out Your Refrigerat or Ab Abo Refrigerato Usage: This refrigerator is made for use within a recreational vehicle, marine, or truck application.Do not expose the refrigerator to rain. Storage Volume: This refrigerator is made to store fresh and frozen foods and for making ice. DE105 105 L Calculated according to AS/NZS 62552-3:2018 Food compartment: Start up the refrigerator and let it cool for eight hours before loading with food.
refrigerator. A light, located on the panel comes on when the refrigerator is “ON”. Number “1” is the warmest and number “5” is the coldest thermostat position. For efficient operation, change the thermostat according to the types of food stored and the ambient temperature. If you are not going to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time, put the thermostat to the “OFF” position (full counterclockwise position).
Defrosting Defrosting:: The freeze plates of the refrigerate operate at below freezing temperature and will naturally form frost from humidity.which is always present in the air. The humidity inside the refrigerator increases: - with higher outside temperature and humidity. - with the storage of non-sealed fresh foods or warm foods. - with the amount of time that the door(s) are open. - with any air leakage into the refrigerator. It is normal for frost to collect inside the refrigerator.
- Pull the drip tray down to remove from the slots in the refrigerator cabinet. - Clean the drip tray. - Put the drain tube plug down into the drip tray and push the drip tray back into the original position. - Push the drain hose back onto the drain tube plug. Doo oorr sealing: If the door does not seal correctly, excess frost will collect inside the refrigerator. Make sure the door seals correctly. - Close the door on a piece of paper that is about the size of a dollar bill (See Art00980).
Over heating shut-off device operation: Operating the refrigerator in high ambient temperatures can over heat the cooling unit and cause premature failure of the compressor (See the label inside the refrigerator). To protect the cooling unit from over heating, the refrigerator will automatically shut-off when the temperature of the power module is higher than100°C(212°F). The refrigerator will not restart until the temperature of the power module is lower than 80°C(176°F) .
Check the Battery charge Level A fully charged battery will have a specific gravity reading of between 1.260 and 1.280. The battery voltage is best indicated when the refrigerator is “ON” and the battery charging system is “OFF”. Charge the battery when the specific gravity reading is less than 1.200. For your reference The wiring diagram shown below is recommended for dual battery hookup. Replacement Parts You may purchase replacement parts through your dealer or an authorized THETFORD Service Centre.
Disposal To prevent the risk of child entrapment, before you discard your old refrigerator: - Remove the doors from the refrigerator. - Let the shelves stay in position so that a child may not easily climb inside the refrigerator. - This refrigerator is marked with this symbol.

This refrigerator operates on DC electronic sources. Operation out of these limits may damage the refrigerator’s electrical circuit parts and will void the warranty. Make no changes to any of the electrical wiring supplied with the refrigerator.
- The wire connections must be clean, tight and free of corrosion. If any of these items are not correct: - A voltage drop to the refrigerator will occur. - The voltage drop will decrease the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Disconnect the positive(+) DC power supply wire from the battery before you do a“fast charge” of the battery.Failure to disconnect the positive (+) power supply wire from the battery during a“fast charge” can cause damage to the refrigerator or other DC appliances.
