dometic 300 refer

In my 2004 Lance the refrig has two red knobs on the control panel, one lites the igniter , what do the other do ? To put it on 110 volts is all that is required is turn to the electric plug symbol or must I push that other red button !
  • The other button purges the gas, hold it in while you push the striker in and out till the gauge goes in the green, I believe the instructions read not to hold the gas button in more than 30 seconds at a time.
  • One operates the piezo ignitor
    Other one operates the gas safety valve....holds it open until flame lights off and thermocouple sends millivolt signal energizing the electro-magnet in gas safety valve which then holds valve open until temp set point is reached
  • Thank you , so to run on ac all I got to do is turn that switch to the picture of an electric plug ?
