Location of Controls
Figure 20 illustrates the locations of the refrigera-
tor’s operating controls. The operating control panel
is located above the door. The panel includes the
Thermostat, the Mode Selector switches, Mode Dis-
play Area, and the NORMAL-OFF-HIGH HUMIDITY
switch.

Operating Control Function
A 12 volt DC supply is required to maintain the re-
frigerator’s operating control functions. The refrigera-
tor receives its DC power from the vehicle’s 12 volt
system; either an auxiliary battery, a converter or the
engine battery. The 12 volt DC system not only sup-
plies power to the refrigerator, but to other DC com-
ponents in the vehicle.

Mode Display Area
The display area provides a continuous indication of
the refrigerator’s operating mode. A description of
each indication is as follows:
each indication is as follows:
AC: Indicates 12 volt DC and 120 volt AC is
available to the refrigerator. Also indicated
the refrigerator is operating on AC electric.
the refrigerator is operating on AC electric.
LP: Indicates 12 volt DC is available to refrig-
erator and the gas burner is operating nor-
mally.

X: When a red "X" appears with "LP", this In-
dicates the gas burner is off and the oper-
ating controls are "locked" out. "Lock" out
(red "X") is a design safety feature which

prevents the escape of unburned gas from
the burner if the flame is extinguished. The
controls must be reset to continue opera-
tion in the gas mode. See "Operating In-

Auto Mode
Note: On 3-Way models, the DC ON/DC OFF
switch must be set to DC OFF.
When the "AUTO" mode is selected, the operating
control automatically selects the energy source using
the following scheme:

When neither 120 volts AC nor LP gas are avail-
able, the user can select DC electric (3-Way
models only). The DC ON/DC OFF switch must
be set to DC ON. DC will appear in the Display
Area, indicating DC electric operation. Selecting
the DC electric mode overrides all operating
modes. If a fault occurs during the DC operation
the controls will not automatically switch to an
alternate power source. DC electric operation is
not as efficient as AC electric or LP gas opera-
tion and should therefore be used only to main-
tain temperatures when the other modes are un-
available (for example; while in transit - 4 to 6
hours).

During operation in the "AUTO" mode, when a
higher priority energy source becomes available, the
operating controls will cease using the current energy
source and will switch to the higher priority energy
source. For example, if AC electric becomes avail-
able while the refrigerator is operating in the "LP" gas
mode the refrigerator will switch to "AC" electric op-
eration.
GAS Mode
operating controls will cease using the current energy
source and will switch to the higher priority energy
source. For example, if AC electric becomes avail-
able while the refrigerator is operating in the "LP" gas
mode the refrigerator will switch to "AC" electric op-
eration.
GAS Mode
Selecting GAS allows the refrigerator to operate on
gas only. If DC power or the LP gas supply is lost,
the operating controls will not automatically switch
modes. Operation will lock out (red X) and requires
to be manually reset (turning AUTO-GAS switch to
the center position then back ON).
