1.5 litres of water is left in the tank, which
is sufficient for approximately 2 flushes.
Emptying
The Waste Holding Tank has a capacity of 18
litres and requires emptying when the red
light (LED) on the toilet control display lights
up, when the Waste Holding Tank only has
capacity for approximately 2 more litres, which
is no more than two to three further uses.
Make sure that the blade is closed. Open the
access door located outside the vehicle, pull
the safety catch upwards and remove the
Waste Holding Tank.
16. Place the Waste Holding Tank in an upright
position (Pull-Out Handle at the top,
Wheels at the bottom). Slide the handle
sideways - to the front of the tank - until it
snaps out of its locked position.
17. Pull the handle up and wheel the Waste
Holding Tank to an authorised waste
disposal point.
18. Push the handle back into its locked
position. Turn the emptying spout upwards
and remove the cap from the spout. Hold
the Waste Holding Tank in such a way
that during emptying you can operate the
vent plunger with your thumb. To empty
the tank without splashing, depress the
vent plunger while emptying the tank.
After emptying, rinse the tank and blade
thoroughly with water.
Warning! Do not seriously shake the tank
or use high pressure water cleaners. This
may cause damage to the tank’s interior.
Note. The vent plunger should only be
depressed once the emptying spout is pointing
downwards. Prepare the toilet for re-use if
required. Slide the Waste Holding Tank into the
toilet and close the access door.

19. Waste Holding Tank Multi-Level Indicator:
The lower lamp indicates that the Waste
Holding Tank is almost empty; the middle
lamp indicates that it is more than half full;
when the upper lamp lights up, the tank
needs emptying as it can only take 2 - 3
further uses.
Note. The Waste Holding Tank Level Indicator
will flash when the holding tank is not present.
In this case the toilet will not flush.

activating the control panel this feature
automatically lights up. When the Waste

tank Into the vehicle’s waste tank. The
button will flash while the waste is being
pumped and will stop automatically (after
approximately 5 minutes) when all waste
has been transferred.
If the vehicle’s waste tank is full, the Waste
Pump-Out light will flash rapidly and no
pump-out will be possible until the central
tank is emptied. (Check the level of the
vehicle’s waste tank on the vehicle’s central
console). After the Waste Holding Tank has
been emptied, there will be approximately
1.5 litres of waste left in the tank. This is
normal. Add 2 litres of water and a correct
dosage of Thetford toilet fluids to the
Waste Holding Tank.
Important! It is vital that the correct
amount of toilet fluid is added to ensure
the proper breakdown of the waste in the
holding tank. only use the system when
the tank is full. Using the system too often
on an empty tank can cause damage to
the pump, which could cause the system
to fail.
Cleaning and maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned and maintained
regularly, depending on the amount of use. To
clean Thetford toilets, we advise using water
and Thetford Bathroom Cleaner.
Note. Never use bleach, vinegar or other
powerful household cleaners that contain
these substances. These may cause permanent
damage to the seals and other toilet
components.

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. For more
information on Thetford toilet fluids, see
last page of the Thetford user 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 the Thetford
user manual.
Warning! 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.

Warning! never use force if you cannot
get the tank back into place easily. This
may cause serious damage. If blockage
occurs, always check if the blade handle is
in the correct (closed) position.
7. For toilets with own Flush-Water Tank:
Open the water filling door and fill the
flush-water tank with the correct dosage
of Aqua Rinse. This Thetford toilet fluid

the flushing. Next, fill up the flush-water
tank with clean water (approximately 8
litres) using a jerry can or hose. Your toilet
is now ready to use.
