Dometic Gravity-Flush Toilet Operation / Cleaning
7 Operation
7.1 Add water to bowl
To add water to the toilet, press the flush pedal
part way down. Water flows into the bowl while
flush ball remains closed. If the flush ball moves,
let up on the pedal slightly. Adding water to an
empty bowl helps prevent holding tank odors from
entering the living space. Adding water is recom-
mended prior to flushing solids and toilet paper.
7.2 Flush toilet
To flush, press pedal down until it contacts the
floor. Release pedal after complete flush.
• When flushing liquids, press the pedal for 1-2 seconds.
• When flushing solids, press pedal until contents are rinsed from bowl. Flushing longer than
necessary will cause holding tank to fill too quickly.
A small amount of water will collect in the bowl after a flush to create an airtight seal.
Note
Residual water trickle in ceramic bowls: Due to integrated rim of models 310, 311, 320
and 321 toilets, water may continue to trickle into toilet bowl for up to 20 minutes after
flushing. If water trickle continues after 30 minutes, replace water valve.
Note
To ensure holding tank odors do not enter the living space, make sure 1 inch (24 mm) of
water remains in the toilet bowl. Depending on variations in plumbing systems and user
operation, the “add water” function may be required to achieve the 1-inch water depth.
8 Cleaning
8.1 Routine toilet cleaning
For routine cleaning, use SeaLand ® Toilet Bowl Cleaner. If this cleaner cannot be found in your area,
contact Dometic for your nearest dealer. If the cleaner is not available, use most any non-abrasive
bathroom and toilet bowl cleaner. Please follow label instructions.
For stubborn stains on model 300 and 301 toilet bowls, carefully use rubbing alcohol to remove them.
8.2 Flush ball/seal cleaning
After a period of time, mineral deposits from hard water may
build up on the flush ball or seal, resulting in a slow water
leak. To prevent this, periodically clean the flush ball and seal.
1. Remove minor debris from the flush ball and seal by
slowly pressing and releasing the flush pedal several
times. This will loosen and rinse debris from the surfaces.
Repeat several times for stubborn buildup.
2. If step 1 does not fully clean the ball and seal, clean with a soft bristle brush and SeaLand toilet
bowl cleaner. Fully clean the top of the flush ball and under the seal where it contacts the flush
ball. After cleaning underside of seal, apply light downward pressure to top of seal while
brushing around full perimeter of seal.
3. If this does not correct a leaking seal, it may require replacement.
Flush directions are located under
toilet seat lid.
