2. To flush the toilet, push the lever all the way
down until sewage leaves the toilet and bowl
is rinsed clean.
3. Release the flush lever. A small amount of
water should remain in the bowl.
Please refer to the manufacturer’s informa-
tion supplied with the toilet for further operating
and maintenance instructions.
Important “Don’ts”
•
Don’t use facial tissue or regular toilet tissue
in the RV toilet. These will not disintegrate
sufficiently and will often cling to the sides
of the holding tank. Toilet tissue made spe-
cifically for use in RV toilets and holding
tanks is available at most RV supply centers.
•
Don’t dispose of sanitary napkins or other
non-dissolving items in the toilet.
•
Don’t put automotive antifreeze or caustic
chemicals, such as laundry bleach or heavy
detergents into the toilet or holding tank.
These products may damage plastic or rub-
ber parts in the system.
Cleaning the Toilet
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for
maximum sanitation and operating efficiency. If
an odor is apparent from the toilet:
1. Clean the toilet bowl with a mild bathroom
cleaner. Do not allow cleaners to set in the
bowl for long periods of time to avoid dam-
aging the seals. Do not use caustic or abra-
sive cleaners in the Thetford toilet since it
may damage the plastic surfaces.
2. Dump and rinse holding tank.
3. Add odor control chemical in amount speci-
fied after cleaning and every few days during
use.
4. Remove the water line from the base of the
toilet and clean the screen.
5. If the flush valve becomes stiff after
extended use, it may be lubricated with a
silicone spray. Turn the water pump off and
operate flush pedal to drain water from the
toilet bowl. Spray silicone lubricant onto
flush valve inside bowl and operate flush
pedal a few times to ensure free operation.
See instructions in Section 10 to prepare the
toilet for storage in freezing conditions.
POWER ROOF VENT - Bath Area
The power vent in the bathroom ceiling is
controlled by switches on the bathroom wall.
The VENT switch raises (open) or lowers
(close) the powered dome. The FAN switch con-
trols the single speed exhaust fan.
POWER ROOF VENT - Galley Area
The power roof vent in the galley ceiling has
a 3-speed turbine fan and a power dome. The
vent is controlled by a thermostat on the galley
wall, which will automatically raise the dome
and turn the fan on when the temperature
reaches the setting you have chosen. When the
air around the thermostat has cooled to below
the setting, the dome will automatically lower
and the fan will shut off.
The thermostat control can be placed in the
OFF position to cancel power to the power dome
and vent fan.
The fan shroud on the ceiling has a fan power
switch that lets you turn the fan off if you want
just the vent dome raised with no fan running.
The fan speed switch allows you to adjust the
amount of circulation you need at any time.
