10.6.4 Operation (Dometic 7 series with AES)
Operating modes The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic system to select the type of
power (AES). The AES automatically selects the optimal energy source and
regulates the refrigerator operation. Manual intervention to select the type of
power is possible but not required.
The AES selects from the following types of power:
 Solar installation 12 V
 240 V AC
 12 V DC
 Gas
Choosing the available energy source highest on the list.
240 V operation If the 240 V power supply is connected, this energy source is selected as the
first priority by the AES.
12 V operation 12 V operation is only selected by the AES if the engine of the towing vehicle
is running and the alternator supplies sufficient 12 V operating power.
Gas operation
 Further information can be obtained from the separate instruction manual
"Refrigerator".
 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.
