8 Use of freezer compartment
You can use the freezer compartment to keep
food frozen or to make ice cubes with the included
Thetford ice cube tray.
Never keep carbonated liquids in the freezer
compartment.
If the refrigerator has to perform for a longer
period in internal vehicle temperature below
10°C, a constant regulation of temperature in the
freezer compartment can't be guaranteed. The
temperature can increase and the food may
defrost in the freezer compartment.
Making ice-cubes
Fill 2/3 of the ice-cube tray with water and put the
tray in the freezer compartment. Make sure you
only use drinking water.
Never eat ice-cubes or popsicles directly out
of the freezer compartment. This can cause
burns.
To speed up the process, make ice-cubes at
night, when the refrigerator has more
capacity. Place the ice-cube tray in an empty
freezer on the bottom and the back.
9 While driving
.
Make sure all products in
your refrigerator can't
move while driving.
Secure the bottles in the
door and the drawer with
the bottle retainer, and
secure all food on the
storage shelves.
In Europe it is only allowed to run your
refrigerator on gas while driving, if a gas
system with break protection is installed and local
regulations are respected.
Because of varying outside conditions during
driving, good performance on gas can't be
guaranteed. Therefore Thetford does not advise to
run your refrigerator on gas while driving.
Door lock
When you close and press the door of the
refrigerator, the door locks automatically. While
driving this door lock also secures the door.
Some models have an extra
security lock on the bottom
of the refrigerator. To be
sure the door will not open
while driving, push the
black security lock over the
pin on the door.
Never let children play or hide in the
refrigerator. Children can be trapped and
possibly suffocate.
10 Winter use
When you are going to use the refrigerator with an
outside temperature below 10°C, install a suitable
winter cover, as illustrated.
This cover will protect your refrigerator against
too cold air and makes sure the refrigerator will
still perform optimally.
Make sure you remove the winter cover again once
the temperature is above 10°C.
11 Cleaning
It is important to regularly clean the refrigerator
for optimal performance. First remove the
shelves, door bins, slide-out box and the drawer.
Then clean those parts and the inside of the
refrigerator with a soft cloth and a mild household
cleaner. Use a wet, soft cloth for the outside of the
refrigerator. Make sure the vents on the outside
of the vehicle are always dust-tight.
Removing slide-out box system
To remove the slide-out box
system for refrigerator
model C1 and C2,
completely open the
refrigerator door and
remove the slide-out box.
Then slide the rail system
to the right, as illustrated.
The slide-out box system is now free to remove.
After cleaning, place the system back in reverse
order. Make sure the slide-out box system snaps
into place.

Removing drawer
To remove the drawer for refrigerator model C1,
pull the drawer until the stop and push it a little
bit back. Then push the guide locks backwards, as
illustrated. Pull the drawer further to the front and
lift the wheels over the curves. The drawer is now
free to remove. After cleaning, pull out the guides
until they snap into place, then place the drawer
back in reverse order.
To remove the drawer for
refrigerator model C2,
completely open the
refrigerator door and pull
the drawer until the stop.
Then lift the drawer at the
front, as illustrated. The
drawer is now free to
remove. After cleaning, place the drawer back in
reverse order.
Never clean your refrigerator with soap
or agressive, caustic or soda-based
cleaning agents.
The loose parts of the refrigerator are not
suitable for the dishwasher.
Water through the vents may damage your
refrigerator. Therefore install winter covers
before washing your vehicle.
12 Switch off refrigerator
Before defrosting the
refrigerator or storing your
vehicle, switch off the
refrigerator. Push the on/
off switch, as illustrated,
and hold it for 2 seconds to switch off the
refrigerator. All lights will go out.
13 Defrosting
A layer of ice on the cooling fins will decrease
the cooling capacity and durability of your
refrigerator. Therefore your refrigerator is
provided with an automatic defrost system,
which prevents ice formation.
Despite this system, it is also possible to manually
defrost your refrigerator on occasion. Remove all
food, wrap it tightly in newspaper and put it in a
cold place or in an insulated bag. Then open the
doors. Put dry towels in the refrigerator to catch
the remaining water. When the refrigerator is
defrosted, thoroughly dry the inside.
Do not speed up the defrosting process by
removing the ice layer with force or sharp
objects or by using a hairdryer.
14 Storage
If you do not expect to use your refrigerator for a
longer period, it is important to thoroughly empty,
defrost and clean the complete refrigerator. Then
install the winter cover over the vents, to protect
your refrigerator during storage.
To prevent odours and mould in the refrigerator,
keep the refrigerator door, as well as the freezer
compartment door, open during storage. External
doors are equipped with a storage lock.
For model A and model B
rotate the storage lock and
secure it by using the strike
plate, as illustrated.
For model C1 and model C2
first open the door and
rotate the storage lock, as
illustrated. Then close the
door until you hear the first
click. Make sure the door is
still a bit open.
When you use the
refrigerator after storage,
always make sure to rotate
the storage lock back to its
original position.
Make sure the gas taps of the gas bottle are
closed during storage.
Water through the vents may damage your
refrigerator. Therefore install winter covers
before washing your vehicle.
