Safety instructions

General safety

WARNING! Electrocution hazard

• Ensure that the minibar has been installed by a qualified technician by 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 to prevent safety hazards.
• This minibar may only be repaired by qualified personnel. Inadequate repairs may cause serious 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.
• Plug the device into sockets that ensure proper connection especially when the device needs to be grounded.

WARNING! Fire hazard
The refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit is highly flammable and in the event of a leakage combustible gases could build up if the appliance is in a small room. In the event of any damage to the refrigerant circuit:

• 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 no or minimal air flow.
• Keep the installation recess for the minibar free of any electrical components and light sources that during normal or abnormal operation produce sparks or arcs (i.e. relays or fuse boxes).
• Keep the ventilation openings on the device housing or in installations free of obstructions.
• Do not use any mechanical objects or other means to speed up the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not open or damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not use electrical devices inside the minibar unless they are recommended by the manufacturer for that purpose.

WARNING! Explosion hazard
Do not store any explosive substances, such as spray cans with propellants, in the minibar.

WARNING! Health hazard

• For versions with absorption cooling: Never open the absorber unit. It is under high pressure and can cause injury if it is opened.
• This device can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the device in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
• This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the device by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the minibar.

CAUTION! Health hazard
Foodstuff may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

NOTICE! Damage hazard

• Check that the voltage specification on the data plate is the same as that of the power supply.
• Insufficient air flow results in a shortened lifespan and a reduced cooling performance. Observe the minimum spacings when installing the minibar to furniture (refer to the installation manual).
• The insulation of the cooling device contains flammable cyclopentane and requires special disposal procedures. Deliver the cooling device at the end of its life-cycle to an appropriate recycling center.
• Keep the condensate drain clean at all times.
