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.
Note:
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 authorised 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.
