B.Press the main power ON/OFF button (1) to the DOWN position.

C.Press the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR button (3) until the lamp at the desired setting is illuminated.

The thermostat on the refrigerator controls both the gas and electric operation, thereby eliminating the necessity of resetting each time a different energy source is em- ployed.

After the initial start-up, the thermostat should be moved from “COLDEST” to the desired temperature setting, usually at mid setting.

AES/AUTO MODE

1.Press the AES/AUTO/GAS mode selector button (2) to turn ON the AES/AUTO lamp (B). If 120 volts is available, the AC mode indicator lamp (A) will illumi- nate indicating AC operation. If 120 volts AC is not available, the GAS indicator lamp (C) will illuminate indicating the control has automatically switched to the GAS mode.

2.If the CHECK indicator lamp (D) illuminates and the GAS mode indicator lamp (C) is off, the controls have failed to ignite the burner in the GAS mode. GAS operation may be reset by pressing the main power ON/OFF button (1) to the OFF then ON position. (See step 2 under GAS MODE).

3.Press the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR button (3) until the lamp at the desired position is illuminated.

GAS MODE

To reset when the CHECK indicator lamp (D) is illu- minated, press the main power ON/OFF button (1) to the OFF and then ON position.

NOTE: Do not continue to reset GAS operation if the CHECK indicator lamp continues to be illuminated after several tries.

3.Press the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR button (3) until the lamp at the desired position is illuminated.
