Electrical Components - Thetford N100 Installation Manual

6.2 Securing the refrigerator
1. FIGURE 13: If you use Thetford combustion seals, these need to be fixed in the way shown in the
13.
drawing to ensure optimum insulation. Fix the upper and lower flap of the combustion seal. Fix the
strips to the sides of the refrigerator in a vertical di rection at the rear of the refrigerator. Fix the
upper and lower flap of the combustion seal in the way shown in the drawing.
FIGURE 14: The refrigerator is installed in the unit using four screw holes on the sides (the N145
14.
models have got six screw holes).
1. Place the refrigerator completely straight in the unit (when the caravan or motor home is level, the
refrigerator should also be level).
2. Put screws through the holes on the inside of the refrigerator and screw it through the wall of the
refrigerator into the unit.
3. Place the white caps over the holes.
If the size of the unit is such that the combustion seal fails to seal properly, use a different
kind of sealing to keep hazardous combustion gases out of the living area of the caravan or
motor home.
6.3 Technical drawings
Technical drawings are available for every type of refrigerator. These are precise A1 (scale 1:5) drawings
stating all relevant measurements of the refrigerator and its surrounding. If wished for, Thetford is able to
send you the technical drawing of your refrigerator model.
6.4 Fitting the door panel
FIGURE 15: In order to fit the door panel, the refrigerator's door needs to be demounted. [1] Open
15.
the door, unfasten the screw from the top hinge point with a screwdriver and remove the screw. [2]
Hold the door at a slight angle and lift the door from the lower hinge pen.
[3] Remove the 3 screws with which the lower cover is attached to the door.
[4] Remove the cover and slide the panel into the holder.
[5] Repeat steps [1] / [2] and [3] in reversed order.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

- The electrical connections have to comply with EN 60335-1
- A qualified person must install the electrical connection.
- The electrical components must be in accordance with the latest technical regulations.
- Wiring must be installed so that wires cannot come into contact with hot or sharp parts.
7.1 Connecting to the mains (230 V)
- Connecting the 230v cable to a properly earthed power point will increase the safety
aspect.
- Make sure the power point is in a position that is easy to reach.
- Position the 230v power lead in such a way that it cannot come into contact with hot or
sharp parts.
- The mains connection must be fitted with a 3 A fuse.
- In case of a damaged power lead with one of the SES models (Smart Energy Selection,
see figure 1), this must be replaced with a Thetford power lead.
7.2 Connecting to a DC power supply (12 V) for piezo and electric models (fig. 1)
These models have two 12V connection points to prevent the battery from being discharge d by the
refrigerator when the engine is not running.
