10.6.3 Operation (Dometic 7 series with manual ignition and frame
heater)
Operating modes The refrigerator has 2 operating modes:
Gas operation
Electrical operation (240 V AC or 12 V DC)
The operating mode is set with the operating controls on the refrigerator panel.
Gas operation
Switching on:
Open the regulator tap on the gas bottle and the gas isolator tap "Refriger-
ator".
Set energy selector switch (Fig. 156,3) to "GAS".
Press the control knob (Fig. 156,4), turn it to the highest level and hold it
down. Wait until gas gets into the burner.
Press the gas ignition button (Fig. 156,5) repeatedly until the flame
appears in the inspection glass (bottom left in the refrigerator).
Keep the control knob (Fig. 156,4) pressed down until the flame indicator
(Fig. 156,6) becomes green and then release it.
Check in the inspection glass (bottom left-hand side in the refrigerator)
whether the flame is visible.
Adjust the refrigerating temperature with the control knob.
If ignition is unsuccessful, repeat the entire procedure.
Select only one energy source.
Even when the 12 V power supply is switched off, a small electrical power
flows which puts an extra load on the living area battery. Always switch off
the refrigerator for a temporary lay-up.
Never let gas escape unburned due to danger of explosion.
It is not permitted to operate the refrigerator with car gas.
Before starting up the refrigerator with gas, remove the two louvered panel
covers (SE) for the refrigerator on the outside of the vehicle.
