HOW TO USE YOUR MOTORHOME’S
EQUIPMENT
THETFORD BENCH TOILET
Preparing the toilet for use
Open the access door on the outside of your
motorhome.
Rotate the waste tank emptying spout 90 degrees
and remove the water filling extension (you will
find it positioned beneath the handle closest to
the emptying spout).
Rotate the water fill funnel outwards, remove the
cap and place the extension on the water fill
funnel. Add the stated amount of Thetford fresh
water additive to the water tank. This ensures a
better and cleaner flush and keeps the water in
the flush tank fresh.
Fill the water tank with clean water.
WARNING: Keep water level below the
top of the water filling funnel.
Remove the extension and return to its original
position on the waste tank.
Note: Depending on the space between the
door and waste tank, this extension part may also
be fixed on the door with a hook.
Screw the cap back onto the water filling funnel
and push back inwards towards the side of the
flush water tank.
Note: 150 ml of water will remain in the water
fill funnel when the water tank is empty.
1. Remove the waste tank by pulling the safety
catch upwards.
2. Pull the waste tank outward to the stop. Tip
it slightly and take the tank fully out.
3. Place the tank upright and turn the emptying
spout upwards.
4. Remove the cap, with the measuring cup
inside, from the emptying spout and pour the
stated quantity of toilet fluid into the waste
tank. This avoids unpleasant smells in the
waste tank and keeps the inside of the waste
tank clean. Next add approximately 2 litres of
water - enough to ensure that the bottom of
the waste tank is covered. Screw the cap
back onto the emptying spout. Turn the
emptying spout back to its original position.
N.B.: The emptying spout measuring cap is
supplied in the same packaging as this manual.
WARNING: Never add toilet fluid via the
valve blade or via the toilet bowl.
5. Slide the waste tank back into its original
position via the access door.
Note: Never use force if you cannot get the tank
back into place easily. This may cause serious
damage.
6 Make sure that the waste tank is secured
with the safety catch. Shut the access door
and lock it.
USE
7. Run water into the bowl by pressing the
flush knob briefly or open the valve blade by
turning the handle anti-clockwise. Your
Thetford toilet is now ready for use.
8. After use, open the valve blade (if still closed)
by turning the handle anti-clockwise. Flush
the toilet by pressing the flush knob for
several seconds. Close the valve blade after
use.
Note: Do not leave water in the bowl if the
toilet is not being used. This does not help to
reduce unpleasant smells and only leads to
flooding.
Important: Please do not travel with water in
the flush tank of your toilet. Failure to adhere to
this notice may result in water damage to your
motorhome.
When entirely necessary, up to 2 litres can be
added to the flush tank giving you enough water
for two flushes. Having less than 2 litres of water
in the flush tank will not cause any damage to the
toilet or the motorhome.
Please be aware that travelling with more than 2
litres of water in the flush tank can cause water
damage to both the toilet compartment and to
the motorhome itself as water can escape from
around the flushing mechanism. This is due to the
fact that the flushing mechanism is used as the
entry point for anyone needing to carry out
maintenance procedures and is therefore not
water tight.
EMPTYING
The waste tank has a capacity of 19 litres and
must be emptied at the latest when the red light
in the level display lights up. The indicator lamp
will light up when the waste tank can still take
