Preparing for use
1. Open the access door on the outside of
your motorhome.
2. Remove the Waste Holding Tank by pulling
the safety catch (which holds the tank in
place) upwards.
3. Pull the Waste Holding Tank outward to
the stop. Tip it slightly and take the tank
fully out.
4. Place the tank upright and turn the rotating
emptying spout upwards. The emptying
spout ensures that the tank can be easily
and hygienically emptied.
5. Remove the cap, with the measuring cup
inside, from the emptying spout and pour
the correct dosage of Thetford toilet fluid
(see product label) into the holding tank.
This avoids unpleasant smells and keeps
the inside of the tank clean. Next add
approximately 2 litres of water - enough to
ensure that the bottom of the Waste Holding
Tank is covered. For more information on
Thetford toilet fluids, see last page of the
Thetford user manual. Screw the cap back
onto the emptying spout and turn back to
its original position.
Note: The Emptying Spout Measuring Cap
is supplied in the same packaging as the
Thetford user manual.
!
WARNING: Never add toilet fluid
directly via the blade or the toilet bowl as
this could damage the lip seal of the Waste
Holding Tank. Always pour the fluids via the
emptying spout.
6. Slide the Waste Holding Tank back into its
original position via the access door. Make
sure that it is secured with the safety catch.
Close the access door and lock it. Your
Thetford toilet is now ready to use.
!
WARNING: Never use force if you
cannot get the tank back into place easily.
This may cause serious damage. If blockage
occurs, always check if the blade handle is
in the correct (closed) position.
Using the toilet
7. Turn the bowl to the desired position with
the lid closed and using both hands.
8. 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.
9. The toilet may be used with the blade open
or closed. 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.
Emptying
The Waste Holding Tank has a capacity of
18 litres and requires emptying when the red
light (LED) on the toilet control display lights
up, when the Waste Holding Tank only has
capacity for approximately 2 more litres, which
is no more than two to three further uses.
Make sure that the blade is closed. Open the
access door located outside the vehicle, pull
the safety catch upwards and remove the
Waste Holding Tank.
10. Place the Waste Holding Tank in an upright
position (Pull-Out Handle at the top,
Wheels at the bottom). Slide the handle
sideways - to the front of the tank - until it
snaps out of its locked position.
11. Pull the handle up and wheel the Waste
Holding Tank to an authorised waste
disposal point.
12. Push the handle back into its locked
position. Turn the emptying spout upwards
and remove the cap from the spout. Hold
the Waste Holding Tank in such a way
that during emptying you can operate the
vent plunger with your thumb. To empty
the tank without splashing, depress the
