ONTROLS
his refrigerator is equipped with an Automatic Energy
elector (AES) which controls its operation and energy
upply.
he system selects the available energy source in the order
30/240 V – 12 V – LP gas. No manual operation is necesary for selecting the energy source.
he control panel is shown in fig. 3.
he refrigerator is set into operation by pushing button (A)
main switch). The AES LED (C) lights green showing: AES
ystem working. Push- button (B) is used for setting the
lectronic thermostat. The thermostat LEDs (D) show the
hoosen temperature position. When there is a demand for
efrigeration, AES will connect the most favourable of the
vailable energy sources.
ote: 12 V must always be available to supply the electroics.
TARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
ll references are to fig. 3.
P Gas operation
AES will select LP gas operation under the following
conditions:
● No AC (230 V) available
● Engine not running (no high current at 12 VDC available)
● AC available but too low
● Engine running but DC supply too low
(condition three and four are briefly described in item
Undervoltage operation)
hen the system chooses LP Gas operation, the flame
ailure device is automatically opened, allowing the gas to
low to the burner. At the same time, the electronic igniter is
nergized.
fter initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders
tc., the gas pipes may contain some air which should be
llowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or
ther appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights
mmediately.
f the flame goes out (by gust of wind etc), the igniter is
mmediately activated and reignites the gas.
ote: the control electronics and the igniter must have a
C (battery) supply to operate.
as trouble-shooting
f the AES LED (C) is flashing red, the system was not able
o start or continue gas operation. Set the switch (A) to 0
nd check that there is enough gas in the gas bottle, that its
alve is open and that any valves in the gas line to the
efrigerator are open.
hen push button (A) to "ON" again. After 10 sec. AES will
epeat the ignition sequence. When the AES LED (C) again
tarts flashing red after 30 sec, the trouble persists (air in
he line, no gas?). Switch (A) briefly off and then on again. It
ight be necessary to repeat this operation 3-4 times if the
ubing contains air (after changing gas bottles, repairs etc).
f this does not help, you should consult a service tech-
ician.
30 V Operation
hen a mains connection is available, AES will select this.
lease note, that even being in AC mode, 12 V DC is nec-
essary for the internal supply of the electronics.
2 V operation
ES will select the 12 V mode of operation only when the
ehicle engine is running (detected by the alternator conection of the fridge).
WITCHING BETWEEN ENERGY
OURCES
hen switching from one energy source to another, there
re some delays implemented in the AES system.
he 15 min. delay between switching off the engine and
tarting gas mode is intended to to delay the starting of gas
ode e.g. when stopping at a filling station.
Nevertheless 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. 3, when stopping
at a filling station.
ndervoltage operation
he AES system is designed to guarantee the maximum
ooling efficiency under any circumstances. Therefore, the
ystem monitores continously the voltage level while being
n either 12 V DC or 230 V AC mode. If the voltage is too
ow, the system switches to Gas mode shown by the yellow
ED (E in fig.3). The system stays in Gas mode, until the
lectrial supply voltage has recovered to the normal level.
INTER OPERATION
lease check that the ventilation grilles or the flue outlet are
ot blocked by snow, leaves etc.
LECTROLUX ventilation grilles A 1620 (fig. 2), can be
itted with winter covers, model WA 120, to protect the
ooling unit against cold air. The covers may be fitted when
he outside temperature is below approx. 10°C and should
e fitted when the temperature is below the freezing point.
e suggest that you fit the winter covers also in the case
hat the vehicle is laid up during the winter months.
EGULATING THE TEMPERATURE
he position number refers to fig. 3.
t will take a few hours for the refrigerator to reach normal
perating temperature. So we suggest you start it well in
dvance of a trip and if possible store it with precooled
oodstuffs.
he temperature of the refrigerator main compartment is set

nob (B). After turning on the refrigeratior the system auto-
atically chooses the mid- position. With some experience
ou will soon find a suitable setting. This normally does not
eed resetting because the same thermostat controls the
ain compartment temperature for any of the three sources
f energy.
RAVEL CATCH
ake sure that the travel catch is engaged when the
aravan is on the move, (fig. 1).
he travel catch at the top of the door can be set in two
ifferent positions. In one position the door is held tightly
hut. In the other position the door is secured ajar so that
he refrigerator can be aired when not in use.
OOD STORAGE
lways keep food in closed containers. Never put hot food
n the refrigerator; allow it to cool first.
ever keep items in the refrigerator which might give
ff flammable gases.
he 2-star (**) frozen food compartment is intended for the
torage of frozen food and for making ice. It is not suitable
or freezing items of food.
ever put bottles or cans of fizzy drinks in the frozen food
torage compartment as they may burst when freezing. Also
on't give children ice lollies straight from the frozen food as
hey could cause frost burns.
ost kinds of frozen food can be stored in the frozen food
ompartment for about a month. This period of time may
ary, however, and it is important to follow the instructions
n the individual packets.
CE MAKING
t is practical to make ice during the night – then the refrigeator is less demanded and the cooling unit has more reser-
es. Fill the ice tray to just below the brim with drinking
ater and place it on the freezer shelf.
o speed up the ice making, one can spill one or two
poonfuls of water on the freezer shelf to improve the con-
act to the ice tray. If you have more than one ice tray it is a
ood idea to make ice in advance and save the frozen trays
n the frozen food compartment.
EFROSTING
rost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surfaces.
t must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an
nsulator and adversely affects refrigerator performance.
heck the formation of frost regularly every week and when
t gets about 3 mm thick, defrost the refrigerator.
o defrost the `fridge, turn it off and remove the ice tray and
ll food items. Warning: normally the temperature of items
f fozen foods would rise unduly during defrosting and so
hey should be consumed within 24 h or discarded.
o not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of
eating appliance, as this might damage the plastic surfaes of the refrigerator. Neither should any sharp objects be
sed to scrape off the ice.
he defrost water runs from a collector channel to a
eceptacle at the rear of the refrigerator where it
vaporates. Defrost water in the freezer compartment
hould be mopped up with a cloth.
hen the ice has melted, wipe the refrigerator dry and
estart it. Place the food items back inside but wait until the
efrigerator is cold before making ice cubes.
LEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
lean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh
nd hygienic.
oak a cloth in a solution consisting of a teaspoon of bicaronate of soda to half a litre of warm water. Wring out the
loth and use it to clean the interior of the refrigerator and
ts fittings.
ever use detergents, scouring powder, strongly scented
roducts or wax polish to clean the interior of the refrigera-
or as they may damage the surfaces and leave a strong
dour.
he exterior of the refrigerator should be wiped clean now
nd again, using a damp cloth and a small quantity of deterent. But not the door gasket, which should only be cleaned
ith soap and water and then thoroughly dried.
he cooling unit behind the refrigerator should be cleaned
ith a brush from time to time, but make sure that the
e-frigerator is switched off when doing this.
URNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR
f the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
. Set the switch (A), fig. 3, to "OFF".
. Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to the refrige-
rator.
. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as described
earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator and the frozen
food compartment ajar. Use the travel catch to hold in
this position.
. When the vehicle is laid up for a long period of time (e.g.
during the winter months), we suggest fitting the winter
covers WA 120, fig. 2, onto the vent grills.
F THE `FRIDGE FAILS TO WORK
heck the following points before calling a service -
echnician:
. that the green AES LED goes on, when the switch (A) is
set to "ON" (12 V must be available).
. when mains are connected but the fridge stays in gas
oeration: Is the refrigerator correctly connected and is the
fuse intact?
. in transit, if the fridge does not operate in DC mode: Is
the alternator (D
. if the AES LED flashes red: see chapter Gas Trouble-
Shooting.
f the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be because:
. The ventilation is inadequate owing to reduced area of
the ventilation passages (partial blockage of grilles from
wire mesh etc).
. The evaporator is frosted up.
. The temperature control setting is incorrect.
. The gas pressure is incorrect – check the pressure regu-
lator at the gas container.
