GENERAL INFORMATION
The thermo-electric cooling system Minibar is both reliable and safe.
This cooling system is based on the use of direct current; on the contact surface of two different conducting
substances, on one side (cold side) heat is absorbed, on the other (hot) side, heat is generated (see figure 01).
INSTRUCTIONS
The minibars cannot be installed in the open, even if they are covered by a canopy.
When connecting the minibar do not to use multi-socket extensions and make sure that the cable does not
kink or become compressed if the minibar is being fitted between other elements of furniture.
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, do disconnect the minibar from mains. Indeed,
setting the temperature adjusting knob to ”0” (zero) and consequently switching the refrigerator off does not
remove the risk of electric contact.
Only if the appliance is correctly installed will it give the best possible performance and reliability.
Smeg shall not be responsible for any injuries to persons or damage to property and/or the minibar itself,
which are the result of any installation not complying with the installation procedure shown in this manual.

INSTALLATION
To make sure the minibar is correctly installed it is advisable to guarantee that the refrigeration by practising
opening the door for the entry and exit of the air as shown in figure 02.
VENTILATION
The refrigeration system gives off heat and requires a good level of ventilation and must be placed in a well-
ventilated environment. The minibar should be installed in an environment with an opening to provide the
necessary change of air (see figure 02) and under no circumstances should the grills, which provide good
ventilation for the appliance, be covered or blocked. Also remember never to set the unit in an area directly
exposed to sunlight or near other sources of heat.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND EARTHING
Before connecting the plug to the mains, make sure the mains voltage corresponds to that shown on the
rating plate (located inside the minibar) and that the socket has a normal earthed system as required by
safety regulations for electrical systems. The electrical socket must also be able to support the maximum
power loading of the appliance indicated on the plate itself.
WARNING!
If the socket is not fitted with an earthed system or if multiple sockets or adapters are used, the manufacturer
shall not be liable for any injuries to persons or damage to property and/or the minibar itself.
WARNING!
The user must always be able to access the plug.
USE
When connecting the plug to the mains outlet, the minibar starts operating immediately, unless the
temperature adjusting knob is set to ”0” (zero)” (see figure 03).
HINTS AND TIPS
Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

ENGLISH
TEMPERATURE SETTING
The knob for the temperature adjusting thermostat is located in the upper part of the internal liner
of the refrigerator.
To set the internal temperature, adjust the control knob according to the ambient temperature or
based on the use the refrigerator is intended to.
The temperature control range is comprised of the following levels:
• position 0 = refrigerator off
• position 1 = minimal refrigeration (higher internal temperature)
• position 2 = medium refrigeration (intermediate internal temperature)
• position 3 = maximum refrigeration (lower internal temperature)
When the surrounding temperature is 25°C and the appliance has no foodstuffs in it, it will take
around 3.5 hours to decrease the temperature from 25°C to 17°C (with thermostat on setting 1).
The recommended thermostat setting is the setting 1 of thermostat.
APPLYING THE DRAFT
(see figure 04)
The draft is a device - consisting of two parts, A and B - which connects the door of the Minibar to
the door of the piece of furniture it is fitted into, both when opening and when closing.
To install the draft, proceed as follows:
• screw the part A onto the door of the Minibar;
• open the door of the Minibar by 90°;
• screw the part B, perfectly horizontal, to the inside of the leaf of the piece of furniture, and fit
it into the part A so it can work as a sliding guide;
• fasten the lower part of the refrigerator to the base of the cabinet containing it by means of the
brackets C.
REVERSING THE DOOR OPENING SIDE
(see figure 05)
In the built-in models, the door can be hooked to the door of the cabinet housing it through a
special towing device, which enables simultaneous opening (dragging system). In the case where
the door opens on the opposite side to the cabinet door, it can be reversed as follows:
• undo the screws holding the pin E to the fridge structure;
• remove the cover F;
• unscrew the screws securing pin D to the fridge structure;
• screw pin G into the position previously occupied by pin D;
• screw pin D into the position previously occupied by pin E;
• reposition the cover F on the opposite side of the structure.
