DC Mode
Note:
Double door models only - Humidity/Storage switch (on Eyebrow panel) must be in Normal operation or High Humid-
ity position for refrigerator to operate.

DC Operation
1. Move thermostat to COLDEST position.
2. Set DC OFF-DC \ ON switch to DC ON. (DC ON will override the AUTO-OFF-GAS switch.)
3. Eyebrow panel will display DC, indicating operation in DC mode.
Shut Down Instructions

No Operation
Short Duration:
Set AUTO-OFF-GAS switch to OFF. Set DC OFF-DC ON switch to DC OFF.
Long Duration:
Set NORMAL-STORAGE-HIGH HUMIDITY switch (located on Eyebrow panel) to STORAGE.
Information Regarding Battery Drain
As indicated in the specifications, a 12 volt DC source is required for operation on gas to provide features of automatic ig-
nition. The current draw is less than 500 milliamps. If the Humidity Heater is also energized, this adds 240 milliamps for a to-
tal of 740 milliamps (.74 amps). This indicates that the drain on the battery is very low and has little effect on "battery run
down" unless these switches are left on for long periods of time on a battery with no means of recharging.
During AC operation, 12 volt DC is required to operate the Humidity Heater, temperature sensing circuit, and the light
display.
On 3-Way models, the DC operation draws approximately 14 amps at 12 volts or 16 amps at 14 volts.
Battery drain should also be considered during times when the refrigerator is stored or defrosted. In this case, the
NORMAL-STORAGE-HIGH HUMIDITY switch should be set to the STORAGE position.
Except for DC operation (3-Way models) it is evident that the 12 volt demand is quite low; nevertheless, the refrigera-
tor should not be operated for long periods of time from a battery only, without a means of recharge (through alterna-
tor or convertor).
