During operation in the AUTO mode, when
a higher priority power source becomes avail-
able, the operating controls will cease using the
current power source and will switch to the
higher priority power source. For example, if
AC electric becomes available while the refrig-
erator is operating in the AUTO LP GAS mode,
the refrigerator will switch to AUTO AC opera-
tion.
If an operating mode is not functional, a
diagnostic code will appear and the refrigerator
will attempt to operate in a lower power priority
source. If a lower power priority source is not
available, an alarm will sound and the refrigera-
tor will cease operation. Refer to the
Diagnostic
Codes and Their Meaning
for corrective actions.
Start-Up Instructions - Manual Mode
To operate in the MANUAL mode, press and
hold the MODE button until AUTO disappears
and the desired operating mode is displayed. If
the power source is interrupted while operating
in the MANUAL mode, a diagnostic code will
appear, an alarm will sound, and the refrigerator
will cease operation. For corrective actions, refer
to the
Diagnostic Codes and Their Meaning
on
page 10 of the refrigerator Operator’s Guide in
your Owner InfoCase.
Auto and Manual Modes - Gas Operation
Only
If the gas does not ignite within 30 seconds,
which may occur on initial start-up, the refriger-
ator’s gas valve will automatically close and the
operating controls will select an alternate power
source (AUTO Mode) or MANUAL mode, will
revert to a stand-by mode in which an alarm will
sound and code A1 will be displayed in the cen-
ter window. The alarm and code will remain on
until the operating controls are turned OFF and
then ON again. If the gas does not ignite after
several attempts, check the input gas supply, or
consult with your dealer or an authorized service
center. A different mode of operation may be
selected by pressing and holding the MODE but-
ton. The refrigerator will not switch to the new
operating mode until the MODE button is
released.
Backup Operating System (BOS)
Your refrigerator features a Backup Operat-
ing System which keeps the refrigerator cool in
the event of a failure of the refrigerator’s operat-
ing controls. If a failure occurs, the refrigerator
will display Diagnostic Code C5 and will switch
automatically to the BOS mode. This mode pro-
vides refrigeration until the refrigerator is ser-
viced. The fresh food and freezer compartment
temperatures should be monitored to prevent
over-freezing or thawing of refrigerator contents
when operating in the BOS mode. If the refriger-
ator temperature is too cold, adjust the thermo-
stat up (warmer) in one bar increments. If the
refrigerator temperature is too warm, adjust the
thermostat down (colder) in one bar increments.
Let the refrigerator operate at the new setting for
one hour before rechecking the freezer and fresh
food compartment temperatures. (Frequent door
opening prevents the temperatures from stabiliz-
ing.) Although the refrigerator can operate in
this mode, the manufacturer recommends that
you seek service to restore normal operation as
soon as practical.
Operating Tips
•
The refrigerator should already be cold be-
fore placing items in it.
•
Food and beverages should also be cold be-
fore placing in RV refrigerator. Never put
warm or hot items in a cold refrigerator.
