10.6.5 Operation (Thetford without SES)
Operating modes The refrigerator has 2 operating modes:
z Gas operation
z Electrical operation (230 VAC or 12 VDC)
The operating mode is set with the operating controls on the refrigerator panel.
Infinitely variable regulation of the cooling power is only possible with gas opera-
tion and when the refrigerator is operated with 230 V. It is not possible with 12 V
operation.
Gas operation
Z When the refrigerator is set manually to "12 V", it constantly uses current. There-
fore, switch over to gas operation if the 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".
Z Select only one energy source.
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.
