Notes
Dometic Corporation provides a wide choice of refreshment centers ranging in capacity from 1.1 to 2.1 cubic feet. Models are available for built-in or freestanding installation. The fully automated AutoClassic series provides the best of both worlds ... the open-shelf convenience of an honor bar with the security and control of an electronic vendor. The guest opens the door and takes a product of his or her choice. An infrared sensor reports consumption on-line real-time to the hotel's PMS computer, which posts it to the guest's bill. All Dometic refreshment centers cool with the silent and maintenance-free absorption system, using modern fuzzy-logic technology that ensures low energy consumption. They have interior lighting, adjustable shelving, and fully automatic defrost.Models designed to be built into furniture are supplied with a sturdy rapid-installation system and doors that can be hung either left or right.
