General Information; Safety; Transport; Environmental Protection - Dometic MB 3000 G Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

• The MB3000G has a bank of frozen ice on all the four sides, inside the cabinet. The ice-lining consists of
icepacks with water freezing during its operation. During periods of power failure, the ice bank acts as cold
storage to protect the goods stored in the MB3000G. The unit keeps the temperature of the goods below
+8°C even if electricity is available only for 8 hours a day.
• Before using the MB3000G, read these operating instructions carefully, including all the information on
operating safety, use and maintenance.
• Keep these operating instructions ready at hand and leave them with the unit, so that all users can find out
about the functions and safety regulations.
• Ensure that there is sufficient room around the unit for air circulation. Please refer to the installation informa-
tion regarding this point.

SAFETY

• The unit must only be used by adults. Do not allow children to play with the units or touch the controls.
• All installation work and adjustments to the unit must only be carried out by qualified personal. Work
performed by persons with insufficient technical knowledge may adversely affect the performance of the unit
or cause physical injury or damage to the equipment.
• All servicing and repairs must only be carried out by a qualified customer service engineer. Only genuine
spare parts must be used.
• Ensure that the connecting cable is not squeezed or bent when the unit is being installed or moved.
• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work, always switch the unit off and disconnect the mains plug.
Always pull the plug and never the cable. If the plug is not accessible, switch off at the circuit fuse.
• The unit's cooling system contains refrigerant. Both the unit and the products stored inside can be
severely damaged if this system starts to leak. Make sure, therefore, that no sharp or pointed objects come
into contact with the cooling system.

TRANSPORT

• Check whether the unit has been delivered undamaged. If you find that damage has occurred in transit,
immediately contact the delivery service or relevant sales outlet, submitting the delivery note or proof of
purchase. Do not operate a unit that has been damaged in transit! If you are unsure, contact your sales
outlet and ask them.
• The unit must be transported in an upright position only (maximum inclination 45°).

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

• Make your contribution to saving the environment. Bear in mind that orderly and proper disposal is required.
Packaging materials and devices are always recyclable and should be taken for recycling.
• Before scrapping an old unit, remove the door or lid so that children cannot lock themselves inside while
playing.
• When disposing the unit, make sure that it does not get too hot, as combustible gas would cause the
insulating foam to froth up.
• Before scrapping the unit, arrange for the lead accumulator to be removed and disposed of separately.

INSTALLATION

• The unit must be set up in a dry well-ventilated place. Avoid direct sunlight or locating it close to a heat
source. The place must be protected against bearing rain and dust.
• Ensure that the unit is steady and perfectly straight and does not touch any of the units next to it.
• A good air circulation especially around the compressor is essential for trouble-free operation. Keep the ven-
tilation openings of the compressor cover always free from any obstructions. Make sure that a minimum
distance is provided between the MB3000G and any wall or other device located next to it.
