Maintenance (all fridge variants)
The maintenance requirements for all types of
Thetford fridges are as follows:
• Cleaning: clean the fridge regularly using a soft
cloth and mild detergent. Dust using a soft
moistened cloth and annually remove dust
from the condenser inside the fridge.
• Defrosting: defrost the fridge regularly as soon
as the frost layer is 3mm thick.
• Door lock: check the door lock mechanism
regularly and ensure door closes securely.
• Ventilation grilles: check regularly to ensure the
grilles are clean and unblocked.
Securing products for driving
One of the racks
in your
refrigerator has a
system for
securing products
during driving.
The system
consists of a
simple click-and-
slide plastic strip.
To secure
products on the
rack while
driving, push the
plastic strip as tightly as you can against the
products on the rack.
In the storage space on the inside of the
refrigerator door, there is the unique Thetford
flexible bottle slide. The slide prevents bottles
from sliding around during driving. Push the slide
against the products in the door or place the
products between the bottle slide.
Door locking mechanism
The refrigerator door has an automatic locking
mechanism. The door locks automatically when
you press it shut firmly. The lock releases
unnoticed when you open the refrigerator with
your hand. This automatic locking mechanism also
keeps the refrigerator door shut during driving.
For some models an additional security device is
fitted below the refrigerator. By pushing the
locking bar over the pin when the door is closed,
you can make doubly sure that the door does not
come open during your journey.
