reference. If you want to continue using your
toilet after emptying, prepare the waste-holding

tank that is more than ¾ full. This may cause
leakage through the venting system.
Flush-water tank
(only for C262-models)
The flush-water tank has a capacity of 8L. Only
empty the flush-water tank completely if you don't
expect to use your toilet for a long (winter) period.
Place a sufficiently large bowl under the drain tube
and catch the remaining water. Empty this bowl at
an authorised waste disposal point.
See 'Quick Guide' diagrams 33-38 for visual
reference.
To prevent water damage to your caravan or
motor home, ensure that you don't travel with
a full flush-water tank or with water in the bowl.
6 Cleaning
Just like your toilet at home,
it is also important to clean
this Cassette Toilet regularly.
You will prevent limescale
and ensure optimal hygiene.
Clean the inside of the bowl
with Toilet Bowl Cleaner and a
soft brush and use Bathroom
Cleaner for the outside of the toilet.
Never use household cleaners to clean your
toilet. These may cause permanent damage
to the seals and other toilet components.
Waste Pump-Out system (if applicable)
Fill the emptied waste-holding tank with
water and place the tank back. Then activate
the control panel. Press the Waste Pump-Out
system button to pump the water through the
system. Do this once every 3 weeks.

7 Winter use

You can use your toilet as normal in cold weather
as long as the toilet is situated in a heated
location. If this is not the case, and there is a risk
of frost, we advise not to use your toilet. Make
sure you completely empty the waste-holding
tank. For a C262-model also empty the flush-
water tank.
