Electrical operation
The refrigerator can be operated with the following voltages:
 240 V AC
 12 V DC
Switching the 240 V
operation on:
 Set energy selector switch (Fig. 159,3) to "230 V".
 Use the control knob (Fig. 159,4) to adjust the refrigerating temperature.
Switching the 240 V
operation off:
 Set energy selector switch to " ". Refrigerator is switched off.
Switching the 12 V

 Set energy selector switch (Fig. 159,3) to "12 V".
 Use the control knob (Fig. 159,4) to adjust the refrigerating temperature.
Switching the 12 V
operation off:
 Set energy selector switch to " ". Refrigerator is switched off.
When operated with 12 V, the refrigerator draws power from the starter battery
of the towing vehicle. Therefore 12 V operation of the refrigerator is only pos-
sible while the engine of the towing vehicle is running. During prolonged
driving breaks, change over to gas operation.
Frame heater (FH)
High external temperatures and high humidity can cause drops of water to
form on the metal frame of the freezer compartment. This is why the refriger-
ator is equipped with a frame heater for the freezer compartment. If the tem-
 Close the gas isolator tap "Refrigerator" when the refrigerator is operated
electrically.
 If the frame heater is switched on, it will always consume current. There-
fore, switch off the frame heater if the engine of the towing vehicle is off and
the vehicle is not connected to the 240 V power supply.
