6.4 Cleaning and Maintenance
6.4.1 It is advisable to clean the seal and blade with Thetford bathroom cleaner and
rinse with water. Alternatively use a lukewarm solution of diluted washing-up
liquid. Never use household cleaners as they could cause irreversible damage to
the seal and other toilet parts.
6.4.2 Dry the seal and blade thoroughly. Spray both the seal and blade economically
with silicone spray, alternatively use olive oil. No Vaseline or vegetable oils other
than olive oil should be used as they may cause problems.
6.4.3 Repeat the operation if the seal/blade is dirty or if opening/closing of the blade is
getting more difficult. When putting the toilet into storage or not using for a long
period (i.e. winter), then the seal should be kept clean and lubricated. The blade
of the toilet should also be left open as this prevents the seal from sticking to the
blade if any moisture remains on the blade.
6.4.4 The rest of the toilet can be safety and effectively cleaned with Thetford bathroom
cleaner. On parts where rinsing is not practical, use a damp cloth, then wipe dry
with a soft piece of fabric or duster for extra shine. Alternatively use a lukewarm
solution of washing-up liquid.
6.4.5 It is advisable to drain the fresh water tank prior to travelling. Anti-freeze should
not be required if the motorhome is heated. If you do not wish to use anti-freeze,
brands containing the following properties may be used in the fresh water tank:
Ethylene glycol
ii. Mono-ethylene glycol
iii. Propane-diol
iv. Glycerol
V.
Ethane-diol
vi. Glycol
6.4.6 Never use alcohol based anti-freeze, i.e. Methanol, Ethanol and Iso-propanol.
6.6 Cold W eather Use
6.6.1 The toilet can be used in cold weather conditions provided that the toilet is in
heated surroundings. When the vehicle is not heated for more than a day or night
winterise the Cassette (See Winterization, Section 9.5).
6.7 High Altitude and Hot Weather Use
6.7.1 Pressure may build up in the holding tank if the tank is not inserted while driving
at high altitudes or in warm weather conditions. The automatic holding tank vent
will vent the tank when there is over or under pressure. High temperatures may
require additional Thetford toilet fluid.
