A. AES/AUTO MODE
The AES/AUTO mode of operation takes priority over all
other operating modes. If more than one mode selector
button (2), (3) or (4) is in the down position, the priority is from
left to right.
When operating in this mode, the AES/AUTO mode indicator
lamp (A) will illuminate. In this mode the control system will
automatically select the energy source with AC having top
priority, DC second priority and GAS third priority. If the
control system has selected a particular energy source such
as AC, and then it becomes unavailable, it will automatically
seek out the next available energy source.
Press the AES/AUTO mode selector button (2) to the DOWN
position. Indicator lamp (A) should illuminate. Indicator lamp
(D), (E) or (F) should also illuminate indicating which energy
source the control has selected.
Press the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR button (5) until the
lamp at the desired position is illuminated.
B. AC/GAS MODE
Press the AC/GAS mode selector button (3) to the DOWN
(ON) position. Mode indicator lamp (B) should illuminate.
In this mode of operation the control system will automati-
cally select between the AC and GAS energy sources with
AC having first priority.
The AES/AUTO mode selector button (2) must be in the UP
(OFF) position.
Indicator lamp (D) or (E) should also illuminate indicating
which energy source the control has selected. If the CHECK
indicator lamp (G) illuminates, see GAS MODE for further
instructions.
Press the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR button (5) until the
lamp at the desired position is illuminated.
C. GAS MODE
When operating in the GAS mode, the GAS mode indicator
lamp (C) and (E) will illuminate.
The GAS mode provides LP gas operation only. The control
system will activate the ignition system and will attempt to
light the burner for a period of approximately 45 seconds. If
unsuccessful, the CHECK indicator lamp (G) will illuminate
and the GAS mode indicator lamp (C) will turn off.

To restart GAS operation, press the main power ON/OFF
button (1) to the OFF then ON position. The control system
will attempt a new 45 seconds ignition sequence.
The AES/AUTO (2) and AC/GAS (3) mode selector buttons
must be in the UP (OFF) position.
Press the GAS mode indicator button (4) to the DOWN (ON)
position.
Indicator lamps (C) and (E) should illuminate indicating GAS
operation. After 45 seconds the burner should be ignited and
operating normally.
On the initial refrigerator start-up, it may take longer than 45
seconds to allow air to be purged from the gas line. If the gas
does not ignite within 45 seconds the CHECK indicator lamp
(G) will illuminate and the GAS indictor lamp (C) and (E) will
go off.
To reset when the CHECK indicator lamp (G) is illuminated,
press the main power ON/OFF button (1) to the OFF then ON
position.
NOTE: Do not continue to reset GAS operation if the CHECK
indicator lamp continues to be illuminated after several tries.
If repeated attempts fail to start the LP gas operation, check
to make sure that the LP gas supply tanks are not empty and
all manual shutoff valves in the lines are open. If the problem
is still not corrected, contact a service center for assistance.
Press the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR button (5) until the
lamp (H) at the desired position is illuminated.
If the control is switched to the AES/AUTO or AC/GAS mode
of operation while the CHECK indicator lamp is on, AC or DC
will function properly, but the CHECK indicator lamp will not
go off until the main power ON/OFF button is pressed to the
OFF then ON position.
D. THERMOSTAT
The thermostat on the refrigerator controls both the gas and
electric operation, thereby eliminating the necessity of
resetting each time a different energy source is employed.
After the initial start-up, the thermostat should be moved
from "COLDEST" to the desired temperature setting, usually
about mid-setting.
E. TO SHUT OFF THE REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerator may be shut off while in any mode of
operation by pressing the main power ON/OFF button to the
UP (OFF) position. This shuts off all DC power to the
refrigerator.
