HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
Troubleshooting
Some problems are indicated through blinking lights on your control panel. First read the instructions
below. If this will not solve the problem, contact your dealer or a Thetford Service Centre.
The refrigerator does not work on 230V
• Check if the mains is available.
• Try to run the refrigerator on another power source.
The refrigerator does not work on 12V
• Check if the 12V fuse in the fuse box of your car is still operational.
• Make sure the engine is running.
• Try to run the refrigerator on another power source.
The refrigerator does not work on gas
• Check if the gas bottle is not empty.
• Check if the valve of the gas bottle and all shut-off valves are open.
• Switch the refrigerator off and on again.
• Try to run the refrigerator on another power source.
What can I do, when the refrigerator does not start?
• Check if you switched on the refrigerator according to the instructions, if the vehicle stands level or
if there is an available energy source to start the refrigerator with. If unsuccessful, please contact your
dealer or a Thetford Service Centre.
The refrigerator does not cool sufficiently, what can I do?
• Check if the vents aren’t covered or blocked from the outside, if the refrigerator stands level, if the
highest cooling level of the refrigerator is selected, if the door of the refrigerator still closes properly
or if there is not too much ice on the fooling fins. If not successful, contact your dealer or Thetford.
All lights on the control panel are blinking, what should I do?
• Contact your dealer or Thetford Service Centre.
I just replaced the batteries, but the batteries empty symbol is already blinking?
• Check if you have used only new 1.5V AA/LR6 batteries. Rechargeable batteries for this function do
not work.
Storage
If you do not expect to use your refrigerator for
a longer period, it is important to thoroughly
empty, defrost and clean the complete
refrigerator. Then install the winter cover over
the vents, to protect your refrigerator during
storage.
To prevent odours and mould in the refrigerator,
keep all doors open during storage.
Rotate the hook at door lock
45 degrees and lock it in place
by using the strike plate.
• Make sure the gas taps of the gas bottle are
closed during storage.
• Water through the vents may damage your
refrigerator. Therefore install winter covers
before washing your vehicle.
