3 ABOUT YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Your refrigerator has a cold space and a freezer compartment. After startling up the refrigerator, allow it to cool for at least eight hours before placing any food in it.

3.1 Cold space

The cooling fins are located on the inside of your refrigerator. The absorption system uses the cooling fins to withdraw heat from the refrigerator. Therefore, never place plastic or paper over the cooling fins. Air must be able to circulate freely through the refrigerator so that heat can be extracted.

Important Do not cover the cooling fice at the back of the refrigerator with plastic or paper. The refrigerator cools optimally when air is allowed to move freely through the refrigerator.

To limit frosting on the cooling fins:
always cover liquid foods before placing them in the refrigerator;
always let hot food cool before placing it in the refrigerator;
- never keep the refrigerator open longer than necessary.

3.1.1 Fitting racks

Inside your refrigerator there are two or three storage racks. You can adjust the racks to a convenient height by means of a simple click system:
- click the plastic bracket to the right short side of the rack;
- turn the bracket into the horizontal position and insert the rack tipped in a sloping position into the refrigerator;
- place the short side without bracket into one of the grooves on the left wall of the refrigerator;
- place the short side with bracket in the corresponding groove on the right wall of the refrigerator;
- turn the bracket downwards to fix it into the groove.
To move a rack, turn the bracket upwards and remove the rack. Place the rack at the required height in the way described above.

3.1.2 Securing products for driving

The fitting racks in your refrigerator have a system for you to secure products while driving. The system consists of a simple click-and-slide plastic strip. To sacure products on the rack while driving, push the plastic strip as tightly as you can against the products on the rack.

In the storage space on the inside of the refrigerator door, there are two unique Thetford bottle slides (see illustration 1 and 2). The slides prevent bottles from sliding around during driving. Push the slide against the products in the door (bottle slides 1 and 2) or place the products between the bottle slide (only bottle slide 1).

3.2 Freezer compartment

Important - The freezer compartment is unsuitable as a means of freezing food, the freezer will maintain the temperature of already frozen food.
- Use only drinking water to make ice cubes.
- Do not place any other products in the freezer compartment when you are making ice cubes.
Water freezes fastest with the thermostat at the highest setting.
Tip! - Make ice cubes at night when your refrigerator has more spare capacity.

3.3 Automatic defrosting cycle

The Automatic (and LCD - Electric) refrigerators that work on the SES system (Smart Energy Selection) are equipped with an automatic defrosting cycle. At the end of each 49 hours of refrigerator operation, the system checks the temperature of the cooling fins at the rear of the refrigerator. If the temperature is too low, the system activates the defrosting cycle:

the system switches off the refrigeration, until the rear cooling element has reached the correct temperature again. After this, the timer is set at 49 hours once again and the system resumes normal operation. Each fimra the refrigerator is switched on or off, the timer is automatically reset to 49 hours.

Note1 Regular manual defrosting is not necessary with refrigerators that work on the SES system. The automatic defrosting cycle ensures that there is minimal ice build-up on the cooling element at the rear of the refrigerator.

3.4 Door locking mechanism

The refrigerator door has an automatic locking mechanism. The door locks automatically when you press it shut firmly. This automatic locking mechanism also keeps the refrigerator door shut during driving. For some models an additional security device is fitted below the refrigerator. By pushing the locking bar over the pin when the door is closed, you can be sure that the door does not open during your journey.

If you are not going to use the refrigerator for a prolonged period of time, you can use the special storage latch of the door locking mechanism (see illustrations 3 and 4) to prevent odours. Rotate the hook through 90 degrees and lock it in place using the strike plate.

4 SWITCHING ON THE REFRIGERATOR (control panel according illustrations 5 and 6)

• It is recommended to clean the inside of the refrigerator before you switch it on.
• Let the refrigerator cool for at least eight hours before you place food in it for the first time.

5 SWITCHING ON THE REFRIGERATOR (control panel according illustration 7)

• It is recommendable to clean the inside of the refrigerator before you switch on the refrigerator.
• Let the refrigerator run for at least eight hours before you place food in it for the first time.

5.1 Smart Energy Selection (SES)

When you start up a refrigerator equipped with Smart Energy Selection (SES) you should usually select the AUTO mode. The SES system will then automatically select the best of the three available energy sources.
The system will apply the following priority:
- mains voltage (230 V) = C
direct current (12V)
liquid gas

If an energy source becomes available that has a higher priority than the source the refrigerator is currently using (e.g. if your vehicle engine is started), the system will stop using the current energy source and switch to the energy source with the higher priority.

If a fault occurs in one or more of the possible energy sources, the system will not generate an error message while an alternative energy source is still available. The SES system switches over automatically.

If none of the energy sources is available, the LED of the main switch will turn

from green to red and flash every second.

SES models additionally allow you to select the desired energy source manually.

5.2 Switching on the refrigerator

Important! The memory of the SES system saves every change made to the setting. Consequently, the SES system will start up on each subsequent occasion in the last-selected setting.

7. MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure the correct functioning of your refrigerator.

7.1 Cleaning

Tip! A good time to clean your refrigerator is straight after you have defrosted it.
Clean the refrigerator with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
- Dust the refrigerator with a soft, moistened cloth
- Use a brush or soft cloth to remove once a year any dust from the condenser at the inside of the refrigerator.
Important! Do not use soap or aggressive detergents that are abrasive or soda-based.
The removable interior components of the refrigerator are not dishwasher proof.

7.2 Defrosling

Frost will gradually build up on the condenser of the refrigerator. You should detrost the refrigerator as soon as the frost layer is about 3mm thick. Frost reduces the refrigerating capacity and life of your refrigerator.

• Remove the ice cube tray and all food.
• Switch off the refrigerator.
  -Leave the refrigerator door open.
• 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 in section 4.1 ("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.

7.3 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.

7.4 Winter operation

If you use the refrigerator when the outdoor temperature is below 8^ , install the Theftond vent storage cover (see illustration 10) 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^ AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE COOLING UNIT AT THE REAR OF THE FRIDGE. Remove the covers & re-fit when placing the vehicle back into storage.

7.5 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 Tnefthor for a list of qualified parties.

Important! European laws covering gas appliances and extractors prescribe the following requirements for the operation of the plant:
- 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.

7.6 Maintenance checklist

This refrigerator will give you many years of trouble-free use if you simply run through the following checklist regularly:
-keep the refrigerator clean (see section 7.1, "Cleaning");
- defrost the refrigerator as often as is necessary (see section 7.2, "Defrosting"); - check the door closing mechanism regularly (see section 7.3, "Door locking mechanism");
make sure that the ventilation grills are not blocked Regularly clean the ventilation grills.

7.7 Vent screen

The vent has a vent screen to prevent bugs from entering the combustion area of the refrigerators. These vents need to be cleaned regularly to insure a good airflow. When the refrigerator performs poor because of external circumstances such as extreme ambient temperatures, the vents can be removed to improve the airflow and improve the cooling performance of the refrigerators.

8 STORAGE

If you do not expect to use your refrigerator for a lengthy period, carry out the following actions:

• Remove all food
• Switch off the refrigerator
• Clean the refrigerator as described in Section 7.1 Cleaning
• Shut off the gas tap to the refrigerator
• Leave the door of the refrigerator ajar using the special door closure hook (storage position)
• Place the winter protection on the ventilation grill.

9 TROUBLESHOOTING
