Important! It is prohibited to use gas to
power the refrigerator while you are driving.
If a road accident results in a fire, there is a
danger of explosion. It is prohibited to use
gas to power the refrigerator in the vicinity of
petrol stations. If it takes longer than 15
minutes to refuel your vehicle, you should
switch the refrigerator off using the main
switch (A).
Switching off the refrigerator
Push the main switch (A).
The blue LED will go out.
The refrigerator is now completely
switched off.
Use the special storage latch on the door
locking mechanism to fixate the open
door. This prevents unpleasant odours
and mould in the refrigerator.
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure
the correct functioning of your refrigerator.
Cleaning
Tip! A good time to clean your refrigerator is
straight after you have defrosted it.
Clean the refrigerator with a soft cloth
and mild detergent.
Dust the refrigerator with a soft,
moistened cloth.
Use a brush or soft cloth to remove once
a year any dust from the condenser at
the inside of the refrigerator.
Important! - Do not use soap or aggressive
detergents that are abrasive or soda-based.
The removable interior components of the
refrigerator are not dishwasher proof.
Defrosting
Frost will gradually build up on the
condenser of the refrigerator. You should
defrost the refrigerator as soon as the frost
layer is about 3 mm thick. Frost reduces the
refrigerating capacity and life of your
refrigerator.
Remove the ice cube tray and all food.
Switch off the refrigerator.
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 in section 4.1 ("Igniting
and starting your refrigerator").
Important! - Do not use force or sharp
objects to remove frost.
Do not try to accelerate defrosting by
using (for example) 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.
If you find that the door does not close
properly, check whether the door locking
mechanism keeps the door properly shut.
Winter operation
If you use the refrigerator when the outdoor
temperature is below 8°C, install the
Thetford vent winter/storage cover on the
ventilation grills. The cover protects your
refrigerator from excessively cold air. The
winter cover is a refrigerator accessory
obtainable from your caravan dealer.
