Safety instructions

General safety

WARNING: Electrocution hazard

• Ensure that the minibar has been installed by a qualified technician in accordance with the Dometic installation manual.
• Do not operate the minibar if it is visibly damaged.
• If this minibar’s power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent safety hazards.

• When positioning the minibar, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
• Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the device.

  • Keep naked flames and potential ignition sources away from the minibar. Ventilate the room well.
    Switch off the minibar.

• For minibars with R600a refrigerant:

  • The refrigeration circuit contains a small quantity of an environmentally friendly but flammable refrigerant. It does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. Any leaking refrigerant may ignite.
  • Do not use or store the minibar in confined spaces with none or minimal air flow.
  • Keep the installation recess for the minibar free of any electrical components and light sources which during normal or abnormal operation produce sparks or arcs (i.e. relays or fuse boxes).
