FOR YOUR SAFETY

Warnings and Safety Advice

 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):

 Switch the device off (pull mains plug, if applicable);
 Ventilate room thoroughly.
 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
label inside the device.
