Thetford Norcold 982 - Manual (Page 6)

Interior Light
The interior light is located at the top of the
fresh food compartment. The light will turn on
when the fresh food compartment door is opened
and off when the door is closed. Power to the
light is activated when the refrigerator is turned
on and deactivated when the refrigerator is
turned off.
To replace the light bulb, disconnect the 12
volt DC from the rear of the refrigerator. Re-
move the light cover by sliding it towards the
rear of the fresh food compartment. Remove
the bulb from the light bracket. Replace the
bulb with a GE #214-2 bulb (use only the
recommended replacement bulb), which can
be purchased from most retail automotive cen-
ters. Re-install light cover. Reconnect 12 volt
DC.
Door Handle
The refrigerator door handles incorporate a
latch which insures complete closure of the
doors.
The handle is equipped with a storage latch
which enables the doors to be left partially
open to prevent build-up of odor during ex-
tended refrigerator shut-down periods.
Do not use storage latch as a travel latch. Using
storage latch as a travel latch allows doors to be
partially open.
To use the storage latch, open the door ap-
proximately 1/2 inch and slide the storage latch
into the cut-out on the strike plate.
To open the door, rotate the handle away
from the refrigerator. When closing, push the
door closed until an audible click heard, indi-
cating the door is latched.
