AUTO MODE
When operating in the AUTO mode, the AUTO mode
indicator lamp (D) will illuminate. The control system will
automatically select between AC and GAS operation
with AC having priority over GAS. Either the AC indicator
lamp (B) or the GAS indicator lamp (C) will illuminate
depending on the energy source selected by the control
system. If the control system is operating with AC
energy and it then becomes unavailable, the system will
automatically switch to GAS. As soon as AC becomes
available again, the control will switch back to AC
regardless of the status of GAS operation.
GAS MODE
When operating in the GAS mode, the AUTO mode
indicator lamp (D) will not be illuminated. This mode
provides LP gas operation only. The control system will
activate the ignition system and will attempt to light the
burner for a period of approximately 45 seconds. If
unsuccessful, the CHECK indicator lamp (E) will illumi-
nate and the GAS mode indicator lamp (C) will turn off.
To restart GAS operation, press the main power ON/
OFF button (1) to the OFF and then ON position. The
control system will attempt a new 45 second ignition
sequence.
If the refrigerator has not been used for a long time or
the LP tanks have just been refilled, air may be trapped
in the supply lines. To purge the air from the lines may
require resetting the main power ON/OFF button (1)
three or four times. If repeated attempts fail to start the
LP gas operation, check to make sure that the LP gas
supply tanks are not empty and all manual shutoff
valves in the lines are open.
If the control is switched to AC or DC operation while
the CHECK indicator lamp is on, it will function properly,
but the CHECK indicator lamp will not go off until the
main power ON/OFF button is pressed to the OFF then
ON position.
DC MODE (3-Way Models Only)
When operating in the DC mode, the DC mode indicator
lamp (A) will be illuminated. All other mode lamps will be
off. The DC mode overrides all other operating modes. If
one of the other operating modes is desired, the DC
selector button (2) must be in the UP (OFF) position.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF OPERATION
This control system contains a feature where it will
continue to operate the cooling system in the event of a
failure of a major operating component. Two different
modes of operation can occur in this category.
