GAS TROUbLESHOOTING
If the Warning indicator lamp (F) is lit, there has been a failure
of gas operation. To troubleshoot, follow these steps:
1.
Turn off the refrigerator. (Press the ON/OFF (
"OFF".)
2.
Check that there is enough gas in the gas bottle, that its
valve is open and that any valves in the gas line to the
refrigerator are open.
3.
Turn on the refrigerator again. (Press the ON/OFF button
(1) to "ON" .) After 10 sec. AES will repeat the ignition
sequence.
4.
Should the warning lamp come on again after approx. 6
minutes, the failure is still present. Repeat the procedure
once more. If this does not help, contact an authorised
service provider in your area.
AbNORMAL OPERATION
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation
and may require servicing:
Yellow tipping of the burner flame.
Sooting up area surrounding burner.
Burner not igniting properly.
Burner failing to remain alight.
In case the appliance fails to operate correctly, contact an au-
thorised Dometic Service Centre.

230-240V OPERATION

When a mains connection is available, AES will select this.
Please note, that even being in AC mode, 12V DC is necessary
for the internal supply of the electronics.

12V OPERATION

AES will select the 12V mode of operation as soon as the
vehicle engine is running (detected by the alternator connection
of the fridge D+).
If the 12V DC goes down below 9V DC, the system will shut
down completely.

SWITCHING bETWEEN ENERGY SOURCES

When switching from one energy source to another, there are
some delays implemented in the AES system. The 15 min.
delay between switching off the engine and starting gas mode
is intended to delay the starting of gas mode e.g. when stopping
at a filling station.
!
WARNING
It is not allowed to have a naked flame at a gas filling
station . If you are not sure, that your stop is shorter
than 15 min ., you are advised to set the oN/oFF switch
(1) to "oFF", when stopping at a filling station .

REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE

The position number refers to Fig.1.
It will take a few hours for the refrigerator to reach normal
1) to
operating temperature. So we suggest you start it well in
advance of a trip and if possible store it with precooled food-
stuffs.
The temperature of the refrigerator main compartment is set
for all three sources of energy, by means of the Temperature
selector button (3). After turning on the refrigerator the system
automatically chooses the mid-position. With some experience
you will soon find a suitable setting, bigger circles indicate
lower temperatures. This normally does not need resetting
because the same thermostat controls the main compartment
temperature for any of the three sources of energy.

TRAVEL CATCH

Make sure that the travel catch is engaged when the motor-
home is on the move.

USING THE REFRIGERATOR

Do NoT store explosive substances in the refrigerator,
such as cigarette lighter gas, gasoline, ether or the like .
FOOD STORAGE
Always keep food in closed containers. Never put hot food in
the refrigerator; allow it to cool first.
The frozen food compartment is intended for the storage of fro-
zen food and for making ice. Most kinds of frozen food can be
stored in the frozen food compartment for about a month. This
period of time may vary, however, and it is important to follow
the instructions on the individual packages.
ICE MAkING
Fill the ice tray to just below the brim with drinking water and
place them on the bottom of the freezer compartment. Ice will
be made more rapidly if the thermostat is set at its highest posi-
tion (biggest circle), but be sure to move the thermostat back
to normal setting when the ice is formed; the refrigerator might
otherwise become too cold.
