GB
6. Ventilation grills, if used, must have an free
openings of at least 200 cm² each
During installation, please ensure the mains plug
is accessible at all times.

5. Using the appliance

To start the refrigerator connect the plug to the socket
outlet and switch on the socket. The cooling fins
should show signs of cooling after about 1-2 hours
depending on ambient temperature.

5.1. Initial operation

The device must be plugged into a properly earthed
socket.
The miniCool starts automatically with a self-test.
The LED flashes several times and after a while
continuous light will follow if the door is open.
The miniCool achieves its operating temperature
after several hours.

5.2. Temperature regulation

The usual setting required is in the region of the middle of
the thermostat knob (Fig. 6), but this can vary with
conditions of load and installation. If it is found necessary
to change the setting, the knob can be turned to a higher
symbol to give a lower temperature, or a lower symbol to
givea higher temperature. The effect of any adjustment
can be checked by means of a thermometer when the
refrigerator has reached the new temperature after some
hours.

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 the LEDs of the
interior light will begin to flash continously. If this
happens you should check whether the refrgerator 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 the
countinous flashing comes back there is a problem
and you should then contact Dometic service.
6. Useful suggestion
Do not overfill the appliance. Put warm foods and drinks
in the appliance only when they have cooled down to
room temperature. 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.
7. Defrosting, cleaning and
maintenance
Frost will gradually form on the cooling fins and it must
not be allowed to become too thick since it restricts
the cooling.

(fig. 2.)
The miniCool 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 7) The defrost water will evaporate
automatically into the circulating air and the vessel
will not need emptying.
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.

7.1. 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.

8. Interior light

Two light-emitting diodes (A) on an electronic PCB
illuminate the cooling compartment when the door
is opened.
Two sensors (B) control whether the door is open
or not and the LEDs will work accordingly.

9. Reversing the door hang

Disconnect the mains.
Lay the appliance on its side.
Remowe the 6 screws (1) from the foot frame
and also the screw in the mid of the air grill and
take the frame down.
Put the fridge on a desk to ease the work.
Open the door and snap out the fixing tab (2) of
the upper hinge pin by the help of screwdriver
and push out the pin. (fig. 10.)
Remove the door and the hinge washer.
Remove the bottom hinge pin (3) and the upper
and lower hinge plug (4) in the same way as in
case of the upper hinge pin.
Snap in the lower hinge pin (3) to the desired side.
Put back the door and the hinge washer and
snap in the upper hinge pin (2).
Snap in the 2 hinge plugs (4) too.
Put the foot frame back and fit it with the 7 screws
10. Replacing the decorative
door panel
If the refrigerator is furnished with handle, it is the
handle that should be first removed at the change
of the door panel.
Remove the mounter screws (1) of the forehead
panel (3).
Remove rosette (2) (in case of with lock version
fridge).
Lift and remove the forehead panel.(3)
Slide the decorative panel (4) out of the door frame
and insert the new panel (thickness max. 2 mm).
