Electrocution Hazard:

• Ensure that the mini fridge has been installed by a qualified technician in accordance with the Dometic installation manual.

• Do not operate the mini fridge if it is visibly damaged.

• If this mini fridge’s power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent safety hazards.

• This mini fridge may only be repaired by qualified personnel. Inadequate repairs may cause serious hazards.

• When positioning the mini fridge, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

• Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the device.

• Plug the device to sockets that ensure proper connection especially when the device needs to be grounded.

Health Hazard:

• For versions with absorption cooling: Never open the absorber unit. It is under high pressure and can cause injury if it is opened.

• This device can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the device in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the mini fridge.

• Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by unsupervised children.

• Children aged from 3 to 8 years are allowed to load and unload the mini fridge.

• Foodstuff may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

Risk of Crushing:

• Do not put your fingers into the hinge.

WARNING! Fire Hazard

• The refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit is highly flammable and in the event of a leakage, combustible gases could build up if the appliance is in a small room. In the event of any damage to the refrigerant circuit:

– Keep naked flames and potential ignition sources away from the mini fridge.

– Ventilate the room well.

– Switch off the mini fridge.

• For mini fridges with R600a refrigerant:

– The refrigeration circuit contains a small quantity of an environmentally friendly but flammable refrigerant. It does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. Any leaking refrigerant may ignite.

– Do not use or store the mini fridge in confined spaces with none or minimal air flow.

– Keep the installation recess for the mini fridge free of any electrical components and light sources which during normal or abnormal operation produce sparks or arcs (i.e. relays or fuse boxes).

• Keep the ventilation openings on the device housing or in installations free of obstructions.

• Do not use any mechanical objects or other means to speed up the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

• Do not open or damage the refrigerant circuit.

• Do not use electrical devices inside the mini fridge unless they are recommended by the manufacturer for that purpose.

WARNING! Explosion hazard

• Do not store any explosive substances, such as spray cans with propellants, in the mini fridge.

To avoid damage to your DOMETIC HIPRO CARE A40SFS, please observe the following notices:

• Check that the voltage specification on the data plate is the same as that of the power supply.

• Only use the cable supplied to connect the mini fridge to the AC mains.

• Never pull the plug out of the socket by the connection cable.

• Insufficient air flow results in a shortened lifespan and a reduced cooling performance. Observe the minimum spacings when installing the mini fridge to furniture.

• The insulation of the cooling device contains flammable cyclopentane and requires special disposal procedures. Deliver the cooling device at the end of its life-cycle to an appropriate recycling center.

• Keep the condensate drain clean at all times.

• Only carry the mini fridge upright.

• Do not place the mini fridge near naked flames or other heat sources (heaters, direct sunlight, gas ovens etc.).

• Ensure that the ventilation vents are not covered.

• Never immerse the mini fridge in water.

• Protect the mini fridge and the cable against heat and moisture.

• Ensure that foodstuffs do not touch the walls of the cooling area.

DANGER! Electrocution hazard

• Do not touch exposed cables with your bare hands.

CAUTION! Electrocution hazard

• Before starting the mini fridge, ensure that the power supply line and the plug are dry.

CAUTION! Health hazard

• Ensure only to put items in the mini fridge which may be chilled at the selected temperature.

• Food may only be stored in its original packaging or in suitable containers.

• Opening the door for long periods can cause significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the mini fridge.

• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.

• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the mini fridge, so that it is not in contact with and cannot drip onto other food.

• If the mini fridge is left empty for long periods:

– Switch off the mini fridge.

– Defrost the mini fridge.

– Clean and dry the mini fridge.

– Leave the door open to prevent mold developing within the mini fridge.
