AES Refrigerator GLOSSARY OF TERMS continued
approximately
1lV DC, the refrigerator will disengage the 12V heating element and initiate an
approximate delay cycle. (See Delay Cycle). As with the 1st and 2nd generation models, the 3rd
generation models will stay lit continuously on LP gas mode if voltage drops to approximately
9.5V
DC. At this time the mode switch lamp will shut off to let the customer know DC voltage is low.
WIRE GAUGE
(Size) - A standardized method of rating the size of wire diameter. In electrical
appliances the size of wire is a necessary consideration so the circuits do not experience voltage
losses and the wire can handle the amperage demands of the electrical components. A small gauge
wire cannot safely handle the same amperage loads with a voltage drop that a larger gauge wire
can. The smaller the gauge of wire, the larger is its numeral value; the larger the gauge of wire,
the smaller is its numerical value. For the refrigerator to operate properly on all modes of heat,
refer to wiring size chart to insure the proper size wire has been used in the installation (see page
A-6-26).
