Operation (Thetford)


Select only one energy source.

Even when the 12 V power supply is switched off, a small electrical
power flows which puts an extra load on the living area battery. Always
switch off the refrigerator for a temporary lay-up.
The refrigerator has 3 operating modes:

Gas operation

230 V operation

12 V operation
The operating mode is set with the operating controls on the refrigerator
panel. Infinitely variable regulation of the cooling power is only possible with
gas operation and when the refrigerator is operated with 230 V. It is not pos-
sible with 12 V operation.
Fig. 123 Operating controls for the refrigerator
1 On/Off button
2 Arrow keys
3 Confirmation button
4 Indicator for operating mode (230 V operation/12 V operation/gas operation)
5 Indicator for cooling level (lowest - highest cooling level)
The current operating mode is indicated by an illuminated symbol
(Fig. 123,4) on the operating unit.

The refrigerator always requires a 12 V control voltage, regardless of
which type of energy it is using. The control voltage is present as soon
as the transformer/rectifier is switched on. Therefore the closed circuit
current always flows even if the refrigerator is switched off. Always
switch off the transformer/rectifier for a temporary lay-up.

We recommend that the refrigerator be operated in 12 V operation when
the vehicle is in motion.
When the vehicle is stationary, we advise you to operate the refrigerator
in 230 V operation, assuming a 230 V connection is available.
In all other cases, the refrigerator can be operated in gas operation.
