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.
Toilet Bowl
- Squirt Thetford Toilet Bowl Cleaner into the toilet bowl and use
Thetford Bathroom Cleaner for the outside of the toilet. Read the
product instructions before use.
- Flush the toilet bowl with water and wipe down the rest of the toi-
let with a damp cloth.
- Clean seat and cover. The seat and cover can easily be removed:
Lift the seat and cover assembly and pull the round pins (inside
the assembly) outwards from the pin holes. After cleaning, replace
the seat and cover by positioning the round pins in front of the pin
holes and push the lid and seat downwards.
- To keep your flush water fresh and to prevent deposits from for-
ming in your toilet bowl, add a correct dosage of Aqua Rinse in
your flush-water tank, if present, on your toilet.
Tip! For a really shining toilet, dry with a soft dry cloth after cleaning.
Waste tank
Next to using Thetford's Cassette Tank Cleaner, the powerful cleaning
agent for the periodical cleaning of the waste-holding tank of your toi-
let, we suggest the following:
- Remove the mechanism from the waste tank by turning it anti-
clockwise, as shown on the waste tank. Rinse the complete
mechanism under a tap.
- Remove the cover plate from the automatic pressure release
vent by prising it up using a screwdriver. Use one hand to
push the automatic pressure release vent open, while holding
the float of the automatic pressure release vent on the inside
of the tank with the other hand. Push the float upwards,
turn the float a half turn and remove it from below. Remove
the rubber seal that is under the float. Rinse the float and
rubber seal under a tap. Replace the rubber seal and the float for
the automatic pressure release vent in the same way.
The rubber seals in the toilet (the valve blade seal, the mechanism seal,
the automatic pressure release vent seal and the cap seal) should be
regularly treated with Thetford High Grade Seal Lubricant. This will
ensure that the seals remain supple and in good condition. If the toilet
is not to be used for any length of time, it is important to treat the
seals with Thetford High Grade Seal Lubricant after cleaning.
Note ! Never use Vaseline or any vegetable oil except olive oil. These
may cause leakage.
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 become less effective and must be replaced.
WINTER OPERATION
You can use your Thetford cassette toilet as usual in cold weather, as
long as the toilet is situated in a heated location. If this is not the case
there is a risk of freezing. In that case we advise that the toilet is
drained by following the instructions under 'Storage'.

For environmental reasons the use of antifreeze, such as that used in a
car radiator, is not advised.
