Toilet Bowl
• Squirt Thetford Bathroom Cleaner into the toilet
bowl.
• Flush the toilet bowl with water and wipe down
the rest of the toilet with a damp cloth.
• Clean seat and lid. The seat and lid can easily be
removed: Lift the seat and lid assembly and pull
the round pins (inside the assembly) outwards
from the pin holes. After cleaning, replace the
seat and lid by positioning the round pins in
front of the pin holes and push the lid and seat
downwards.
• To keep your ush water fresh and to prevent
deposits forming in your toilet bowl, add a
correct dosage of Aqua Rinse in your ush water
tank.
•
• Tip! For a really shining toilet, dry with a soft
dry cloth after cleaning.
Waste Holding Tank
To keep your Waste Holding Tank fresh and clean,
Thetford has developed a number of different toilet
uids. Thetford toilet uids suppress smells, reduce
formation of gas, promote breakdown of toilet
waste and increase the life span of a mobile toilet.
We advise a thorough cleaning of the Waste Holding
Tank once each season.
Next to using the Thetford’s Cassette Tank Cleaner,
which is the powerful cleaning agent for the
periodical cleaning of the waste Holding Tank of
your toilet we suggest the following.
• Remove the removable mechanism from the
Waste Holding Tank by turning it anti-clockwise
and rinse it under a tap.
• Remove the cover plate from the Automatic
Pressure Release Vent by prising it up using a
small screwdriver. Use one hand to push the
Automatic Pressure Release Vent open while
holding the oat of the Automatic Pressure
Release Vent on the inside of the tank with the
other hand. Push the oat upwards, turn it 180
degrees and remove it from below. Remove
the rubber seal underneath the oat. Rinse the
oat and rubber seal under a tap. Replace the
rubber seal and oat for the Automatic Pressure
Release Vent using the same method in reverse.
The rubber seals in the toilet (the lip seal,
the mechanism seal, the automatic pressure
release vent seal and the cap seal) should be
regularly cleaned with water and treated with
Thetford High Grade Seal Lubricant. This will
ensure that the seals remain exible 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.
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.
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.
