To start the refrigerator, press button A for 2
seconds.
The previously selected operating mode is dis-
played, e.g. 230 which means 230V.
By pressing button A again, you may change the
operating mode to:
230V Operation
If sufficient mains voltage is available (more than
195V), this power source is selected as prime
option. If a solar system capable of powering
the refrigerator is installed, the solar 12V supply
takes priority.

Change the operating mode by pressing button
A again. The respective indicator LED will illumi-
nate.
CAUTION
The 230V mains voltage energy mode should only
be selected where the connected power supply
complies with the value specified on the rating
plate. Any difference in values may result in
damage to the appliance!
CAUTION
In order to prevent discharge of the on-board
battery, 12V operation should only be used while
the motor is running.

(manual energy selection)
Note regarding AES mode:
Upon switching on, the electronics automati-
cally select one of the three possible energy
types: 230V - 12V - liquid gas. The control
electronics automatically ensure that the refrige-
rator is supplied with the optimum source of
energy in each respective case.
Sequence of priority: 1.) Solar (12V -)
12V Operation
The 12V operation is only effective while the
engine is running. The appliance electronic
system features a low-voltage detection. Once
the voltage drops below 10.5V, the appliance
shuts down (manual mode) or switches over to
a different energy source (AU mode).
