For models DC0061CR - 7.0 cubic foot, DC electric refrigerators.

Part No. 636100A 5/30/2013

Special Requirements for Marine Installations:

If the positive (+12/24 volts) input is grounded (by cuts in the wire insulation, incorrectly insulated components,

etc.) a voltage potential can be caused throughout the boat, which causes corrosion to form on any metal parts

that are exposed to water.

This condition can be avoided by wiring the boat so that the wiring is protected per NNMA CERTIFICATION

HANDBOOK (1987). Inspect all wiring to make sure that the insulation is not damaged and use plastic wire

clamps.

CAUTION

WARNING

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.

Art00988

NOTICE

Owner’s Manual 7

Controls:

The power switch / thermostat [96] controls operation of the refrigerator (See

Art02280). When the power switch / thermostat is in the “OFF” position, no

voltage is supplied to the cooling system and the refrigerator uses no DC voltage.

The green power indicator [185] illuminates when the power switch / thermostat

is in any position except the “OFF” position and the cooling system is energized.

The power switch / thermostat also controls the temperature of the refrigerator.

Number 5 is the coldest temperature setting. When you start up the refrigerator,

turn the thermostat to the 5 position. Allow the refrigerator to cool down for eight

hours and then turn the thermostat to the temperature setting that you wish.

The refrigerator operates on DC voltage.

Do not operate the refrigerator when the ambient tempera-

ture is higher than 110° F. Operation when the ambient temperature is higher than 110° F. can cause poor

cooling performance and permanent damage to the compressor.

DC Operation Guidelines:

Do not operate the refrigerator on battery power only. Operation of the refrigerator directly from the battery

will rapidly discharge the battery. Correctly supply DC power to the refrigerator.

The refrigerator gets DC power from the vehicle battery system. The battery system also supplies power to any other DC appliances or

accessories of the vehicle.

A dual battery system provides the best power usage. This system uses two batteries. One battery supplies DC power only to the

vehicle engine and its accessories. The second battery supplies DC power only to the DC appliances of the vehicle. An alternator,

Owner’s Manual 8

Defrosting:

The freezer plates of the refrigerator 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. Excess frost decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Defrost the

refrigerator as necessary:

- Remove all food from the refrigerator.

- Turn the refrigerator OFF.

Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator, which falls onto the drip tray and ows to the

outside of the refrigerator through the drain tube.

- Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator to help remove the excess water.

High temperatures can cause the inside surfaces of the refrigerator to warp or melt. Do not use pans of

HOT water, a hair dryer, or any other high temperature devices to defrost the refrigerator. Do not use any

hard or sharp objects to remove frost. Damage to the interior of the refrigerator can occur.

- To increase the speed of defrosting, put pans of WARM water in the refrigerator.

- Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the interior.

- Start up the refrigerator.

- Allow the refrigerator to cool down.

- Return all food to the refrigerator.

Cleaning:

A good time to clean the refrigerator is just after you defrost it.

Clean the inside of the refrigerator as often as necessary to avoid food odors:

- Remove all food from the refrigerator.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or scouring pads because they can damage the interior of the refrigerator.

- Wash the interior with a mild cleaner or a solution of liquid dish detergent and warm water.

- Rinse with a solution of baking soda and clean water.

- Dry with a clean cloth.

- Put all food back into the refrigerator.

To remove and clean the drip tray:

- Make sure that the drip tray is empty of water.

- Pull the drain tube plug out from the inside of the drip tray and out of the drain hose.

CAUTION

NOTICE

Owner’s Manual 9

- 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.

Door 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).

- Gently pull the paper.

- You should feel a slight drag between the gasket and the cabinet.

- Do this on all four sides of the door.

- If you do not feel a slight drag on the

paper, the door is not sealing correctly.

- Have your dealer or an authorized THETFORD - China Service Center correct the seal

of the door.

Art00980

Troubleshooting

If the refrigerator does not cool correctly:

- Make sure the power switch / thermostat is not in the OFF position.

- Make sure the power switch / thermostat is at the temperature setting that you wish.

- Make sure that the power source to the refrigerator is serviceable.

- Make sure that the fuse or circuit breaker is intact (See “Over current protection system”)

- Make sure that the refrigerator is correctly installed and that the built in vents are not blocked.

- Make sure that the ambient temperature is not unusually high (more than 110° F. / 43° C.) (See “Over heating shut-off device

operation”).

- Make sure that the door is closed.

- If the weather is hot, make sure that the door is sealing correctly.

- Make sure that the air circulation inside the refrigerator is not decreased by foods or by shelves that are covered with plastic, paper,

etc.

- Make sure that hot foods were not placed in the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator.

- Make sure that the freezer is defrosted.

After you make these checks, if the refrigerator does not operate, contact your dealer or an authorized THETFORD - China Service

Center.

Owner’s Manual 10

Refrigerator Maintenance Checklist

Read and understand the following maintenance sections of this manual.

THETFORD - China is not responsible for installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance

performed by anyone other than an authorized THETFORD - China Service Center.

Have an authorized THETFORD - China Service Center do these annual safety and maintenance checks:

- Make sure the DC voltage is correct (See the “Electrical current necessary” section).

- 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 12 volt DC appliances.

- Make sure the area at the rear of the refrigerator is free of anything, especially combustible materials, gasoline, and other

ammable vapors and liquids.

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

than 212° F (100° C). The refrigerator will not restart until the temperature of the power module is lower than 176° F. (80° C).

Low voltage protection system:

In order to prevent completely draining the battery, the refrigerator will automatically shut-off when the DC supply voltage becomes too

low. The refrigerator will not restart until the DC supply voltages increases. These shut-off and restart voltage levels are:

12VDC Operation 24 VDC Operation

Shut-off 10.9 VDC Shut-off 23.8 VDC

Restart 12.2 VDC Restart 25.2VDC

If the DC supply voltage is between 17.0 and 23.8 VDC, the refrigerator will not operate.

Over current protection system:

Your refrigerator has an over current protection system in the electronic circuit to prevent damage to the inverter which may occur due

to a reverse polarity connection.

If the refrigerator does not operate and the green power light does not come on, check the fuse, which is located in-line with the DC

connector, and the polarity of the DC power supply. If the refrigerator still does not operate, another problem can exist in the power

module. Have an authorized THETFORD - China Service Center check the refrigerator.
