HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
THETFORD CASSETTE C260 TOILET
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.
Caution: 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.
Caution: Never use force if you cannot get the
tank back into place easily. This may cause serious
