Refrigerator operation
4.8 Gas operation with internal
batteries (optional)
An optional battery compartment in the elec-
tronics case for internal (self-contained) power
supply of the electronics is available for the
model variants RMd 85x1 and RMD 85x5
(appliances with electronics).
Left battery compartment
Load the battery compartment with batteries
(8 x AA 1.5 V) before operating the refrigerator.
All operating modes can be selected while the
on-board 12 V DC power supply is active. The
internal voltage is disconnected.
If the on-board 12 V DC power supply is not
present or there is an interruption of the mains
power supply during operation, the electronics
automatically switch to the internal (battery)
power supply.
The refrigerator can now only be operated in
the gas mode.
All LED indicators except the GAS LED are not
lit during operation with internal batteries. The
GAS LED flashes every 15 seconds.
If a button is pressed, the temperature level
LEDs (7) also light.
If the battery voltage is too low, an acoustic
signal (whistle tone) sounds every 15 seconds.
Then replace the batteries in the battery com-
partment.
