In the interests of children's safety:
When disposing of the refrigerator, remove all doors and leave the
shelves inside. This prevents children from being accidentally trapped or
suffocated in the refrigerator.
Never open the cooling unit - it is under high pressure.
Never store explosive substances, such as lighter fuel, petrol, ether or
similar products in the miniBar.
The minibar is not suitable for the proper storage of medications.
The miniBar must be installed in such a way that accidental contact with
the cooling unit (which heats up when in use) is impossible.
The appliance has to be connected to a properly earthed socket in line
with the relevant valid country regulations.
Servicing must only be carried out by authorised service personnel.
Coolants
Ammonia is used as a coolant.
This is a natural compound also used in household cleaning agents (1 litre of
Salmiak cleaner contains up to 200g of ammonia - about twice as much as is
used in the refrigerator). Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protection
(less than 2% of the coolant).
If a leak occurs (which can be easily detected due to the unpleasant smell):
Ÿ Switch the device off (pull mains plug, if applicable);
Ÿ Ventilate room thoroughly.
Ÿ Inform hotel personnel.
For the safety of hotel guests and personnel, it has been established by
inspectors that the coolant poses no threat to health.
WARRANTY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
Warranty arrangements are in accordance with EC Directive 44/1999/CE and the
normal conditions applicable for the country concerned.
For warranty or other servicing, please contact our Dometic Service department.
Any damage due to improper use is not covered by the warranty. The warranty
does not cover any modifications to the appliance or the use of non-original
Dometic parts; the warranty does not apply if the installation and operating
instructions are not adhered to and no liability shall be entertained. Parts can be
ordered throughout Europe from our Dometic Service department.
When contacting customer service, please always state model, product,
MLC-Code and serial number! You can find this information on the model

Connecting the Device to the Electricity Supply
Ÿ The device must be connected to a properly earthed socket in line with
the relevant valid country regulations.
Ÿ Check prior to initial operation that the voltage
noted on the model label corresponds to the
mains voltage.

4.7.1
Attention: For GB Only !
Plug connection (for United Kingdom only)
If a 3-pin plug is used, it should be fitted with a 3 amp fuse,
with other plug types, the circuit should contain a 5 amp fuse.
Warning - This appliance must be earthed.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead of this appliance
are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
GREEN and YELLOW
: EARTH
BLUE
: NEUTRAL
BROWN
: LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows.
1. Connect the GREEN and YELLOW coloured wire to the plug terminal
marked letter E or earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
2. Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked letter L
or coloured red.
3. Connect the BLUE coloured wire to the plug terminal marked letter N or
coloured black.
Moulded-On Plug Version
The mains lead is fitted with a non-rewirable moulded-on plug containing a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse requires replacing at any time, the fuse
cover/carrier should be removed using a small screwdriver to level out. The
old fuse should be replaced by a 3 amp ASTA approved BS1362 fuse and
the fuse cover/carrier must be refitted before the plug is used again.
If the fuse cover-carrier is lost, a replaceement can be obtained from the
Dometic service Shops.
The fuse cover/carrier must be of the same colour as that of the coloured
insert in the base of the plug. In no circumstances must the plug be used
without a correct fuse cover/carrier fitted. .....
7
If the plug supplied on the mains lead is not suitable for the socket in your
home, it should be cut off and disposed of safely, or destroyed, to avoid any
possible shock hazard resulting from the plug being inserted into a 13 amp
socket elswhere in the use. A suitable replacement plug should then be
fitted as given above.

Environmental Advice
miniBars manufactured by Dometic GmbH are free from
CFCs and fluorinated hydrocarbons.
The cooling unit uses ammonia as the coolant (a natural compound of
hydrogen and nitrogen). Cyclopentane, which does not damage the ozone
layer, is used as propellant for the insulation made from PU-foam.
Disposal
In order to ensure the re-use of recyclable packaging materials, these must
be disposed of using local collection systems. The device itself must be
handed over to a disposal company or local council which will guarantee
the correct use of recyclable materials and the proper disposal of the rest.

At an average room temperature of approx. 22°C, it is sufficient to
operate the miniBar with an average thermostat setting.
If possible, always store pre-cooled goods.
Do not expose the miniBar to direct sunlight and do not place it close
to a source of heat.
An unobstructed air circulation in the fridge aggregate must be
ensured.
When removing goods, only open the miniBar briefly.
Switch on the miniBar approx. 12 hours prior to stocking.
