A light in the on/off switch
will turn green.
After 10 seconds the settings will dim.

The last selected settings will light up.
To secure optimal performance, level your
vehicle before operating the refrigerator.
For optimal performance, switch on the
refrigerator 8 hours before placing food.
We advise to clean the inside of the
refrigerator properly, before using your
refrigerator.

the battery of your vehicle.
The refrigerator is powered from
Gas the gas connection of a gas
bottle.
If you set the refrigerator on the automatic source
selection, the control panel will show two source
symbols; the A and the best source available.
If the 'auto' function on the refrigerator is
selected, but no source is available, a light in the
on/off switch blinks red.
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.
To secure optimal performance, deactivate
the start/stop system on your vehicle if
present.
When selecting gas, the flame should be ignited
within 30 seconds. If the system fails, restart the
refrigerator and select the gas
source again.
For safety reasons it is not possible to ignite the
flame within 15 minutes after driving.
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.
5 Selecting cooling level
After switching on the
refrigerator, push the
cooling level button several
times, as illustrated. Push
untill the desired level is
selected.
Lowest Highest
cooling level 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.

7 Use of refrigerator compartment
You can organise your refrigerator as desired by

in height.
Make sure the door can still be closed after
reorganising shelves and bins.
Moving storage shelves
Turn the plastic clamp of
the storage shelf upwards,
as illustrated. Lift that side
a bit, and move the storage
shelf to the desired
position. First place the left
side of the storage shelf
without the plastic clamp in
the refrigerator wall, then place the other 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.
Using slide-out box

box as a tray for all your
breakfast or lunch items.
Slide out the complete box
and put it directly on the

To remove the slide-out box, pull the box until the
stop. Then lift the box at the front, as illustrated.
The box is now free to remove.
Using drawer
for refrigerator model C1 and C2
The drawer is specially designed for bottles, cans
and vegetables.
To divide the drawer into
two compartments, take
the bottle retainer from the
back and place it back in a
desired groove, as
illustrated.
The maximum storage capacity of the drawer
is 15kg.
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.
To reduce the cooling time, store only
pre-cooled food in the refrigerator.
To prevent the food from drying out or your
refrigerator from odours, store food
seperately in closed boxes.
