HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
THETFORD C-260 CASSETTE TOILET
RANGE
Introduction
The Thetford Cassette Toilet is a high quality
product. The toilet forms an integral part of your
caravan or camper bathroom, thanks to its
functional design which combines modern styling
and ease of use. The C-260 Cassette Toilet is
manufactured from high quality synthetic
materials which makes it a durable, user and
maintenance friendly toilet.
The toilet is made up of two parts: a permanently
fixed part and a Waste Holding Tank that is
accessible from the outside. The removable Waste
Holding Tank is located under the toilet bowl and
can be removed via a door on the outside of the
caravan or camper. The Thetford Cassette Toilet is
the solution to the sanitary problem in your
caravan or camper!
The operating instructions cover Thetford
Cassette Toilet models C-260S, C-260CS (models
connected to the vehicle’s central water tank)
and C-260CWE (model with its own flush-water
tank). There are differences in the use of these
models. Please ensure that you follow the
instructions that apply to your toilet model.
Preparing for use (standard)
1. Open the access door on the outside of your
caravan or camper.
2. Remove the Waste Holding Tank by pulling
the safety catch (which holds the tank in
place) upwards.
3. Pull the Waste Holding Tank outward to the
stop. Tip it slightly and take the tank fully out.
4. Place the tank upright and turn the rotating
emptying spout upwards. The emptying spout
ensures that the tank can be easily and
hygienically emptied.
5. Remove the cap, with the measuring cup
inside, from the emptying spout and pour the
correct dosage of Thetford toilet fluid (see
product label) into the holding tank. This
avoids unpleasant smells and keeps the inside
of the tank clean. Next add approximately 2
litres of water - enough to ensure that the
bottom of the Waste Holding Tank is
covered. Far more information on Thetford
toilet fluids, see last page of this manual.
Screw the cap back onto the emptying spout
and turn back to its original position.
Note: The Emptying Spout Measuring Cap is
supplied in the same packaging as this manual.
WARNING: Never add toilet fluid directly
via the blade or the toilet bowl as this
could damage the lip seal of the Waste
Holding Tank. Always pour the fluids via the
emptying spout.
6. Slide the Waste Holding Tank back into its
original position via the access door. Make
sure that it is secured with the safety catch.
Close the access door and lock it. Your
Thetford toilet is now ready to use.
WARNING: Never use force if you cannot
get the tank back into place easily. This
may cause serious damage. If blockage
occurs, always check if the blade handle is
in the correct (closed) position.
7. For toilets with own Flush-Water Tank: Open
the water filling door and fill the flush-water
tank with the correct dosage of Aqua Rinse.
This Thetford toilet fluid keeps the flush
water fresh and improves the flushing. Next,
fill up the flush-water tank with clean water
(approximately 8 litres) using a ferry can or
hose. Your toilet is now ready to use.
Preparing for use with Optional Features
8. Automatic Ventilator: Open the access door
on the outside of your caravan and remove
the Waste Holding Tank (as described above).
9. Remove the filter housing cover and if no
filter is present, place a new filter into the
filter housing. Peel off the sticker lids on the
filter. Place back the cover of the filter
housing.
Using the toilet (standard)
10. Turn the bowl to the desired position with
the lid closed and using both hands.
11. To activate the control panel, press the
flush-button once. The control panel display
will stay activated for approximately 5
minutes. Run some water into the bowl by
pressing the flush button again briefly.
12. The toilet may be used with the blade open
or closed. To open the blade, slide the blade
handle under the toilet bowl sideways. After
