Karmann Ontario, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 41 / 73

The refrigerator is designed for
operation with 230 V, 12 V or gas.
Selection of the mode of operation
and cooling capacity takes place on
the control panel.
A – Energy selector switch
B – Gas/electro thermostat
C – Door lock
Gas mode
Open main shut-off valve (p. 5-1)
and the shut-off valve in the body
(page 5-2).
Set the energy selector switch A to
gas mode.
Turn the knob B in clockwise
direction as far as it will go.
Ignition is automatic. When the
"Gas" indicator lights up and there
is a ticking noise, this shows that
ignition sparks are being generated.
After successful ignition the noise
will stop.
To switch off gas mode (complete
shut-down) set the energy selector
switch A to the vertical position 0.
230 V mode
Set the energy selector switch to
mains operation (230V).
Make sure you only select this
operating mode when the power
supply matches that given for the
refrigerator; otherwise the unit may
be damaged.
12 V mode
Set the energy selector switch A to
12 V mode.
12 V mode is only possible when
the mobile home is travelling; this
prevents excessively fast discharge
of the battery.
Automatic mode – AES (optional)
In the AES version the refrigerator has
an automatic selection facility. The
unit is equipped in addition with an
automatic function which chooses
autonomously between different kinds
of energy. To achieve this set the
switch A to "Auto". The electronically
selected type of energy is indicated.
You can switch to manual mode at
any time.
