132 Caravan - 12-11 - EN
230 V operation If the 230 V power supply is connected, this energy source is selected as the first pri-
ority by the AES.
12 V operation 12 V operation is only selected by the AES if the vehicle's engine is running and the
alternator supplies sufficient 12 V operating power.
Gas operation
If the 230 V power supply is disconnected and the vehicle's engine is not running
the AES selects the gas supply. When selecting gas operation the ignition fuse is
opened automatically so that gas can flow into the burner. At the same time the
electronic ignition is activated. If the gas flame is extinguished, e.g. by blast of wind,
the ignition is activated immediately and re-ignites the gas. When the gas opera-
tion is faulty, the text "GAS" flashes in the operating indicator (Fig. 141,4).
Change-over between
energy sources
When changing over between the different energy sources there are forced delays
built in the AES. This means, that after a change-over to a new energy source the
refrigerator can not be operated immediately. When changing over from 12 V ope-
ration to gas operation, a 15-minute delay is built in the AES. This prevents a
change-over to gas operation when the vehicle is stopped briefly and the engine is
switched off (e.g. stop to fill tank).
Refrigerating temperature
control
When turned on the first time the refrigerator automatically selects the middle
thermostat position. This setting can be adjusted manually using the switch for the
temperature setting (Fig. 141,6). The indicator LEDs (Fig. 141,5) show the selected
thermostat position. The refrigerating temperature for the three types of energy is
set with the switch. It takes a few hours till the refrigerator reaches its normal ope-
rating temperature. When changing over the operating mode the thermostat set-
ting will be maintained. The refrigerating temperature is retained regardless of the
type of power being used.
Manual operation
Switching on:
 Open the regulator tap on the gas bottle and the gas isolator tap "Refrigerator".
 Press the on/off switch/energy selector switch (Fig. 141,1) down for 2 seconds
in order to switch on the appliance. The operating mode selected most recently
is shown in the operating indicator (Fig. 141,4).
Z Even when the 12 V supply is switched off, a small electrical current flows which
puts an extra load on the living area battery. Always switch the refrigerator off
during a temporary lay-up.
X Never let gas escape unburned due to danger of explosion.
Z Open the regulator tap on the gas bottle and the gas isolator tap "Refrigerator".
X Open flames are prohibited at petrol stations. If the stay lasts longer than
15 minutes, the refrigerator must be switched off at the energy selector
switch.
