HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
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.
Caution:
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.
-
Activate the Control Panel by pressing the
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 at
an authorized waste dump. Follow the
instructions for cleaning and maintenance. 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.
Toilet unit malfunctions
Contact your dealer or a Thetford Service
Centre.
We advise draining the fresh water tank prior to
travelling. Antifreeze should not be required if
the motor home is heated. If you do wish to use
antifreeze, brands containing the following
properties may be used in the fresh water tank:
•
Ethylene glycol
•
Mono-Ethylene glycol
•
Propane-diol
•
Glycerol
•
Ethane-diol
•
Glycol
Never use alcohol based antifreeze, i.e. Methanol,
Ethanol, and Iso-propanol.
