• Place dry towels in the refrigerator to
absorb the water.
• Place trays containing hot water in the
freezer compartment.
• After defrosting (when the freezer
compartment and condenser are frost-
free), remove the towels and the water
trays and use a cloth to dry off the
refrigerator.
• Switch the refrigerator on again in the
way described ("Igniting and starting
your refrigerator").
Important!
- Do not use force or sharp
objects to remove frost.
• Do not try to accelerate defrosting by
using (for example) a hairdryer.
Door locking mechanism
Frost will form in the refrigerator if the door
is not closed properly. To determine whether
the door closes properly, close the door with
a piece of paper between the door and the
refrigerator. Pull at the piece of paper. If you
feel resistance, the refrigerator door closes
properly. If you feel no resistance, the door
does not close properly. Perform this test
regularly on all four sides of the refrigerator
door.
If you find that the door does not close
properly, check whether the door locking
mechanism keeps the door properly shut.
Winter operation
If you use the refrigerator when the outdoor
temperature is below 8°C, install the
Thetford vent winter/storage cover on the
ventilation grills. The cover protects your
refrigerator from excessively cold air. The
winter cover is a refrigerator accessory
obtainable from your caravan dealer.
Tip!
It is advisable to use the winter/storage
cover if you are not going to use the vehicle
for a long period of time.
IMPORTANT;
DO NOT USE THE WINTER/
STORAGE COVER IN TEMPERATURES
GREATER THAN 8°C AS THIS CAN
DAMAGE THE COOLING UNIT AT THE
REAR OF THE FRIDGE. Remove the covers
and re-fit when placing the vehicle back into
storage.
Maintenance of gas equipment
A
qualified service engineer
must maintain
and inspect gas and electrical equipment. It
is advisable to have this maintenance work
performed by a customer service centre.
Contact the Customer Service department of
Thetford for a list of qualified parties.
Important!
European laws covering gas
appliances and extractors prescribe
observance of the following rules (which are
the user's responsibility):
• appliances that run on liquid gas must be
inspected before being used for the first
time and every year thereafter.
• the gas burner must be cleaned at least
once a year or more frequently if
necessary.
• If a gas hose is used, it must be checked
annually. This hose has a limited life and,
thus, must be regularly replaced. Check
the hose regularly for cracks, splits and
ageing. If in doubt, replace the hose. Pay
attention to the maximum life of the hose
and replace it in time, as advised by the
manufacturer or in conformance with
local regulations.
• For replacement, a gas hose approved in
accordance with the local regulations
must be used. Position the hose so that
it can rotate, is not kinked, and will allow
no bends to occur.
• Due to the limited life of the gas hose, it
must be installed so that replacement is
possible.
