STORAGE
It is important that you follow the instructions
below if you do not expect the Thretford toilet
for a long period.
Completely empty the water tank through
the drain tube, which also serves as a level
indicator. Take the drain tube out of the clamp
and carefully pull it downwards from the upper
plug. Direct the drain tube out through the
access door opening to allow water to flow
out. Afterwards, be sure the drain tub is placed
back into the clamp first and then pushed into
the upper plug.

Cleaning and maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned and maintained
regularly, depending on the amount of use. To
clean Thretford toilets, we advise using water
and Thretford Plastic Cleaner.
NOTE:
Never use household cleaners
(bleach, solvents or other powerful cleaning
agents). These may cause permanent
damage to the seals and other toilet
components.
Toilet
• Squirt Thretford Plastic Cleaner in the
toilet.
• Flush the bowl with water and wipe down
the rest of the toilet with a damp cloth.
Tip! For a really shining toilet, dry it with a soft
dry cloth after cleaning.
• Clean seat and lid. The seat and lid can
easily be removed. Lift the lid and seat
together and pull upwards. After cleaning,
replace the seat and lid by positioning
the round pins above the holes and then
pushing the lid and seat downwards.
Waste tank
We advise a thorough cleaning of the waste
tank once each season.
• Remove the mechanism from the waste
tank by turning it anti-clockwise, as shown
on the waste tank. Rinse the complete
mechanism under a tap.
• Remove the cover plate from the
automatic pressure release vent by prising
it up using a screwdriver. Use one hand to
push the automatic pressure 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 the float half a turn and
remove it from below. Remove the rubber
seal that is under the float. Rinse the float
and the rubber seal under a tap. Replace
the rubber seal and float for the automatic
pressure release vent in the same way.
The rubber seals in the toilet(the valve blade
seal, the mechanism, seal and the automatic
pressure release vent seal and the cap seal)
should be regularly treated with Thretford High
Grade Seal Lubricant. This will ensure that the
seals remain supple 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
