6. Maintenance and cleaning
Thetford recommends cleaning your
toilet regularly to prevent limescale and
ensure optimal hygiene.
- Clean the inside of the bowl with a
soft brush and a special cleaning
product.
- Clean the complete toilet with special
cleaning products.
Never use household cleaners to
clean your portable toilet. These
may cause permanent damage to the
seals and other toilet components.
Also maintain your toilet regularly to
prolong the lifespan of your toilet.
- Clean the inside of the waste-holding
tank 2 to 3 times a year to remove
stubborn limescale.
- Treat the seals with special lubricant
to keep the seals soft and pliable.
Never use Vaseline or vegetable oil
to lubricate the seals. This may
cause leakage to your waste-holding
tank.
Thetford offers a wide range of
toilet additives and care products.
Look on the flyer for the variety of all
products.
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.
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 drain the toilet. Then
empty the waste-holding tank and the
flush-water tank, see Putting in storage.
8. Putting in storage
- Empty the flush-water tank.
- Flush the toilet until no more water is
being pumped out.
- Empty the waste-holding tank.
- Thoroughly clean and dry the whole
toilet.
- Open the blade and loosen the cap
of the pour out spout to ventilate the
waste-holding tank.
- Loosen the water fill cap to ventilate
the flush-water tank.
We recommend maintaining your toilet
before putting it into storage. See
Maintenance and cleaning.
9. Disposal
Your product has been designed
and manufactured with high quality
materials and components, which can
be recycled and reused. When your
product has reached its end of life,
dispose of the product according of the
local rules. Do not dispose of the product
with the normal household waste. The
correct disposal of your old product
will help prevent potential negative
consequences to the environment and
human health.
4. Use of the toilet
See the indicated Quick Guide images
for visual reference.
To vent any built-up heat or altitude
pressure and prevent for splashing close

Opening the blade
The toilet can be used with the blade
open or closed. To open the blade, pull
the blade handle ( 17 ).
Make sure you always close the blade
completely after use.
Flushing the toilet
You can achieve the most effective flush
by operating the manual pump with
three or four short flushes
(

.
Do not use ordinary toilet paper,
as this may cause clogging.
To prevent water damage to your
caravan or motor home, do not
travel with a waste-holding tank that is
more than 3/4 full. This may cause
leakage through the venting system.
To prevent water damage to your
caravan or motor home, do not
travel with water in the toilet bowl.
To prevent water damage to your
caravan or motor home, do not
travel with a flush-water tank that is too
full. Thetford advises travelling with an
empty flush-water tank, but at least not
filled more than half-ful.
The toilet can withstand a
maximum load of 120kg (265 lbs).
Make sure you do not overload the toilet.
5. Emptying the tanks
