Thetford Norcold 9183 - Manual (Page 5)

Crisper
The crisper in the bottom of the fresh food compartment, provides storage to preserve fruit and vegetable
freshness. Wrap vegetables with strong odors so the odor does not transmit to other foods. Keep the crisper
pushed in all the way. IMPORTANT! The crisper is not dishwasher safe.
Door Storage
The door storage areas hold items such as 2-liter bottles, half-gallon milk cartons, pop cans, ketsup bottles,
and other commonly used items.
Moisture Reduction Heater
This refrigerator has a heater to prevent moisture from forming on the center divider between the freezer and
fresh food compartment doors. The heater starts and stops when the refrigerator is turned On and Off.
Interior Light
The interior light is at the top of the fresh food
compartment. The light activates or deactivates
when the refrigerator is turned on or off. The light
turns on when the fresh food compartment door
opens and off when the door closes. If the fresh
food compartment door stays open for more than
2 minutes, the light turns off. Close the door (listen
for a click) to reset the controls and light.
To replace the light bulb:
Disconnect the 12 VDC from the rear of the
refrigerator.
Slide the light cover toward the front of the fresh
food compartment and pull it away from the light
bracket.
Remove the bulb from the light bracket.
Replace the bulb with a GE #214-2 bulb (use
only this replacement bulb which can be pur-
chased from most retail automotive centers).
Re-install light cover and reconnect 12 VDC.
Door Handle
The refrigerator door handles use a latch to in-
sure complete door closure. The handle has a
storage latch to enable the doors to be left partially
open to prevent odor build-up during extended
shut-down periods.
Improtant! Do not use storage latch as a travel
latch. Storage latch allows doors to remain
partially open.
To use the storage latch, open the door about 1/2
inch and slide the storage latch into the cut-out on
the strike plate.
