with different types of power and can be run on an AC power supply, a DC power
supply or with butane/propane gas. For DC operation, the vehicle battery or a solar
system built on the vehicle can be used. For AC and gas operation, the thermostatic
control ensures that the refrigerator temperature is kept constant and as little power
as possible is consumed.
The refrigerator has a locking mechanism to protect it during transport.
The refrigerator has a defrost water drain. The drain opening is located on the rear
panel of the refrigerator.
The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic pilot light which automatically inter-
rupts the gas supply after approx. 30 seconds if the flame goes out.
