Emptying with Optional Features
Waste Holding Tank Multi-Level Indicator: The lower lamp indicates that the Waste Holding Tank is
almost empty; the middle lamp indicates that it is more than half full; when the upper lamp lights up, the
tank needs emptying as it can only take 2 - 3 further uses.
▲
The Waste Holding Tank Level Indicator will flash when the holding tank is not present. In
this case the toilet will not flush.
3.10.6
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 Bathroom Cleaner.
▲
Never use bleach, vinegar or other powerful household cleaners that contain these
substances. These may cause permanent damage to the seals and other toilet
components.
Toilet Bowl
-
Squirt Thetford Bathroom Cleaner into the toilet bowl.
-
Flush the toilet bowl with water and 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 forming in your toilet bowl, add a correct
dosage of Aqua Rinse in your flush water tank.
Tip! For a really shining toilet, dry with a soft dry cloth after cleaning.
3.10.7
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. We advise a thorough cleaning of the Waste Holding
Tank once each season.
Next to using the Thetford’s Cassette Tank Cleaner, which is 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. 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.
