Operating Instructions

To properly use the Dometic toilet, follow these simple
instructions:
1. A good biodegradable tissue such as Dometic
is recommended.
2. To add water to the toilet before using, lift or raise
the flush pedal.
3. To flush toilet, push pedal all the way down until
sewage leaves the toilet bowl. Water flow pressures
vary at different locations and therefore, holding the
flush lever down 4-8 seconds may be required. We
recommend 2-4 GPM (8-15 Lpm) for proper rim and
bowl wash.
4. Release flush pedal by allowing it to snap back, which
permits positive sealing around the flush ball.
5. A small amount of water should remain in the bowl.
Note: Holding the flush pedal down longer than neces-
sary results in excessive water usage.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of sanitary napkins or other
non-dissolving items in the toilet.

Maintenance

CLEANING
The Dometic toilet should be cleaned regularly for
maximum sanitation and operational efficiency.
Clean the toilet bowl with a mild bathroom cleaner,
such as Dometic Toilet Bowl Cleaner. Do not use
®
chlorine or alcohol-based caustic chemicals such as
drain opening types, as they will damage the seals.
If an odor is apparent from the toilet:
1. Clean out system by flushing several gallons of fresh
water through with one cup of liquid laundry soap.
2. Add odor control deodorant in amount specified for
your holding tank capacity after cleaning and every
few days during use.
WINTERIZING
At the end of each season, the Dometic toilet should be
winterized for storage by either draining or using potable,
water-safe antifreeze in the system.
To drain:
1. Thoroughly flush system with fresh water.
2. Empty holding tank.
3. Shut off water supply to toilet. Remove inlet
waterline.
4. Press flush lever until all water is drained from
toilet.
