During installation, please ensure the

4.1.2. Free-standing version
This version is supposed to be used free-standing.
Cooling unit covers protect the hot parts of the cooling
units. Feet ensure sufficient ventilation.

5. Using the appliance

To start the refrigerator connect the plug to the socket
outlet. The empty refrigerator needs about 6-7 hours
at normal ambient temperature to reach the proper
temperature in the storage compartment.

5.1. Initial operation

The device must be plugged into a properly earthed
socket.
The miniBar starts automatically with a self-test. If
the electronics do not detect any fault, the
refrigerator starts to cool down. If a fault is
detected, the refrigerator stops cooling. If this
occurs, please consult your authorised Customer
Service.

5.2. Temperature regulation

The miniBar is fitted with a fully automatic electronic
temperature regulator. It is not needed to set the
temperature of the storage compartment manually.

5.3. Cooling unit control (CUC)

The electronic checks the function after every
defrosting period (every 24 hours) by measuring the
evaporator temperature drop. If it registers a problem
the refrigerator will shut down and stops cooling. If this
happens you should check whether the refrigerator
has been overloaded, that the door was properly
closed, that the cooling unit ventilation is correct and
that the refrigerator is levelled. After checking, unplug
the refrigerator at least for 10 seconds and plug in
again. This resets the unit and it will function again. If

no sign of cooling there is a problem and you
should then contact Dometic service.

6. Ice cubes

(if available)
Fill the ice tray up to 4/5 with drinking water, cover
with the lid and place the closed ice tray on the ice-
tray shelf. Wipe off any excess water to prevent the
ice tray from freezing to the surface.
To remove the cubes from the ice tray, hold it under
running water. Remove the lid with the ice cubes
from the ice tray and the ice cubes can now be
taken out easily.
7. Useful suggestion
Do not overfill the appliance. If possible, always
store pre-cooled food and/or drinks. It is advisable
to leave some space between the products in the
cabinet to ensure efficient and even cooling. If the
shelves are packed too tightly there may be
unacceptable temperature variations.
8. Defrosting, cleaning and
maintenance
Frost will gradually form on the cooling plate and it
must not be allowed to become too thick since it
restricts the cooling.
This miniBar is fitted with a fully automatic
electronic temperature regulator.
The frost will melt and the defrost water will run
through the drain tube from the drip channel into an
evaporating vessel located at the bottom rear of the
refrigerator. (Fig. 5) The defrost water will evaporate
automatically into the circulating air and the vessel
will not need emptying.
Figure 5.
To switch off the unit, disconnect the refrigerator
from the electricity supply and leave the cabinet
door open. After defrosting the cabinet interior
should be wiped out with a clean, damp cloth.

8.1. Automatic defrost function

The first defrosting phase commences 39 hours
after the start and lasts for two hours.
After this, the device operates for 22 hours at a
time, followed by a defrosting period of 2 hours.
