Switching over / time delays

There are some built-in time delays when switching between power supply options.

Refuelling stop

: In order to prevent unintended switching to gas operation

during refuelling, the AES electronic system starts gas operation of the refrigerator, 

after the motor has been turned off for 15 min.

The use of naked flames is prohibited in petrol station environments.

If the refuelling stop lasts longer than 15 min., the refrigerator should be 

switched off at the main switch (A).

Undervoltage operation

If the electrical supply voltage in 230V or 12V operation is not sufficient to maintain the 

cooling function, the AES switches to gas operation.
This state is signalled by the undervoltage LED (C, yellow) lighting up. If gas operation 

is selected due to undervoltage, the refrigerator remains in gas 

operation for 30 min., in order to prevent 

continual switching back and forth between 

power modes. After 30 min. of gas opera-

tion, the electronic system checks the avai-

lable voltage at regular intervals. If the 

supply voltage is sufficient again, the 

refrigerator switches back to 230V or 12V operation as the case may be.

If the refrigerator is to be taken out of service for an extended period of

time, the on-board shut-off valve and the cylinder valve must be closed.

2. Secure the door open by 

means of the door stop. 

The door will be slightly 

ajar.
