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.
 When leaving the vehicle, always mount the refrigerator ventilation grill.
Otherwise water can enter during rain.
 If the caravan is equipped with the AL-KO Trailer Control System (ATC),
the cooling power of the refrigerator during driving is somewhat less than
with vehicles without ATC.

 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.
