Note! Some vehicles are equipped with a high-pressure
water pump. This can result in a powerful flush that spills
over the top of the toilet bowl. In this case use the
pressure reducer supplied (packed with the toilet
instructions). This pressure reducer must be inserted into
the water hose at the point where the toilet is connected to
the central water system.

11aAfter use, open the valve blade (if it is still closed) and
flush the toilet by pressing the flush button. Close the
valve blade after flushing.
Note! Do not leave water in the bowl if the toilet is not
being used. This does not help to reduce unpleasant
smells and only leads to flooding.
Important Warning Notice! Please do not travel with
water in the flush tank of your toilet. Failure to adhere
to this notice may result in water damage to your
caravan or motor home.
EMPTYING
The waste tank must be emptied, at the latest, when the
warning lamp is lit. It is advisable to empty the waste tank
earlier. The warning lamp illuminates when the waste tank
contains in excess of 15 litres. This indicates that a capacity
of 2 litres is left, which will allow approximately 5 uses.
Note! Do not allow the waste tank to become too full.
12 Make sure that the valve blade is closed. Open the
access door outside the vehicle. Pull the safety catch
upwards and remove the waste tank.
13 Carry the tank by the handles to a normal toilet or to a
legal waste disposal site. Place the waste tank upright
on the ground and turn the emptying spout upwards.
14 Remove the emptying spout cap. Hold the waste tank
by the upper handle nearest to the emptying spout.

Hold the rear handle with your other hand so that you
can operate the vent plunger with your thumb. Keep
the vent plunger pressed in to ensure the tank is
emptied without splashing.
Note! The vent plunger should only be pressed once
the emptying spout is pointing downwards!
After emptying, flush the tank and clean the valve blade
thoroughly with water. Also, clean the valve blade with
water. Slide the waste tank into the toilet and close the
access door.
STORAGE
S / CS
First empty the central water system. Press the flush button
until the remaining water has been pumped away. Empty
the waste tank. To allow the tank to dry, do not place the
cap back on the emptying spout of the waste tank.
CW / CWE
Empty the flush water tank by moving the flush handle up
and down (C-200 CW) or by pressing the flush button
(C-200 CWE). Flush the tank until it is empty and no more
water is being pumped out. Then empty the waste tank.
To allow the tank to dry, do not place the cap back on the
emptying spout of the waste tank. Place a sufficiently large
bowl under the drain plug to catch the remaining water
from the water tank and remove the drain plug.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The waste tank seal, the automatic pressure release vent
seal and the cap seal must be cleaned regularly. When the
toilet is being used frequently, monthly cleaning is
generally sufficient. We advise cleaning the seals and valve
blade with Thetford Bathroom Cleaner.
Note! Never use household cleaners (bleach, solvents or
other powerful cleaning agents). These may cause
permanent damage to the seals and other toilet components.
If the toilet will not be used for a long period, it is
advisable to clean the seals and coat them lightly with
Thetford Seal Lubricant. This will ensure that they remain
in good condition (supple).
Note! Never use Vaseline or any vegetable oil. These may
cause leakage.
N.B. The valve blade seal is a part of the toilet that is
subject to wear. Depending on the extent and manner of
servicing, after a certain period the seal will lose quality
and must be replaced.

WINTER USE

You can continue to use your Thetford cassette toilet in
cold weather, as long as the toilet is situated in a heated
location. If not, there is a risk of freezing. In this case we
advise that the toilet is drained by following the
instructions under 'Storage'.
