Owner’s Manual 6
Food compartment:
Start up the refrigerator and let it cool for eight hours before loading with food. If the refrigerator does not start to cool down after about
two hours, contact your dealer or an authorized THETFORD - China Service Center.
For the best cooling performance:
- Let air move freely inside the entire food compartment.
- Do not cover the shelves with plastic, paper, etc.
To decrease the amount of ice that collects on the freezer plates:
- Cover all liquids and moist foods.
- Let all hot foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator.
- Do not open the door any longer than necessary.
Freezer compartment:
The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen food frozen and not to quick freeze food. Keep pre-frozen foods in the freezer
compartment.
When making ice, put the ice cube tray directly on the freezer surface. Do not put other items on the ice cube tray while
the water is freezing. The water freezes more rapidly if the power switch / thermostat is at the coldest temperature
setting.
Door latch for travel:
During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening. There are no chains, slides, or any devices that you must engage.
Interior light:
The DC0041CR interior light is located on the left wall of the fresh food compartment. The DC0061CR interior light is located behind
the divider that seperates the freezer compartment from the fresh food compartment.
The interior light comes on when the refrigerator is ON and the door is open. To replace the
bulb:
1. Use tape to hold the light switch down, which removes power from the light circuit.
2. Remove the cover [57] by pulling it toward the front of the refrigerator (See Art00988).
3. Remove the light bulb [58] from the holder [59].
Use only a GE#214-2 bulb (7W max.) as the replacement bulb. This bulb is
available at most retail automotive parts centers.
4. Install the replacement bulb.
5. Install the cover.
6. Remove the tape from the light switch.
