INTRODUCTION
The Thetford cassette toilet is a high quality product. The functional
design combines modern styling with ease of use forming an
integrated part of your caravan or motorhome bathroom. The Cassette
toilet is manufactured from high quality synthetic material with a high
gloss finish. This makes it a durable and user & maintenance friendly
toilet.
The toilet is made up of two parts: a permanently fixed toilet and a
waste tank that is accessible from the outside. The removable waste
tank is located under the toilet and can be removed via a door on the
outside of the caravan or motorhome.
The Thetford Cassette toilet is the solution to all sanitary problems in
your caravan or motorhome!
PREPARING FOR USE
Points 1 to 3 only apply to models C2 and C4. If you have a C3
cassette toilet (connected to the central water system in your caravan
or camper), start at point 4.
C2 AND C4
1. Open the access door on the outside of your caravan and turn the
water filling funnel outwards. Remove the cap.
2. Add the stated amount of Thetford toilet fluid for the water tank via
the water filling funnel. This ensures a better and cleaner flush and
keeps the water in the flush tank fresh. After this fill the water tank
with clean mains water.
3. Screw the cap back onto the water filling funnel. Turn the water
filling funnel back inside against the side of the flush water tank.
Note: 150 ml water remains in the water filling funnel when the
water tank in empty.
C2 C3 AND C4
4. Remove the waste tank by pulling the safety catch downwards.
5. Pull the waste tank outwards to the stop. Tip it slightly and take
the tank out completely.
6. Place the tank upright and turn the emptying spout upwards.
7. Remove the cap, with the measuring cup inside, from the
emptying spout and pour the stated quantity of Thetford toilet
fluid into the waste tank. This quickly breaks down waste, avoids
unpleasant smells in the waste tank and keeps the inside of the
waste tank clean. Next add approximately 2 litres of water -
enough to ensure that the bottom of the waste tank is covered.
Screw the measuring cap back onto the emptying spout. Turn the
emptying spout back to its original position.
N.B.: The emptying spout cap is supplied in the same packaging
as this manual.
Warning! Never add toilet fluid via the valve blade or via the toilet
bowl. This is immediately with water in the waste tank.
8. Slide the waste tank back into its original position via the access
door.
Note! Never use force if you cannot get the tank back into place
easily. This may cause serious damage.
9. Make sure that the waste tank is secured with the safety catch.
Shut the access door and lock it.
