CAUTIONARY NOTES:
Do not discharge any acids, alkaloids, solvents
painting, paint strippers, food waste, plastic bags,
metal such as nails, hairpins, wood, building materials,
kitty litter or anything that could halt or damage or
corrode the unit.
Disregarding the above might damage the macerating
unit and shall void your warranty.
Do not hang bleach blocks or hydrochloride cleaners
in the toilet tank. These solutions have been shown
to deteriorate the plastic and neoprene components
of the flush and fill valves, and may cause leaks. In the
event of a power loss do not use the toilet or any other
sanitary fixture connected to the macerating unit since
it will not work until the power is restored.
