Using The Appliance; Temperature Regulation; Energy Saving Tips; Cooling Unit Control (Cuc) - Dometic miniBar RH 430LD Operating Instructions Manual

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 3 hours.
The refrigerator needs about 6 hours at normal
ambient temperature to reach 6 °C in the storage
compartment.
You can set a temperature between max. and min. by
rotating the knob (Fig.5).
Turn to max. will produce a colder temperature and higher
energy consumption; and turn to min. will produce a warmer
temperature and lower energy consumption.

Choose a well ventilated installation location which is
protected against direct sunlight.
Allow warm food to cool down first before placing it in the
device to keep cool.
Do not open the cooling device more often than necessary.
Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.
lf you want to set an increased energy efficiency and a
limited cooling capacity for the cooler unit,turn the knob to
min..
The electronics carry out a CUC test after every
defrosting period (every 24 hrs) by measuring the
temperature at the evaporator by means of a second
sensor.
If the electronics detect a malfunction, the miniBar is
automatically switched off .
One version of minibar has no CUC function but
a thermo fuse on the back to protect the cooling
unit against over heating.
Do not overfill the appliance. 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.
Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces.

(
This frost-formation is kept back by the FUZZY
LOGIC system built into the appliance by switching
off the unit for two hours in every 24 hours. 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.6) The defrost water will evaporate
automatically into the circulating air and the vessel
will not need emptying manually.
If you want 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.
