ventilation are not very suitable.
The minibar should be installed in a room in which there is a ventilation opening and it is essential not
to obstruct the grilles that allow the appliance to be well ventilated. Avoid positioning the appliance
where it is exposed to directly sunlight or close to other sources of heat. If this is unavoidable, in order
to prevent the proper operation of the product from being compromised, a suitable insulation board
must be used. Otherwise, locate the appliance at least 3 cm away from electrical or gas cookers and at
least 30 cm away from combustion heaters or radiators.
Minimum installation distances:
from the back: 32mm
from the sides: 15mm
from the floor: 7mm (feet adjusted to the minimum, completely screwed in);
25 mm (maximum feet length) if the clearance at the sides is less than 20 mm.
Class Ambient temperature
SN (Subnormal) from + 10° C to + 32° C
N (Normal) from + 16° C to + 32° C
ST (Subtropical) from + 18° C to + 38° C
T (Tropical) from + 18° C to + 43° C
