Toilet Bowl
- Squirt Thetford Toilet Bowl Cleaner into the toilet bowl
and use Thetford Bathroom Cleaner for the outside of the
toilet. Read the product instructions before use.
- Flush the toilet bowl with water and wipe down the rest
of the toilet with a damp cloth.
- Clean seat and cover. The seat and cover can easily be
removed: Lift the seat and cover assembly and pull the
round pins (inside the assembly) outwards from the
pin holes. After cleaning, replace the seat and cover by
positioning the round pins in front of the pin holes and
push the lid and seat downwards.
- To keep your flush water fresh and to prevent deposits
from forming in your toilet bowl, add a correct dosage of
Aqua Rinse in your flush-water tank, if present, on your
toilet.
Tip! For a really shining toilet, dry with a soft dry cloth after
cleaning.
Waste-holding tank
For normal and effective use of your waste-holding tank,
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. See page 50 for more information
(=matrix). We advise a thorough cleaning of the waste-
holding tank once each season. Next to using Thetford’s
Cassette Tank Cleaner, the powerful cleaning agent for the
periodical cleaning of the waste-holding tank of your toilet,
we suggest the following:
- Remove the removable mechanism from the waste-
holding tank by turning it anti-clockwise and rinse it
under a tap.
- 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 degrees
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.
- If your toilet has a Waste Pump-Out system, remember
to periodically clean the connecting mechanism between
waste-holding tank and Waste Pump-Out system and
treat it with Thetford High Grade Seal Lubricant.
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.
Note. 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.
Cleaning and maintenance for optional features
- Electric Ventilator: The filter of the Electric Ventilator
needs to be renewed periodically. After approximately 4
full weeks of use, the filter loses its absorption power.
- Waste Pump-Out system: To ensure optimal functionality
of the Waste Pump-Out system, periodical maintenance
of the tube and pump is recommended. After emptying
the waste-holding tank completely, fill it with clean water
and empty it by pumping the water to the central waste-
holding tank. Do this twice. This will clean the pump and
the hose. Do this once every 3 weeks when on holiday.
Every 6 weeks fill the waste-holding tank once with clean
water, empty it, and once with clean water ànd Thetford
Cassette Tank Cleaner and empty it. This should ensure
proper operation of the system.
WINTER OPERATION
You can use your Thetford Cassette Toilet as normal in cold
weather as long as the toilet is situated in a heated location.
If there is a risk of freezing we advise that the toilet is
drained by following the instructions under ‘Storage’ or use
MPG (Mono Propylene Glycol)
STORAGE
It is important that you follow the instructions below if you
do not expect to use your Thetford toilet for a long (winter)
period.
- If your toilet is connected to your vehicle’s central
drinking water tank, please empty this tank first. When
the central drinking water tank is empty, activate the
Control Panel by pressing the flush button. Open the
blade and press the flush button until water stops
flowing into the bowl. Close the blade. Open the
access door on the outside of your caravan or camper
and empty the waste-holding tank at an authorized
waste dump. Follow the instructions for cleaning and
maintenance. To allow the waste-holding tank to dry,
do not place the cap back on the emptying spout of the
tank.
21. If the toilet has its own flush-water tank, place a
sufficiently large bowl under the drain tube to catch the
remaining water from the flush-water tank and remove
the drain plug. When no more water exits, put the drain
plug on the drain tube, put it back in its original position
and close the access door. If the toilet is connected to
the vehicle’s water tank, please follow your vehicle’s
instructions for draining the central water system. If
your toilet is optionally featured with a Waste Pump-Out
system, take out the waste-holding tank and completely
clean it (see Cleaning and Maintenance) including the
holding tank cover and docking part. After cleaning, fill it
with fresh water, put it back and empty it via the Waste
Pump-Out system. Once more fill the tank with fresh
water and Thetford Cassette Tank Cleaner, put it back
and again empty it via the Waste Pump-Out system.
Finally for thorough cleaning fill the cassette once more
with fresh water and use the Waste Pump-Out system to
empty it. Then remove the waste-holding tank and empty
it completely. To allow the waste-holding tank to dry,
