Selecting electrical power manually
Mains voltage (230V):
The LED warns you whenever insufficient
voltage is available or if a fault occurs. If
this happens, the LED will start flashing
once per second and an error code is
shown in the LCD display
When sufficient current is available again, or
the fault has been resolved, the LED will emit
a steady blue light again.
Direct current (12V):
The LED warns you whenever your
vehicle's engine is not running, or if a
fault occurs, or if insufficient voltage is
available. If this happens, the LED will
start flashing once per second and an
error code is shown in the LCD display.
Once the engine is running, or the fault has
been resolved, or sufficient voltage is
available again, the LED will again emit a
steady blue light.
NB: If the refrigerator has been manually set
to operate at 12V, it will not automatically
switch to another energy source when your
vehicle's engine is not running. In this case,
the refrigerator will stop cooling.
Powering with gas
Powering with gas can be selected both by
the Auto mode (only Automatic fridges) and
manually.
Warning! - Flammable material must be kept
away from the rear of the refrigerator.
For selection of gas type, see the
information plate inside your refrigerator.
For the pressure regulator model, see the
information plate inside your refrigerator
and the table at the back of this booklet.
The type of gas container and its location
must be in compliance with the most
recent regulations. Ensure that the unit is
installed in a location with good
ventilation and make sure that the
ventilation openings in the gas container
storage location remain open.
The changing of the gas container must
be done outside in the open air and out
of reach of any possible sources of
ignition.

Auto mode
The system will select gas operation if:
- mains voltage (230V) is unavailable;
- the vehicle's engine is not running.
Once mains voltage (230V) is available again
or the vehicle's engine is running, the system
will switch to the available energy source
that has the highest priority if the fridge is in
Auto mode.
If the refrigerator switches from 12V DC to
gas operation when it is in auto mode, the
system will wait for about 15 minutes before
igniting the gas. During this time, however,
the gas indicator lamp will come on. The
delay is built in to avoid it switching to gas
operation whenever you stop to refuel your
vehicle. You can cancel the delay by
immediately switching the refrigerator off and
then on again.
If the system selects gas operation, the
ignition will be activated automatically. The
gas will flow to the burner and be lit by the
electric ignition. If the flame goes out, the
gas will immediately be lit again.
Selecting gas operation manually
If the flame cannot be lit within 30
seconds, the gas supply will stop and gas
mode will be switched off. The LED start
flashing every second and an error code
is shown in the LCD display.
The gas mode can be reset only if the
refrigerator is switched off. If you switch the
refrigerator on again and the gas mode is
still not working, the LED of the manual gas
mode will flash to indicate that gas is
