To activate the control panel, press the flush-
button once. The control panel display will stay
activated for approximately 5 minutes. Run
some water into the bowl by pressing the flush
button again briefly.
The toilet should be used with the blade open.
To open the blade, slide the blade handle under
the toilet bowl sideways. After use, open the
blade (if still closed) and flush the toilet by
pressing the flush button for several seconds
(if necessary re-activate the control panel).
Close the blade after use. If your toilet has its
own flush-water tank, please make sure that
you do not travel with a flush-water tank that
is too full and with water in the toilet bowl.
Failure to adhere to this notice may result in
water damage to your motorhome.
The waste holding tank requires emptying
when the red light (LED) on the toilet control
display lights up. At that point the waste
holding tank only has capacity for two more
litres which is no more than two to three
further uses.

Cleaning And Maintenance

The toilet should be cleaned and maintained
regularly, depending on the amount of use. To
clean the Thetford toilet, we advise using water
and Thetford Bathroom Cleaner. Never use
bleach, vinegar or other powerful household
cleaners that contain these substances. These
may cause permanent damage to the seals and
other toilet components.

Cleaning The Toilet Bowl

1. Squirt Thetford Bathroom Cleaner into the
toilet bowl.
2. Flush the toilet bowl with water and wipe
down the rest of the toilet with a damp
cloth.
3. To clean the seat and lid, remove by lifting
the seat and lid assembly and pulling the
round pins (inside the assembly) outwards
from the pin holes. After cleaning, replace
the seat and lid by positioning the round
pins in front of the pin holes and push the
lid and seat downwards.
4. To keep your flush water fresh and to
prevent deposits forming in your toilet
bowl, add a correct dosage of Aqua Rinse
in your flush-water tank.
5. Dry with a soft dry cloth after cleaning.

Cleaning the Waste Holding Tank

To keep your waste holding tank fresh and clean,
Thetford has developed a number of different
toilet fluids. Thetford toilet fluids suppress
smells, reduce formation of gas, promote
breakdown of toilet waste and increase the life
span of a mobile toilet. We advise a thorough
cleaning of the waste holding tank once each
season.
Next to using Thetford's Cassette Tank Cleaner,
which is the powerful cleaning agent for the
periodical cleaning of the waste holding tank of
your toilet we suggest the following:
1. Remove the removable mechanism from
the waste holding tank by turning it anti-
clockwise and rinse it under a tap.
2. Remove the cover plate from the automatic
pressure release vent by prising it up using
a small screwdriver. Use one hand to push
the automatic pressure release vent open
while holding the float of the automatic
pressure release vent on the inside of the
tank with the other hand. Push the float
upwards, turn it 180° and remove it from
below. Remove the rubber seal underneath
the float. Rinse the float and rubber seal
under a tap. Replace the rubber seal and
float for the automatic pressure release
vent using the same method in reverse.
3. The rubber seals in the toilet (the lip
seal, the mechanism seal, the automatic
pressure release vent seal and the cap seal)
should be regularly cleaned with water and
treated with Thetford High Grade Seal
Lubricant. This will ensure that the seals
remain flexible and in good condition. If
the toilet is not to be used for any length of
time, it is important to treat the seals with
Thetford High Grade Seal Lubricant after
cleaning.
4. Never use Vaseline or any vegetable oil
except olive oil. These may cause leakage
or malfunction. The lip seal is a part of the
toilet that is subject to wear. Depending
upon the extent and manner of use, the
seals will become less effective and will
need replacing periodically.
