on three power modes:
• Mains voltage (230V AC)
• Direct-current voltage (12V DC)
• Gas (liquid gas propane/butane)

igniter models) or the energy selector
button (MES, AES). Appliances with
automatic energy selection (AES) are
additionally provided with “automatic
mode” function. Then the AES system
automatically selects the best energy

starting up the refrigerator and filling
with food before starting a journey.

The refrigerator will take several hours
to reach its operating temperature in
the cooling compartment. The freezer
compartment should be cold about one
hour after switching on the refrigerator.
