Operating the Refrigerator Controls
Control panel:
The refrigerator control panel (see Art01562) is above the
refrigerator door. A 12 volt DC power supply is necessary for the
control functions of the refrigerator to operate. The refrigerator
receives DC power from the 12 volt system of the vehicle; either an
auxiliary battery, a converter, or the vehicle engine battery.
The ON / OFF button [30] starts and shuts down the refrigerator:
- To turn on the refrigerator, push and release the ON / OFF
button.
- To turn off the refrigerator, push the ON / OFF button for one
second and then release.
The TEMP SET button [32] controls the temperature adjustment of
the freezer and the fresh food compartment. The temperature adjustment that you select does not change if the mode of operation of
the refrigerator changes.
- Push the TEMP SET button and the temperature setting “1-9” appears in the center display [33].
- Push and hold the TEMP SET button and the temperature setting changes.
- When the desired temperature setting shows, release the TEMP SET button.
- The temperature setting shows for ten seconds and then the current operation mode of the refrigerator shows.
- The number “9” is the coldest temperature setting.
The MODE button [31] controls the operation mode of the refrigerator.
- Push and hold the MODE button and a light bar shows in the center display beside each of the four operating modes of the
refrigerator, one at a time.
- There is one automatic mode of operation and two manual modes of operation.
On 3-way models only, there are three manual modes of operation.
- When the light bar shows beside the mode of operation that you choose, release the MODE button to operate the refrigerator
in that mode.
Automatic mode operation:
When the refrigerator is in AUTO mode, it automatically uses the most efficient energy source that is available for operation. During
operation, if a more efficient energy source becomes available, the refrigerator controls change from the current energy source to the
more efficient energy source as follows:
- The first choice is AC operation if 120 volts AC is available to the refrigerator.
- The second choice is propane gas operation if 120 volts AC is not available to the refrigerator.
- The third choice is DC operation (3-way models only) if neither 120 volts AC nor propane gas is available to the refrigerator.
