Installation /Owner’s Manual 5
Adjustable shelves:
The shelves in the freezer and the fresh food compartment are made so you can remove them or move them.
To remove or move the shelf of the freezer:
- Pull the shelf forward out of the slot.
- Push it fully into the slot that you wish.
To remove or move each shelf of the fresh food compartment:
- Remove the screw from the retainer of each shelf at the rear of the refrigerator.
- Pull each shelf forward out of the slot.
- Push each shelf fully into the slot that you wish.
- Attach the retainer with the screw.
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.
NOTE: Do not put other items on the ice tray while the water is freezing. The water freezes more rapidly if the thermostat is
at the coldest temperature setting.
Door handles:
During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening. When closing each door, push the door toward the refrigerator until you
hear a “click” sound.
To open each door, pull the handle away from the refrigerator.
During storage, the storage latch prevents the door from completely closing. Use it to prevent
odors when the refrigerator is stored for an extended period of time.
To operate the storage latch (see Art00991), open each door about 13 mm and push the
storage latch [55] into the cutout [56] of the strike plate. Do not use the storage latch as a
travel latch because the doors will not be fully closed.
Temperature switch monitor:
The refrigerator is equipped with a temperature switch [142] for overheating protection (See
Art01869). A Thetford authorized service technician can determine if this switch has been
triggered.

Operating the Refrigerator Controls
Control panel (See Art02257):
The thermostat [96] is the temperature control of the refrigerator. Number 1 is the
warmest temperature setting and number 5 is the coldest temperature setting.
NOTE: If the cooling load changes, you must manually change the thermostat to
maintain the same temperature inside the refrigerator.
When the outside air temperature is below 10° C, the refrigerator may have a tendency
to freeze food at the colder temperature settings. To reduce the tendency to freeze
food:
- Turn the thermostat to a warmer temperature setting.
- Keep the refrigerator full.
- Put foods that are more likely to freeze on the lower shelf.
