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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION The refrigerator 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 and connecting power to refrigerator.
Please observe the environmental rules on disposal. There might be special requirements/conditions to be observed. Information on disposal can be obtained from: - Gram A/S - Your white-goods supplier - Authorities (your local council, Ministry of the Environment, etc.)
