contact a technician. Contact with the liquid can cause cold burns: rinse with water for 15 minutes and consult a doctor.

Can I use an extension cord?

It is not recommended to use an extension cord. If necessary, have the cable extended by an authorized electrician. The product requires a separate cable for its power supply.

How to replace the door gasket?

Regularly check the condition of the magnetic gasket. If it is cracked or the door no longer closes properly, replace it. To obtain a replacement gasket, contact your maintenance service.

Is it normal for the freezer to make noise?

Some noises are normal (compressor, fan). If the noise becomes excessive, check that the appliance is level and that nothing obstructs ventilation. Contact maintenance service if the noise persists.

How to defrost the GF/100 freezer?

The manual does not specify an automatic procedure. In case of frost accumulation, perform a manual defrost: unplug the appliance, remove the food, leave the door open, and collect the melting water. Never use sharp objects to remove ice.

Where is the rating plate located?

The rating plate is located inside the freezer. It indicates the type number, refrigerant, power consumption, power supply, current, climate class, year of manufacture, and unique registration code.

What to do in case of a power failure?

In case of a power failure, avoid opening the door unnecessarily to maintain the temperature. If the failure lasts, consume perishable food quickly. When power returns, wait for the temperature to stabilize before fully loading the freezer.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS BROCHURE IS IMPORTANT FOR THE DISPOSAL OR RE-USE OF THIS PRODUCT AT THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE.

Gamko BV is attentive of the care of the environment and meets all requirements contained in the Directive 2002/96/EC, known as WEEE, or the Directive referring to Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment. This product conforms to the directive 2002/96/EC. At the end of its useful life the product, which is to be processed separate from household waste, should be transferred to a collection point of separate waste from electrical and electronic equipment. The objective of the Directive 2002/96/EC is to combat the increasing volumes of waste from electrical and electronic equipment, to increase the re-use of electrical and electronic equipment ("EEE") and finally to limit the total volume of waste EEE ("WEEE") destined to be disposed of. The symbol of the crossed out waste bin indicates that this product is subject to the application of this Directive. It is the responsibility of the user to transfer the product to specialized collection points, as indicated by local legislation or the distributor. In case of installation of a new product the old WEEE product can be collected by the distributor at the same time. The manufacturer, importer and distributor are responsible for the collection and processing of the waste which is collected directly or through a collection point. The enclosed list contains Gamko BV distributors per country. Any violation of the above mentioned Directive will result in sanction measures in all of these countries. In general Gamko BV applies the "CECED interpretation" (European Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical household appliances) according to which the WEEE legislation is applicable to portable air conditioners, dehumidifiers, window- air conditioning, split systems up to 12 kW, fridge's and plug in freezer compartments. Nevertheless it is possible that in the various member countries differences in legislation are detected. In case some products are not included on the list of WEEE products following national legislation, the national legislation should be adhered to, the WEEE directives applicable to products that are not included in the scope of these national legislations should be omitted. The directive does not apply to products sold outside the European Union. In case the product is to be sold outside the European Union, it is not necessary to adhere to the WEEE directive however; the vendor/distributor has to guarantee that local legislation is being observed. For further information please refer to the local authority for waste collection, the vendor/ distributor/ installer who supplied the product or directly to Gamko.
