5 Using your refrigerator

Setting the operating temperature

Illustration of a hand holding a circular component with directional arrows, no text or symbols present

The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.

(Or) Min. Max.

1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)

5 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)

(Or)

Min. = Lowest cooling setting

(Warmest setting)

Max. = Highest cooling setting

(Coldest setting)

The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5°C.

Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.

You can turn off your device by adjusting the thermostat control to the "0" position.

Please note that there will be different temperatures in the cooling area.

The coldest area is just above the vegetable compartment.

The interior temperature also depends on the ambient temperature, the

frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of food kept inside.

Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise.

For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.

Using the interior compartments

Moveable shelves: The distance between the shelves can be adjusted when necessary.

Vegetable drawer: For the storage of fruit and vegetables. Bottle shelf: Bottles, jars and tins can be placed on this shelf.

Cooling

Food storage

The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks.

Store milk products in the intended compartment in the refrigerator.

Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or in the bottle shelf of the door.

Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene bag in the compartment at the very bottom of the refrigerator.

- Attention

Do not store explosive substances or containers with flammable propellant gases (such as-canned cream, spray cans etc.) in the device. There is a danger of explosion.

Defrost

The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The thawing water flows through the drain channel into a collection container at the rear of the device.

During defrosting, water droplets form at the back of the fridge due to the evaporator.

If not all of the drops run down, they may freeze again after defrosting and they can be removed with a cloth soaked in warm water, but never with a hard or sharp object.

Check the flow of the thawed water from time to time. It may occasionally become blocked.

6 Maintenance and cleaning

⚠️ Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.

⚠️ We recommend that you unplug the appliance before cleaning.

⚠️ Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.

Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.

Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.

⚠️ Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.

⚠️ If your refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.

⚠️ To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.

Protection of plastic surfaces

Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they may damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator. In case of spilling or smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.

7 Recommended solutions for the problems

Please review this list before calling the GRAM service. It might save you time and money. This list includes frequent complaints that are not arising from defective workmanship or material usage. Some of the features described here may not exist in your product.

The refrigerator does not operate.

• Is the refrigerator properly plugged in? Insert the plug to the wall socket.
• Is the fuse of the socket which your refrigerator is connected to or the main fuse blown out? Check the fuse.
• Very cold ambient conditions. Frequent opening and closing of the door. Highly humid ambient conditions. Storage of food containing liquid in open containers. Leaving the door ajar. Switching the thermostat control to a colder temperature.
• Decreasing the time the door is left open or using it less frequently.
• Covering the food stored in open containers with a suitable material.
• Wipe the condensation using a dry cloth and check if it persists.

Condensation on the side wall of the fridge compartment.

The compressor is not running

• In case of an electrical cut the refrigerator cannot start up right away as the compressor has to balance the refrigerant pressure in the cooling system of the refrigerator. The alignment of the refrigerant pressure will lead to a postponement of the start up by 6 minutes. Please contact GRAM service if the refrigerator does not start up at the end of this period.
• The refrigerator is in the defrost cycle. This is normal for a full-automatically defrosting refrigerator. The defrosting cycle occurs periodically.
• Your refrigerator is not plugged into the socket. Make sure that the plug is fits properly into the socket.
• Are the temperature adjustments correctly made?
• The power might be cut off.

The fridge is running frequently or for a long time.

• The ambient room temperature may be high. This is quite normal.
• The refrigerator might have been plugged in recently or might have been loaded with food. Cooling down of the refrigerator completely may last for a couple of hours longer.
• Large amounts of hot food might have been put in the refrigerator recently. Hot food causes longer running of the refrigerator until it reaches the safe storage temperature.
• The door might have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time. The warm air that has entered into the refrigerator causes the refrigerator to run for longer periods of time. Open the door less frequently.
• The fridge compartment door might have been left ajar. Check if the door is tightly closed.
• The refrigerator is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the refrigerator temperature to a warmer degree and wait until the temperature is achieved.
• The door seal of the refrigerator may be soiled, worn out, broken or not placed properly. Clean or replace the seal. A damaged or broken seal causes the refrigerator to run for a longer period of time in order to maintain the current temperature.

The food kept in the fridge compartment drawers is freezing.

- The fridge temperature might have been adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the fridge temperature to a warmer degree and check it again.

The temperature in the fridge is very high.

• The fridge temperature might have been adjusted to a very high degree. Change the temperature of the fridge until the fridge temperature reaches a sufficient level.
• The door might have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time; open it less frequently.
• The door might have been left ajar; close the door completely.
• Large amount of hot food might have been put in the refrigerator recently. Wait until the fridge reaches the desired temperature.
• The refrigerator may have been plugged in recently. Cooling down of the refrigerator completely takes time.
