The minibar is suitable for free-standing use or integration into furniture using the supplied quick-fix sliding hinge. Correct ventilation is essential for efficient cooling, low energy consumption and longer lifespan.

General positioning

• Place the minibar on a stable surface that is level in both directions.
• Do not place the fridge in direct sunlight, next to a heating radiator, window or curtains.
• Never cover ventilation grills or slots.
• The mains plug/socket must be freely accessible once installed.

Built-in ventilation for HiPro NTE series (including N30)

• Ensure chimney-like airflow with air inlet below the unit and air outlet above it; side ventilation must be avoided.
• Free ventilation space for incoming air: at least 200 cm².
• Free ventilation space for outgoing air: at least 200 cm².
• Between the minibar’s back (including cooling unit) and surrounding structure: at least 15–40 mm.
• At the rear of the fridge, leave a minimum 20 mm distance between the cooling unit and furniture wall.
• Ventilation grills, if used, must have free openings of at least 200 cm² each for incoming and outgoing air.
• Air passing through the ventilation duct must not be preheated by any source of heat.

Furniture integration guidance

• As a general guideline for built-in fridges, consider adding 15 mm to height, 30 mm to width and 20 mm to depth to obtain cavity dimensions (not model-specific).
• Place the fridge approximately 10 mm inside the furniture door when integrating.
• Dimensions must conform together with ventilation requirements, measured from the inside face of the furniture door.
• It is advised that a hole is cut out of the back of the furniture to maximise airflow.
• The outflow air vent must exit into free space in the room and must not vent into an enclosed space such as a cupboard, case good or ceiling void.

Minibar-specific principles

• Heat from the cooling unit is emitted at the back of the minibar and must be removed by sufficient ventilation.
• Insufficient ventilation can reduce cooling capacity, increase energy consumption and lower lifespan.
• The entire cooling unit should protrude into the ventilation duct.
• Product warranty is only valid if installed as described in the installation manual.
