This refrigerator is equipped with an Auto-
matic Energy Selector (AES) control system,
which can automatically select the most suitable
energy source which is available, either 120 Volt
AC, or LP gas operation. The system can be set
by the user to be fully automatic, or if desired, LP
gas only. The refrigerator controls will work
down to 9.6 volt DC.
WARNING
Most LP gas appliances used in recre-
ational vehicles are vented to the out-
side of the vehicle. When parked
close to a gasoline pump, it is possi-
ble that the gasoline fumes could
enter this type of appliance and ignite
from the burner flame, CAUSING A
FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, it is recom-
mended that all LP gas appliances
which are vented to the outside
should be shut off when refueling.

tem is operating with AC energy and it then
becomes unavailable, the system will automati-
cally switch to GAS. As soon as AC becomes
available again the control will switch back to
AC regardless of the status of GAS operation.
