Owner’s Manual 3
About Your Refrigerator
- When you discard an appliance, remove all doors to
prevent accidental entrapment and suffocation.
- Do not spray liquids near electrical outlets, connections,
or the refrigerator components. Many liquids are
electrically conductive and can cause a shock hazard,
electrical shorts, and in some cases fire.
- Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage
compartment of the refrigerator unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer.
- The refrigerator cooling system is under pressure. Do
not try to repair or to recharge a defective cooling
system. The cooling system contains sodium chromate.
The breathing of certain chromium compounds can
cause cancer. The cooling system contents can cause
severe skin and eye burns, and can ignite and burn with
an intense flame. Do not bend, drop, weld, move, drill,
puncture, or hit the cooling system.
- At regular intervals, make sure that the refrigerator
flue the burner, the vent areas, and the ventilation air
pathway between the vents are completely free from
any flammable material or blockage. After a period of
storage, it is especially important to check these areas
for any flammable material or blockage caused by
animals.
CAUTION:
- The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges and
corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working on
the refrigerator, be careful and wear cut resistant gloves.

Leveling:
CAUTION:
The refrigerator is made to operate
within 3° off level side-to-side and 6° off level front-
to-back (as looking at the front of the refrigerator).
Operating it at more than these limits can cause
damage to the cooling system and create a risk of
personal injury or property damage. Make sure the
vehicle is level before you operate the refrigerator.
Operation during travel:
While the refrigerator should be level when the vehicle is
stopped, performance during travel is not usually effected. Do
not operate the refrigerator on propane gas while travelling. This
can reduce performance, cause an unstable flame, or extinguish
the flame.
Food compartment:
Ignite or 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 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 cooling fins:
- 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.
Flip-up shelf (N404 / N504):
The flip-up shelf supplies a space to store tall bottles. To use the
flip-up shelf, lift the center of the shelf and fold it up against the
inside wall of the refrigerator.
Door Bins:
You may put the door bins [52] of the fresh food compartment in
a location that best meets your need (See Art01114). To remove
the bins, lift them over the locator and pull them forward. To
install the bins, push them onto the locator.
NOTE: Do not wash the door bins in a dishwasher. The door
bins are not dishwasher safe.
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 latch for travel and storage:
During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening.
There are no chains, slides, or any devices that you must
engage.
During storage, the door latch prevents the door from completely
closing. Use it to prevent odors when the refrigerator is shut
down for a long period of time.
To use the door latch for storage (See Art00979):
- Open the door just so the door latch [161] is between the ribs
[166] of the latch plate [162].
