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

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). After cleaning, fill it
with water, put it back and empty it via the
waste pump-out system. Repeat this twice.

wipe down the rest of the toilet with a
damp cloth.
• Clean seat and lid The seat and lid can
easily be removed: Lift the seat and lid
assembly and pull the round pins (inside
the assembly) outwards from the pin holes.
After cleaning, replace the seat and
lid 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
To keep your Waste Holding Tank fresh and
clean, 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 46 of the Thetford user manual 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 Pressure Release Vent
using the same method in reverse.
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
• Automatic Ventilation: The filter of
the Automatic Ventilation needs to be
renewed periodically. After approximately
4 full weeks of use, the filter loses its
absorption power.
• Pump-Out Waste System: To ensure
optimal functionality of the Pump-Out
Waste 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 again. This will clean the pump
and the hose. Do this once every 3 weeks
when on holiday. 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’. For environmental reasons the use of
antifreeze, such as that used in car radiators, is
not recommended.
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.
