Electrical operation
The refrigerator can be operated with the following voltages:
z 230 VAC
z 12 VDC
Switching the 230 V operation
on:
 Set the energy selector switch (Fig. 136,3) to "230 V".
 Use the control knob (Fig. 136,4) to adjust the refrigerating temperature.
Switching the 230 V operation
off:
 Set the energy selector switch to " ". Refrigerator is switched off.
Switching the 12 V operation
on:
 Set the energy selector switch (Fig. 136,3) to "12 V".
 Use the control knob (Fig. 136,4) to adjust the refrigerating temperature.
Switching the 12 V operation
off:
 Set the 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 possible
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 refrigerator is
equipped with a frame heater for the freezer compartment. If the temperature and
humidity are high, switch on the frame heater by pressing the button (Fig. 136,1).
This prevents corrosion. If the frame heater is switched on, the indicator lamp
(Fig. 136,2) will be lit.
10.6.4 Operation (Dometic 7 series with AES)
Operating modes The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic system to select the type of energy
(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 energy:
z Solar installation 12 V
z 230 VAC
z 12 VDC
z Gas
The energy source highest on the list is selected.
Z Close the gas isolator tap "Refrigerator" when the refrigerator is operated elec-
trically.
Z If the frame heater is switched on, it will always consume current. Therefore,
switch off the frame heater if the towing vehicle engine is off and the vehicle is
not connected to the 230 V power supply.
Z Further information can be obtained from the separate instruction manual "Ref-
rigerator".
