Sources
The refrigerator is powered from
230V
the mains.
The refrigerator is powered from
12V
the battery of your vehicle.
The refrigerator is powered from
Gas
the gas connection of a gas
bottle.
Always use the gas connection or mains voltage
to start up and cool. Operating on 12V is only
effective while the engine of the vehicle is running.
The performance of the refrigerator, when
operating on 12V, is dependent on the thickness
and length of the wiring and the overall installation
of the vehicle.
When selecting gas, the flame should be ignited
within 30 seconds. If the system fails, restart the
refrigerator and select the gas
source again.
From about 1000 m above sea level problems of a
physical nature can occur when lighting the gas.
This does not mean that the refrigerator is not
working properly.
Stand-alone model (if applicable)
The refrigerator is only functional, when the
control panel is powered.
A stand-alone model (installed by your dealer) is
operational using AA batteries in the event of no
mains or battery.
Therefore open the small
cover underneath the
control panel, as illustrated.
Insert 6 new 1.5V AA/LR6
batteries, according the
illustration in the cover.

cooling level
Your refrigerator meets the climate class SN
requirements according to EN ISO 15502:2005 at
an ambient temperature 10°C to 32°C.
We advise to set the refrigerator on cooling
level 3, with an ambient temperature
between 15°C and 25°C. A higher temperature
needs a higher cooling level, a lower temperature a
lower level.
To improve the cooling performance of your
refrigerator in high temperatures, Thetford
advises to install the Ventilator Kit. It helps
to detract the warm air quicker to the vents.
The Ventilator Kit is suitable for all Thetford
refrigerators.
6 Control of optional extras
Batteries empty
present with the stand-alone models,
installed by your dealer.
When your refrigerator is provided with the
stand-alone option, it will run on 1.5V AA/LR6
batteries for approximately 7 days in combination
with gas supply.
When the red symbol 'batteries empty' blinks,
you must replace the batteries within 24 hours.
Remove all batteries out of the small cover
underneath the control panel and replace
6 new batteries. If you are not going to use this
function for more than two weeks, remove all
batteries.
Only use new 1.5V AA/LR6 batteries. Do not
use rechargeable batteries for this function
of the refrigerator.
If you don't have enough batteries or want to
use your refrigerator for a very short period
it is also possible to only use 3 batteries in
a row. Your refrigerator will run for approximately
half a week now.
Anti-condensation
present on refrigerator model B
To prevent the control panel from condensation,
the anti-condensation function is automatically
switched on. Only switch off this function when
little energy is present.
Push both arrow buttons
together at once and hold
them for 2 seconds, as
illustrated. The symbol
'anti-condensation off' will
light up on the control panel. To switch on the
function again, push both arrow buttons for
2 seconds once more.
When your refrigerator runs on AA batteries, anti-
condensation is switched off automatically.
7 Use of refrigerator compartment
You can organise your refrigerator as desired by
moving the storage shelves and door bins
in height.
Make sure the door can still be closed after
reorganising shelves and bins.
Moving storage shelves
Turn the plastic clamp on
the right side of the storage
shelf upwards, as
illustrated. Lift the right
side a bit, and move the
storage shelf to the desired
position. First place the left
side of the storage shelf in
the refrigerator wall, then the right side in the
corresponding groove. Turn the plastic clamp
downwards. Your storage shelf is secured again.
Moving door bins
Push a door bin out of the
locking with both hands, as
illustrated. Place this door
bin back in the desired
position and push it back on
the locking. The door bin is
secured again.
Organising food
After a minimum of 8 hours of cooling, the food can
be placed in the refrigerator. Do not completely
cover the cooling fins with food, to preserve an
optimal performance of the refrigerator.
Make sure air can still circulate around the fins.
To prevent your refrigerator from ice-
formation, always cover liquid products,
let warm products cool down before placing them
in the refrigerator and don't open the door any
longer than necessary.
