This appliance contains R600a (the coolant isobutane), natural gas which is very environmentally friendly but flammable. When transporting and installing the equipment it is necessary to make sure that no part of the cooling circuit is damaged. In the case of damage,reduce the flame and ventilate the premises where the appliance is located for a few minutes.DANGERThis product contains a flammable coolant. Do not attempt to repair! All repairs may only be carried out by a qualified person.

THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED SOLELY FOR BEVERAGE COOLING.

INSTALLATIONDo not tilt the minibar more than 45 ° from the vertical position during transport. Protect it from mechanical stress. Deformations, especially in the door area, could negatively affect the performance of the minibar.

  • Place the minibar on a stable and level surface. Use the two adjustable front feet for leveling.
  • Leave enough space around the minibar necessary for proper operation.
  • Do not place minibar in too hot or humid places to prevent damage due to humidity.
  • Do not place the minibar on a  carpet or other delicate surfaces, the heat from the compressor could damage them.

Changing the door openingTo access the lower hinge, you will need to tilt the minibar back. Do not tilt the minibar more than 45 degrees and never place it on its side.To change the door opening direction:

  1. Remove the plastic cover of the upper hinge and put it aside.
  2. Unscrew the 3 screws that secure the metal hinge structure, carefully slide the door off and place it on a soft surface.
  3. Remove the plastic insert on the opposite side of the minibar and door. Then attach the upper door hinge to this side and fasten it with the screws that you previously unscrewed. Replace the plastic hinge cover.
  4. Remove the adjustable foot on the bottom of the minibar and set it aside.
  5. Unscrew the two screws securing the lower door hinge and carefully transfer it to the opposite side of the door. Set the door on the top and bottom hinges before screwing in the hinge (pay extra attention as the door will be loose). Then attach the adjustable foot with the screws to the opposite side of the minibar.

Make sure that you can open and close the door without any problems. Now let the minibar standstill for at least 3 hours. Then you can turn it on.

USEThe temperature control is located at the rear side of the minibar beside the compressor.Before using for the first time, turn on the refrigerator without any beverages and allow it to stabilize.

  1. Clean the interior of the appliance.
  2. Plug the minibar in the socket.
  3. When using for the first time, set the thermostat knob to position 5, i.e. the highest level.
  4. Lower the temperature setting to level 3 after 20 minutes. This setting should be optimal for normal household use.
  5. To switch off the appliance, simply unplug it from the electrical socket.

NOTE:After unplugging the appliance from the socket or after a  power outage, it is necessary to wait 3 – 5 minutes before putting it back into operation. If you try to start the appliance earlier, it will not work.

Tips for effective coolingAdjust the temperature inside the appliance according to the volume of beverages stored and also the ambient temperature.

  •  In winter, set temperature to level 1–2 (outdoor temperature approx. 5–10 °C)
  • In spring and autumn to level 2-4 (outdoor temperature approx. 10-15 °C)
  • In summer to level 4-5 (outdoor temperature approx. 15-25 °C)
  • Inserting more beverages at once, opening the door frequently, or opening the door for a long time leads to increased power consumption.
  • Do not put too heavy or sharp objects or aggressive substances into the minibar.
  • To reduce the moisture and ice forming, never put beverages in unsealed packaging in the minibar. The frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts. Storing uncovered liquids results in a more frequent need for defrosting.
  • Open the door as little as possible during a power outage.
  • Check from time to time if there is sufficient ventilation (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
  •  Under normal temperature conditions at home set the thermostat to a medium value.

Internal temperature differs between individual parts. The lowest temperature is in the backWARNING: If you set the temperature too low, the beverages can freeze. In extreme cases, glass bottles may even burst. Therefore set the temperature carefully.

  •  Do not place heavy (over 20 kg) objects on the refrigerator.
  •  Also, do not place any objects on the refrigerator that may fall when the door is opened.
  • After disconnecting the appliance, wait at least three minutes before reconnecting it.

If you will not use the minibar for longer period of timeIf you do not intend to use the appliance for a long time, do the following:

  • Unplug the minibar from the electrical socket.
  • Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry. Leave the door slightly ajar to avoid moisture build-up inside the appliance.
  • If you do not use the minibar for a  long period of time and do not clean it regularly, it may create an unpleasant odor and mold.

MAINTENANCE

DefrostingOnce the minibar is in operation, the surface freezes. This is part of a completely normal operation. However, if the ice layer is greater than 3 mm, the refrigerator must be defrosted and cleaned to avoid excessive power consumption and inefficient performance.Never use sharp or metal objects to remove the ice when defrosting. You could damage the minibar.

  1. Remove all drinks from the minibar and unplug it from the electrical socket.
  2. Return the temperature selector to its original position after defrosting.

Cleaning

  1. Unplug the minibar from the electrical socket.
  2.  Wash the inside of the appliance using a neutral detergent.
  3.  Dry all surfaces thoroughly.

Note: Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. To ensure the efficient operation of the appliance, the back and bottom of the appliance should also be carefully cleaned. Clean the sealing using soapy water.

  • Unplug the minibar and remove all beverages before you move it.

Note: Never grab the appliance by the door.
