•
A continuous 12-volt DC supply must be available for the electric control to function.

Press the main power ON/OFF button (1) to the DOWN position.
•
Press the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR button (3) until the lamp at the desired setting is
illuminated.
4-16.1.2 AES/Auto Mode
NOTE: AES is Dometic’s term for Automatic Energy Selection Switch. What this does if this
switch is turned on, the refrigerator will search for a 110 source first, if it doesn’t find one,
then it will go to gas. If the switch is turned off it will automatically go to gas and bypass the
AES Mode.
1. Press the AES/AUTO/GAS mode selector button (2) to turn ON the AES/AUTO lamp (B). If 120
volts is available, the AC mode indicator lamp (A) will illuminate indicating AC operation. If 120
volts AC is not available, the GAS indicator lamp (C) will illuminate, indicating the control has
automatically switched to the GAS mode.
2. If the CHECK indicator lamp (D) illuminates and the GAS mode indicator lamp (C) is off, the
controls have failed to ignite the burner in the GAS mode. GAS operation may be reset by
pressing the main power ON/OFF button (1) to the OFF then ON position. (
See step 2 under
GAS MODE ).
3. Press the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR button (3) until the lamp at the desired position is
illuminated.
4-16.1.3 Gas Mode
1. Press the AES/AUTO/GAS mode selector button (2) to turn OFF the AES/AUTO lamp
(B). The GAS mode indicator lamp (C) will illuminate. Within 45 seconds the burner
should be ignited and operating normally.

purged from the gas line. If the gas does not ignite within 45 seconds the CHECK
indicator lamp (D) will illuminate and the GAS mode indicator lamp (C) will go off.
To reset when the CHECK indicator lamp (D) is illuminated, press the
main power ON/OFF button (1) to the OFF and then ON position.
NOTE: Do not continue to reset Gas operation if the CHECK indicator lamp continues to
be illuminated after several tries.
