toilet by twisting the flush handle to the right (C4) or by depressing
on the flush knob (C2 and C3). Close the valve blade after use.

flooding.

13. Toilet paper remains clean and dry in the specially designed
integrated storage compartment. The toilet roll may also be fixed
to the wall with the special holder supplied with the unit.
14. Replacing toilet roll: Remove the toilet roll holder from the storage
compartment on its cover. Hold the bottom of the holder in one
hand and the cover in the other. Push inwards gently and turn in
opposite directions until you hear a click. Disconnect the two
parts. Replace toilet roll. Press holder and cover back together
and turn in opposite directions again until they click into place. To
avoid blockages we advise the use of Aqua Soft fast dissolving
toilet paper.
EMPTYING
The waste tank has a capacity of 20 litres. This must be emptied, at the
latest, when the waste level indicator has turned from green to fully red.
It is advisable to empty the waste tank earlier. The waste level indicator
does not begin to change from green to red until the tank is
Note! Do not allow the waste tank to become too full.

located outside the vehicle. Press the safety catch downwards and
remove the waste tank.

16. Carry the tank by the handles to a normal toilet or to a legal waste
disposal point. Place the waste tank upright on the ground and
turn the emptying spout upwards.
17. 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 to ensure the tank is
emptied without splashing.
Note! The vent plunger should only be pressed once the emptying
spout is pointing downwards!
In this way the tank can be emptied without splashing. After
emptying, flush the tank and clean the valve blade thoroughly with
water. Also clean the valve blade with water.
18. If required, make the toilet ready for use once again. Slide the
waste tank into the toilet and close the access door.
STORAGE
It is important that you follow the instructions below if you do not
expect to use the Thetford toilet for a long period.
The following text only applies to the Cassette toilet model C3. If you
have a model C2 or C4, then follow the instructions under point 19, 20
and 21.
C3
If you have a Cassette toilet model C3 and your toilet is not used in
the winter, follow the procedure for making your caravan or
motorhome ready for the winter: Before you drain the central water
system, open the Cassette toilet magnetic valve by depressing the
flush button. Keep the button depressed in (or place a weight on the
flush button) during the draining of the water system.

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.
- Squirt Thetford Bathroom Cleaner in the toilet.
- Flush the bowl with water and wipe down the rest of the toilet
with a damp cloth.
Tip! For a really shining toilet, dry it with a soft dry cloth after
cleaning.
- Thoroughly clean the seals and valve blade, rub them in olive oil
and wipe them over with a cloth or a piece of toilet paper. Repeat
the above operation if the seal and blade are dirty or if opening
and closing the blade is getting more difficult.
Note! Never use Vaseline or any vegetable oil except olive oil.
These may cause leakage.
If the toilet will not be used for a long period, it is advisable to clean
the seals and coat them lightly with olive oil. This will ensure that they
remain in good condition (supple).
N.B. The valve blade seal is a part of the toilet that is subject to wear.
Depending on the extent and manner of service, after a certain period
the seal will lose quality and must be replaced.
WINTER USE
You can use your Thetford cassette toilet as usual in cold weather, as
long as the toilet is situated in a heated location. If not, there is a risk
of freezing. In that case we advise that the toilet is drained by
following the instructions under 'Storage'.
ssFor environmental reasons the use of antifreeze, such as that used
in a car radiator, is not advised.
