Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If the toilet is connected to ANY through-the-hull ttings, properly installed seacocks MUST
be installed in all piping connected to through-the-hull ttings. Seacocks MUST be easily
accessible to all users of the toilet or secondary valves tted in hoses where they are easily
accessible. All valves MUST be full bore valves and of marine quality. Screw-to-close gate
valves are not recommended. Failure to do so can result in ooding which can cause loss
of property and life.

Dometic 4700 Series VacuFlush ToiletGeneral safety instructions
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If toilet is connected to ANY through-the-hull ttings, ALWAYS close seacocks when
toilet is not in use (even if boat is unattended for a brief period). All passengers MUST be
instructed on how to close valves when the toilet is not in use. Failure to do so can result in
ooding which can cause loss of property and life.
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If toilet is connected to ANY through-the-hull ttings, ALL exible hoses must be of marine
sanitation quality and must be secured to ANY ttings (such as those at seacock, vented
loop or toilet) with two stainless steel, worm-drive hose band clamps at each connection.
Connections MUST be checked frequently for integrity. Failure to comply can result in
ooding which can cause loss of property and life.
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If toilet rim is below the waterline at ANY time (during any conditions of heel, load or trim)
and is connected to ANY through-the-hull ttings, properly positioned ventilated (vented)
loops MUST be installed in intake* or discharge piping to prevent potential back siphonage
of seawater into the boat. Failure to do so can result in ooding which can cause loss of
property and life.
* if connected to raw water
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If the toilet uses fresh water for ushing and is connected directly or indirectly to a shore-
side municipal water system at ANY time, shoreside water connections MUST be discon-
nected if the boat is unattended (even if boat is unattended for a brief period). Failure to do
so can result in ooding which can cause loss of property and life.
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If toilet uses raw water for ushing at ANY time, a raw water pump controlled by an auto-
matically operating demand switch MUST NOT be installed. If the onboard water valve or
any plumbing connections were to leak, the automatically operated pump would start and
could ood the boat. Failure to comply can cause loss of property and life.
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
Before beginning any work on this product, be sure that all electrical power to the unit has
been turned off and that seacocks are in the CLOSED or OFF position. Failure to do so can
result in ooding which can cause loss of property and life.
Caution!
Overlling the holding tank can create serious damage to the sanitation system, such as
rupturing the holding tank and releasing tank contents into the bilge. To prevent this pos-
sibility, Dometic recommends using the “full” tank shut-down relay in the toilet’s electronic
control module. The “full” signal from the holding tank can be generated by an optional
Dometic DTM01C tank monitor or DTM04 four-level tank monitor system.
3 Intended use
The Dometic 4700 series VacuFlush toilet provides an electric-ush toilet that vacuums waste from
the bowl and pumps it to a holding tank or other efuent storage/disposal system. Operated by a
wall-mounted ush switch or electronic ush handle, the toilet allows the user to add water to the
bowl (before using or ushing) and to ush the toilet. A status panel activates lights to indicate when
the toilet is ready to ush, when the toilet is operating, and when the toilet is not ready to ush due
to recharging vacuum or a full holding tank.

5
Dometic 4700 Series VacuFlush Toilet Intended use
3.1 Benefits
Convenient electronic flush. Add water or ush with the touch of a button or by operating the
ush handle. No need to continue pressing button or handle for full ush to occur.
Choice of two water consumption settings. “Normal” ush uses 2 quarts (1.9 liters) per ush and
adds water to bowl after ush; “Dry Bowl” setting uses only 1 pint (0.5 liter) per ush and does not
add water to the bowl – ideal for marine applications when boat is underway.
“OK to Flush” and “Do Not Flush” indicator lights. Green light indicates “OK to Flush” when
proper vacuum is achieved and toilet is ready to ush. Red light indicates “Do Not Flush” when
vacuum level is too low for a ush to occur. Vacuum recharges in about one minute after ushing.
Integrated fuse. Toilet circuitry includes built-in resettable fuse. If toilet fuse ever trips, just turn
off electrical power to toilet for about 60 seconds, then turn electrical power on.
Automatic “full tank” shut-down. When connected to a holding tank level indication system and
the tank reaches full level, electrical power to the toilet will become interrupted. This safety feature
prevents overlling the holding tank, which may cause damage to the boat or vehicle.
Three-second “rough seas” shut-down delay. If motion of rough sea causes “full tank” indica-
tor to activate toilet shut-down, a three-second signal delay allows tank contents to settle before
completing shut-down process.
Service mode. Service mode keeps ush ball open for easier toilet cleaning or other service
function.

6 Operation
6.1 Toilet system start-up
1. Fill freshwater tank.
2. Turn on electrical power and water supply to toilet.
3. Flush water through toilet system by ushing toilet ve times (allow each ush cycle to complete
until green light indicates system is ready for next ush). Each cycle takes about one minute.
6.2 Normal toilet operation
ADD WATER TO TOILET BOWL
Press “Add Water” switch or raise ush handle until desired
water level is achieved. More water is usually added only when
ushing solids. (If switch is pressed too long, water ow will
shut off automatically to avoid overow.)
FLUSH TOILET
Press “Flush” switch or press ush handle down for a moment,
then release it. Flush only when the green “OK to Flush” light is
on. Toilet will not ush until the green light is on. It takes about
one minute for vacuum to recharge for the next ush.
If the red “Do Not Flush” light is on, the system is either
recharging the vacuum, or the holding tank is full. The toilet
will not ush while the red light is on.
DO NOT FLUSH FOREIGN OBJECTS
CAUTION! Flush only water, bodily wastes and rapid-dissolving tissue paper. Do not
ush wet wipes, sanitary napkins, condoms, diapers, razor blades paper cups, cotton
swabs food, hair or liquids such as oils or solvents. Clogging or damage to the toilet
system may occur.

Note
Make sure all guests understand toilet operation before use.
6.3 Changing flush modes
Dometic 4700 series VacuFlush toilets offer two ush settings to help manage water consumption:
Normal flush – Uses 2 quarts (1.9 liters) per ush. Adds water to bowl after every ush.
Dry Bowl flush – Uses 1 pint (0.5 liter) per ush. Does not add water to bowl after ush.
To change from Normal to Dry Bowl ush setting, press “Flush” switch or ush handle for about ve
seconds. When green light on status panel begins ashing, release “Flush” switch. Flush mode has
been changed to Dry Bowl setting. Change mode to Normal ush by following the same procedure.
6.4 Indicator lights
“OK TO FLUSH” GREEN INDICATOR
On the Dometic, Vimar and Gewiss status panels, a steady green “OK to Flush” light
indicates when the toilet is ready to ush. A momentary ashing green light indicates
when ush mode is changing.
“DO NOT FLUSH” RED INDICATOR
The Dometic, Vimar and Gewiss status panels include a red “Do Not Flush” red light to
indicate two toilet system conditions:
1. Vacuum level in toilet system is not sufcient for complete ush.
2. Holding tank is full and should be pumped out (tank must be equipped with “full tank” sensor).
When the red light is on, electrical power to the toilet is interrupted to prevent possible overlling of
the holding tank. Flush ball will open only in “Service” mode.
6.5 Service mode
To clean the toilet bowl or perform other service that requires
keeping the ush ball open without running water, use the
Service Mode switch (g. 1 11, p. 2) on top of the toilet.
1. Open cap, then insert pencil or screwdriver to push button.
This opens ush ball.
2. Perform the service operation. To close the ush ball and
return to Normal operation, push the button again.
7 Maintenance / winterizing / service
7.1 Cleaning the toilet

Dometic 4700 Series VacuFlush ToiletMaintenance/winterizing/service
6. Completely pump out holding tank.
If system will be subjected to freezing temperatures, please follow above procedure, then winterize
system as described in Section 7.7.
TURN OFF ELECTRICITY AND WATER TO TOILET IF IDLE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME
If people will not be using the boat for a long time (vacation, maintenance, off-season, etc.), or in
the event of a long electrical power interruption, electrical power and water supply to the toilet and
vacuum generator should be shut off.
7.5 Clearing blockage in toilet base
1. Open the ush ball in Service Mode.
2. Pull the foreign material from the 1-inch diameter orice at the bottom of the base or, using a
small diameter blunt rod, attempt to push the blockage through the orice.
7.6 Locating potential vacuum leaks in base assembly
The VacuFlush toilet is part of a vacuum system that includes a vacuum pump and vacuum tank (or
a vacuum generator) and discharge plumbing lines. If a vacuum leak is suspected, special equip-
ment will isolate the source of the leak. If the toilet is determined to be the source of the leak, there
are three possible areas to investigate:
1. Flush ball and ush ball seal. See Problem 11 in Troubleshooting Guide.
2. O-rings on the rotor shaft.
3. O-rings around bottom of toilet base assembly.
Sources 1 and 2 will require the base assembly to be removed from the toilet and partially
disassembled.
7.7 Winterizing
At the end of each season, the VacuFlush toilet system should be winterized for storage. Follow this
procedure:
1. Pump out holding tank.
2. Thoroughly ush system with fresh water.
3. Drain freshwater tank.
4. Add freshwater antifreeze to freshwater tank.
5. Flush freshwater water antifreeze and water mixture through toilet and into the waste holding
tank. Each installation is different, so amounts may vary. User discretion is required to assure
adequate protection.
6. Empty holding tank.
Note
Use nontoxic antifreeze designated for potable water systems. (See boat or vehicle
owner’s manual.)
Caution
Never use automotive-type antifreeze in freshwater systems.

7.9 Servicing toilet base components
ALIGNING CAM SWITCH/FLUSH BALL
The ush ball should be properly positioned so that
the “A” and “B” distances are equal (see illustration at
right). If the ush ball becomes misaligned (resulting in
water leaking from bowl or other ushing problems),
follow instructions below to resolve problem.
REMOVING TOILET FROM FLOOR
