Swift 2004 User Manual

• Leave the refrigerator door open.
• Place dry towels in the refrigerator to
absorb the water.
• Place trays containing hot water in the
freezer compartment.
• After defrosting (when the freezer
compartment and condenser are frost-
free), remove the towels and the water
trays and use a cloth to dry off the
refrigerator.
• Switch the refrigerator on again in the
way described previously.
Important!
- Do not use force or sharp objects to
remove frost.
- Do not try to accelerate defrosting by
using a heat source, such as a hairdryer.
Door locking mechanism
Frost will form in the refrigerator if the door is
not closed properly. To determine whether
the door closes properly, close the door with
a piece of paper between the door and the
refrigerator. Pull at the piece of paper. If you
feel resistance, the refrigerator door closes
properly. If you feel no resistance, the door
does not close properly. Perform this test
regularly on all four sides of the refrigerator
door.
Take the following action if you find that the
door does not close properly:
• check whether the screws of the hinges
of the refrigerator door are securely in
place;
• check whether the door locking
mechanism keeps the door properly shut.
Winter operation
If you use the refrigerator when the outdoor
temperature is below 0°C, install the Thetford
winter cover on the ventilation gratings. The
cover protects your refrigerator from
excessively cold air. The winter cover is a
refrigerator accessory obtainable from your
caravan dealer.
Tip!
- It is advisable to use the winter cover if
you are not going to use the vehicle for
a long period of time.
Maintenance of gas equipment
A qualified service engineer must maintain
and inspect gas and electrical equipment. It
is advisable to have this maintenance work
performed by a customer service centre.
Contact the Customer Service department of
Thetford for a list of qualified parties.
Important!
European laws covering gas appliances and
extractors prescribe observance of the
following rules (which are the user’s
responsibility):
- gas appliances and extractors must be
inspected prior to first usage and
thereafter every two years;
- appliances that run on liquid gas must
be inspected each year. After each
inspection a certificate will be issued;
- the gas burner must be cleaned at least
once a year or more frequently if
necessary.
- If a gas hose is used, it must be
checked annually. This hose has a
limited life and, thus, must be regularly
replaced. Check the hose regularly for
cracks, splits and ageing. If in doubt,
replace the hose. Pay attention to the
maximum life of the hose and replace it
in time, as advised by the manufacturer
or in conformance with local regulations.
