by pressing the flush button several times in a row.
Close the valve blade after use.
Note. To guarantee the best functioning of your Thetford
toilet we recommend to use Thetford additives and
Thetford Aqua Soft toilet paper.
Important Warning Notice! Please do not travel with a
flush-water tank that is too full (we advise empty, but
for sure not filled more than half-full). Do not travel
with water in the toilet bowl. Failure to adhere to this
notice may result in water damage to your caravan or
motor home. Please avoid to travel with a waste-holding
tank that is more than 3/4 full. This may cause leakage
through the venting system.
Using the toilet with Additional Features
13. Electric blade opener: Push the electric blade button on
the control display to electrically open or close the blade.
In the case of failure, you can manually open or close the
blade by sliding the small handle under the toilet bowl
sideways.
Note. To guarantee the best functioning of the Electric
Blade Opener it should be operated without sitting on
the toilet.
14. Electric Ventilator: The ventilator automatically starts
when the control panel is activated (by pressing the
flush button) and will automatically shut off after
approximately 5 minutes. The Electric Ventilator
Indicator will flash until automatic shut-off occurs. If you
want to stop the ventilator, press the Electric Ventilator
button. If you want to re-start the ventilator, press the
GB
button again (the LED will start flashing again).
15. Flush-water tank level indicator (only for toilets with
own flush-water tank): When the flush-water tank level
indicator lights up, refill the flush-water tank, as only
about 1L of water is left in the tank, which is sufficient
for approximately 2 flushes.
EMPTYING
The waste-holding tank requires emptying when the red light
(LED) on the toilet control display lights up. The red light
lights up, when the waste-holding tank only has capacity for
approximately 2 more litres, which is no more than two to
three further uses.
Make sure that the blade is closed. Open the access door
located outside the vehicle, pull the safety catch on the
waste-holding tank upwards and remove the waste-holding
tank by pulling the tank towards you.
16. Place the waste-holding tank in an upright position
(pull-out handle at the top, wheels at the bottom).
17. Release the handle from the snaps, pull the handle up
and wheel the waste-holding tank to an authorized waste
disposal point.
18. Push the handle back into its locked position. Turn the
emptying spout upwards and remove the cap from
the spout. Hold the waste-holding tank in such a way
that during emptying you can operate the vent plunger
with your thumb. To empty the tank without splashing,
depress the vent plunger while emptying the tank. After
emptying, rinse the tank and blade thoroughly with
water.
Warning! Do not seriously shake the tank or use high
pressure water cleaners. This may cause damage to the
tank's interior.
Note. The vent plunger should only be depressed once
the emptying spout is pointing downwards. Prepare the
toilet for re-use if required. Slide the waste-holding tank
into the toilet and close the access door.
Emptying with Additional Features
19. Waste-holding tank multi-level indicator: The lower LED
indicates that the waste-holding tank is almost empty;
the middle LED indicates that it is more than half full;
when the top LED is lit, the tank needs emptying as it
can only take 2 - 3 further uses.
Note. The red LED will flash when the waste-holding
tank is not present or not in the right position.
20. Waste Pump-Out system: When activating the control
panel this feature automatically lights up. When the
waste-holding tank level indicator illuminates, press
the Waste Pump-Out button to pump out the waste
from the holding tank into the vehicle's waste tank. The
button will flash while the waste is being pumped and
will stop automatically (after approximately 2 minutes)
when all waste has been transferred. If the vehicle's
waste tank is full, the Waste Pump-Out light will flash
rapidly and no pump-out will be possible until the central
tank is emptied. (Check the level of the vehicle's waste
tank regularly). After the waste-holding tank has been
emptied, there will be approximately 1.5 litres of waste
left in the tank. This is normal. Add 2 litres of water and
a correct dosage of Thetford toilet fluids to the waste-
holding tank.
Important! Before activating the Waste Pump-Out
system, make sure that the central waste-holding tank
has still enough capacity (approximately 18L)
Important! For a proper breakdown of the waste
and functioning of the Waste Pump-Out system it is
important to use Thetford additives and Aqua Soft
toiletpaper.
Important! It is vital that the correct amount of Thetford
toilet fluid is added to ensure the proper breakdown of
the waste in the waste-holding tank. Only use the system
when the waste-holding tank is filled. Using the system
too often on an empty waste-holding tank can cause
damage to the pump, which could cause the system to
fail.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The toilet should be cleaned and maintained regularly,
depending on the amount of use. To clean Thetford toilets,
we advise using water and Thetford Bathroom Cleaner
& Thetford Toilet Bowl Cleaner.
Note. Never use bleach, vinegar or other powerful household
cleaners that contain these substances. These may cause
permanent damage to the seals and other toilet components.
