INSTALLATION
Selecting a Suitable Location
When selecting a position for your unit, ensure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated.
Avoid placing your unit near a heat source (i.e., oven, radiator, or hot water system). Avoid direct sunlight
as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold temperatures may also cause the unit to not
perform correctly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoors. Do not drape the unit with any
covering.
When installing the unit, ensure that 10cm of free space is allowed to the left, right and rear of the unit, and
30cm at the top. This will allow cold air to circulate around the unit and improve the efficiency of the
cooling process.
Door Space Requirements
Levelling the Unit
Figure 1a
The unit’s door must be able to open fully as pictured in
Figure 1a.
To level the unit, adjust the two feet at the front of the
unit – turning clockwise to extend and counter-
clockwise to reduce as shown in
Figure 1b.
If the unit is not level, the door and magnetic seal
alignments will not be covered properly, leading to
inefficient refrigeration performance
Ensure that the feet all touch the ground before use.

FIRST TIME USE
Power Source and Grounding
It’s recommended to use the fridge on its own dedicated power outlet for both convenience and safety.
The power outlet must be grounded.
Important! If the supply cord is damaged, cease use and ensure the appliance is completely disconnected
from the power supply.
The power cord must be replaced by Glen Dimplex or an authorised service agent on Glen Dimplex’s
behalf before it is reconnected.
Cleaning Before Use
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda, then rinse with warm water using a
soft fibre cloth or sponge. Wash the shelves and drawers in warm soapy water and dry completely before
replacing in the unit. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Further cleaning instructions and tips
can be found on page 14.
