OPERATING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTROLUX REFRIGERATORS
INTRODUCTION
We are pleased that you have chosen this refrigerator and hope you will derive much satisfaction from using it, but first a few well-meant words of advice:
It is important to read through these instructions carefully before using the refrigerator.
To ensure good refrigeration and economical operation, the refrigerator must be installed and used as described in these instructions.
The refrigerator is designed for installation in motorhomes.
This refrigerator comes with an
Automatic Energy Selector (AES)
which controls operation and energy supply. To put the refrigerator in operation, just trip the main switch - AES manages the rest.
TRANSIT DAMAGE
Inspect the refrigerator for damage. Transit damage must be reported to whoever is responsible for delivery not later than seven days after the refrigerator was delivered.
DATA PLATE
Check the data plate, inside the refrigerator, to ensure that you have received the right model.
The data plate contains e. g. the following details:
Model designation |
RM ................................ |
Product number |
...................................... |
Serial number ...................................... |
|
Voltage ...................................... |
volts |
Gas pressure ...................................... |
mbar |
Since these details will be needed if you have to contact service personnel, it is a good idea to make a note of them here.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLS
A C B
E D
FIG. 1
This refrigerator is equipped with an Automatic Energy Selector (AES) which controls its operation and energy supply.
The system selects the available energy source in the order:
230-240 V - 12 V - LP gas
No manual operation is necessary for selecting the energy source.
The control panel is shown in fig.1.
The refrigerator is set into operation by pushing button (A) (main switch). The AES LED (C) lights green showing: AES system working. Pushbutton (B) is used for setting the electronic thermostat. The thermostat LEDs (D) shows the chosen temperature position. When there is a demand for refrigeration, AES will connect the most favourable of the available energy sources.
Note: 12 V must always be available to supply the electronics.
STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
All references are to fig. 1.
LP Gas operation
AES will select LP gas operation under the following conditions:
•No AC (230-240 V) available
•Engine not running (no high current at 12 V DC available)
•AC available but too low
•Engine running but DC supply too low
(condition three and four are briefly described in item Undervoltage operation)
When the system chooses LP Gas operation, the flame failure device is automatically opened, allowing the gas to flow to the burner. At the same time, the electronic igniter is energized.
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders etc., the gas pipes may contain some air that should
be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or other appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.
If the flame goes out (by gust of wind etc.), the igniter is immediately activated and reignites the gas.
Note: The control electronics and the igniter must have 12 V DC supply to operate.
Gas trouble-shooting
If the AES LED (C) is flashing red, the system was not able to start or continue gas operation. Set the switch
(A) to "OFF" and check that there is enough gas in the gas bottle, that its valve is open and that any valves in the gas line to the refrigerator are open.
Then push button (A) to "ON" again. After 10 sec. AES will repeat the ignition sequence. When the AES LED
(C) again starts flashing red after 30 sec., the trouble persists (air in the line, no gas?). Switch (A) briefly off and then on again. It might be necessary to repeat this operation 2-3 times if the tubing contains air (after changing gas bottles, repairs etc.).
If this does not help, you should consult a service technician.
230-240 V Operation
When a mains connection is available, AES will select this. Please note, that even being in AC mode, 12 V DC is necessary for the internal supply of the electronics.
12 V Operation
AES will select the 12 V mode of operation only when the vehicle engine is running (detected by the alternator connection of the fridge D+).
SWITCHING BETWEEN ENERGY SOURCES
When switching from one energy source to another, there are some delays implemented in the AES system. The 15 min. delay between switching off the engine and starting gas mode is intended to delay the starting of gas mode e.g. when stopping at a filling station.
WARNING: It is not allowed to have a naked flame at a gas filling station. If you are not sure, that your stop is shorter than 15 min., you are advised to switch off the main switch (A), fig. 1, when stopping at a filling station.
Undervoltage operation
The AES system is designed to guarantee the maximum cooling efficiency under any circumstances. Therefore, the system monitors continuously the voltage level while being in either 12 V DC or 230-240 V AC mode. If the voltage is too low, the system switches to Gas mode shown by the yellow LED (E in fig. 1.). The system stays in Gas mode, until the electrical supply voltage has recovered to normal level.
REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
The position number refers to fig.1.
It will take a few hours for the refrigerator to reach normal operating temperature. So we suggest you start it well in advance of a trip and if possible store it with precooled
