18. Push the handle back. Turn the emptying spout upwards and
remove the cap from the spout. Hold the waste tank by the upper
handle with one hand, while placing your other hand by the rear
handle so that during emptying you can operate the vent plunger
with your thumb. To empty the tank without splashing, depress the
vent plunger while emptying the tank.
After emptying, flush the tank thoroughly with water. Also clean
the valve blade with water.
Note ! The vent plunger should only be pressed once the emptying
spout is pointing downwards!
19. If required make the toilet ready for use once again. Return the
water filling extension to its original position on the waste tank.
Slide the waste tank into the toilet and close the access door.
STORAGE
It is important that you follow the instructions below if you do not
expect to use the Thetford toilet for a long period.
Completely empty the water tank through the drain tube, which also
serves as a level indicator. Take the drain tube out of the clamp and
carefully pull it downwards from the upper plug. Direct the drain tube
out through the access door opening to allow water to flow out.
Afterwards, be sure the drain tube is placed back into the clamp first
and then pushed back into the upper plug.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The toilet should be cleaned and maintained regularly, depending on
the amount of use. To clean Thetford toilets, we advise using water and
Thetford Plastic Cleaner.
Note! Never use household cleaners (bleach, solvents or other
powerful cleaning agents). These may cause permanent damage to
the seals and other toilet components.
Toilet
- Squirt Thetford Plastic Cleaner in the toilet.
- Flush the bowl with water and wipe down the rest of the toilet with
a damp cloth.
Tip! For a really shining toilet, dry it with a soft dry cloth after
cleaning.
- Clean seat and lid. The seat and lid can easily be removed. Lift the
lid and seat together and pull upwards. After cleaning, replace the
seat and lid by positioning the round pins above the holes and
then pushing the lid and seat downwards.
Waste tank
We advise a thorough cleaning of the waste tank once each season.
- Remove the mechanism from the waste tank by turning it anti-
clockwise, as shown on the waste tank. Rinse the complete
mechanism under a tap.
- Remove the cover plate from the automatic pressure release
vent by prising it up using a 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 the float a half turn and remove it from below. Remove
the rubber seal that is under the float. Rinse the float and
rubber seal under a tap. Replace the rubber seal and the float for
the automatic pressure release vent in the same way.
The rubber seals in the toilet (the valve blade seal, the mechanism seal,
the automatic pressure release vent seal and the cap seal) should be
regularly treated with Thetford High Grade Seal Lubricant. This will
ensure that the seals remain supple 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.
N.B. The valve blade seal is a part of the toilet that is subject to wear.
Depending on the extent and manner of service, after a certain period
the seal will become less effective and must be replaced.
WINTER OPERATION
You can use your Thetford cassette toilet as usual in cold weather, as
long as the toilet is situated in a heated location. If this is not the case
there is a risk of freezing. In that case we advise that the toilet is
drained by following the instructions under 'Storage'.
For environmental reasons the use of antifreeze, such as that used in a
car radiator, is not advised.
