Tip
Special attention required
Caution (possible risk of injury or
product damage)
2 Possible toilet options
Some toilets are fitted with
extra options. To check
which options are available,
press the flush button on
the control panel.
The following symbols can light up:
Waste Pump-Out system; transfers waste
from the waste-holding tank into the
vehicle’s central waste tank
Electric Blade; electrically opens or closes
the blade
Electric Ventilator; draws unpleasant odours
away from the waste tank to the outside of
the vehicle
You will find additional instructions to these
options in the blue text boxes. Thoroughly read the
applicable instructions.
3 Preparing for use
This Cassette Toilet has a waste-holding tank of
17.5L. A C262-model also has its own 8L flush-
water tank . Before using your toilet, it is vital that
you add toilet additives to these tanks. Check the
correct dosage on the additive package. Then add
±3L of water to the waste-holding tank. Fill the
flush-water tank of a C262-model to the top.
Electric Ventilator (if applicable)
Open the service door and remove the
waste-holding tank. Then remove the filter
housing cover and place the new filter into the
filter housing. Replace the cover and return the
waste-holding tank back to original position.
Never add toilet additives directly via the
blade as this could damage the lip seal of the
waste-holding tank. Only fill the waste-holding
tank via the pour out spout.
Never use force if you cannot get the waste-
holding tank back into place easily. If
blockage occurs, always check if the blade handle
is in the closed position.
See ‘Quick Guide’ diagrams 1-20 for visual
reference. To depressurise the waste-holding
tank, press the vent button before placing the
tank back in its position.
Thetford offers a pleasantly scented toilet fluid
for the flush-water tank (Aqua Rinse) and a variety
of waste-holding tank products (Aqua Kem Blue,
Aqua Kem Green, Aqua Kem Natural, Aqua Kem
Sachets).
Aqua Rinse keeps the flush water fresh, ensures
a smooth flush and leaves a protective layer. All
products for the waste-holding tank suppress
unpleasant smells, stimulate the breakdown
of waste, reduce the formation of gas, protect
moving parts and help to keep the waste-holding
tank fresh and clean. For the differences between
the distinguishing qualities of each waste-holding
tank product please visit www.thetford.eu.

4 Use of your toilet
Turning the bowl You can turn this bowl to a
desired position
(max. ±90 º). Close the
cover and use both hands
to rotate the bowl as
illustrated.
Opening the blade
The toilet can be used with
the blade open or closed.
To open the blade, slide the
blade handle sideways as
illustrated. Make sure you
always close the blade
completely after use.
Electric Blade (if applicable)
Press the flush button to activate the
control panel. Then push the Electric Blade
button. The blade will open or close electrically.
Flushing the toilet
Press the flush button once
to activate the control
panel. Then press the flush
button for several seconds
to flush the toilet.
Electric Ventilator (if applicable)
By activating the control panel, the
Electric Ventilator starts automatically. The
button will flash to indicate that this function is
active. To stop the Electric Ventilator, press the
button. Press the button again to re-start the
ventilator. To optimise its function, activate the
Electric Ventilator before use of your toilet.
Even without an own flush-water
tank you can still use Aqua Rinse
for a smooth and fresh lavender
scented flush. Simply spray Aqua
Rinse with a spray can evenly into
the toilet bowl before use.
Ordinary toilet paper can
cause clogging. Use Aqua
Soft toilet paper instead.
This toilet paper is super-soft,
dissolves quickly, prevents
clogging and makes it easier to
empty the waste-holding tank.
Level indication
You can check wether your waste-holding tank has
a 1-level or a 3-level indication. Make sure the tank
is empty and place it back properly. Then activate
the control panel. If no level indication light lights
up, your toilet has a 1-level indication. It will only
indicate a full tank. If a green level indication light
immediately lights up, your toilet has a 3-level
indication. It will indicate empty, half full and full.
5 Emptying the tank
Waste-holding tank
When the red light of the level indicator on the
control panel lights up, you need to empty the
waste-holding tank. Remove the tank via the
service door. Then take it to an authorised waste
disposal point. Empty the waste-holding tank via
the pour out spout.
To empty the tank without splashing, press
and hold the vent button with your thumb
while the pour out spout is pointing downwards.
Waste Pump-Out system (if applicable)
By activating the control panel, this
button automatically lights up. Press the
button to empty the waste-holding tank into the
vehicle’s central waste tank. The button flashes
while the waste is being pumped and stops
flashing when all waste has been transferred.
(±1.5L of waste is left). If the central waste tank
is too full (only measured when this tank has a
level indicator), the button flashes rapidly and
no pump-out is possible until you have emptied
the central waste tank.
See ‘Quick Guide’ diagrams 21-32 for visual
reference. If you want to continue using your
toilet after emptying, prepare the waste-holding
tank again.
Our ‘green’ products Aqua Kem Green, Aqua
Kem Natural and Aqua Rinse (test ISO 11734)
are absolutely safe to empty into a septic tank
or small biological systems on camping sites.
Please avoid to travel with a waste-holding
tank that is more than ¾ full. This may
cause leakage through the venting system.
Flush-water tank (only for C262-models)
The flush-water tank has a capacity of 8L. Only
empty the flush-water tank completely if you don’t
expect to use your toilet for a long (winter) period.
Place a sufficiently large bowl under the drain tube
and catch the remaining water. Empty this bowl at
an authorised waste disposal point.
See ‘Quick Guide’ diagrams 33-38 for visual
reference.
To prevent water damage to your caravan or
motor home, ensure that you don’t travel
with a full flush-water tank or with water in the
bowl.
6 Cleaning
Just like your toilet at home, it is also important
to clean this Cassette Toilet
regularly. You will prevent
limescale and ensure optimal
hygiene. Clean the inside
of the bowl with Toilet Bowl
Cleaner and a soft brush and
use Bathroom Cleaner for the
outside of the toilet.
Never use household cleaners to clean your
toilet. These may cause permanent damage
to the seals and other toilet components.
Waste Pump-Out system (if applicable)
Fill the emptied waste-holding tank with
water and place the tank back. Then activate
the control panel. Press the Waste Pump-Out
system button to pump the water through the
system. Do this once every 3 weeks.
Remove seat & cover
To clean your toilet
thoroughly, remove the
seat and cover. First push
the seat and cover together
to the right, then lift them
up.
7 Winter use
You can use your toilet as normal in cold weather
as long as the toilet is situated in a heated
location. If this is not the case, and there is a risk
of frost, we advise not to use your toilet. Make
sure you completely empty the waste-holding
tank. For a C262-model also empty the flush-
water tank.
Aqua Kem Sachets are particularly
suitable for winter camping as the
sachets are filled with powder.
They completely dissolve in water, are
easy to dose and economical in use.
8 Maintenance
To prolong the life span of your toilet,
maintain your toilet regularly.
Use Cassette Tank Cleaner 2 to 3
times a year on the waste-holding
tank. It safely
removes
stubborn
limescale on
the inside of the tank. When
seals become dry, use Seal
Lubricant to keep the seals
soft and pliable. It has been
specially developed for mobile toilets and is
absolutely safe to use.
Never use Vaseline or vegetable oil to
lubricate the seals as these may cause
leakage to your waste-holding tank.
Waste Pump-Out system (if applicable)
To ensure optimal functionality, maintain
the waste-holding tank regularly. Fill the waste-
holding tank with water and wash it. Then use
Cassette Tank Cleaner. Do this every 6 weeks
when on holiday.
