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 seal 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.
