Not using Thetford products to care for your Thetford toilet could cause damage.
Never add toilet additives directly via the valve blade or via the toilet bowl as this could damage the lip seal of the waste-holding tank Only fill the waste holding tank via the pour out spout.
****Never use force if you cannot get the waste-holding tank back into place easily. If blockage occurs. always check if the blade handle is in the closed position.

Check after storage:

• After filling the system. check if flush is present and make sure there are no leakages.

Use of the toilet

****The toilet can withstand a maximum load of 120kg. Make sure you do not overload the toilet.

See the images in the fold-out cover for a visual reference.

  Opening the blade:

• Open the blade by moving the blade handle from left to right (07).
  
  

• Always close the blade completely after use.

Ordinary toilet paper can cause clogging. Use Thetford Aqua Soft toilet paper for your toilet. This toilet paper is super-soft, dissolves quickly. prevents clogging and makes it easier to empty the waste-holding tank.
For C223-SAC223-CS/C222-SWE: The flush of your toilet will be more effective if you pulsate the flush by pressing the flush button several times in a row.
To prevent water damage to your caravan or motor home. do not travel with water in the toilet bowl.
Do not leave water in the toilet bowl if the toilet is not being used. This does not help to reduce unpleasant smells and only leads to flooding.

Emptying the waste-holding tank

Do not allow the waste-holding tank to become too full.
****Thetford green toilet additives are completely safe to empty into a septic tank or small biological systems on camping sites.

Emptying the flush-water tank (C224-CW/C222-SWE)

Only empty the Rush-water tank completely if you expect not to use your toilet for a long period. Emptying the flush-water tank:

• Place a sufficiently large bowl under the drain tube.

• Open the drain tube and catch the remaining water in the bowl (15).
  
  

• Empty the bowl at an authorised waste disposal point.

Maintenance and cleaning

See the images in the fold-out cover for a visual reference. Also see the inside cover for an overview of the additives which need to be used.

Thetford recommends cleaning your toilet regularly to prevent limescale and ensure optimal hygiene.

• Clean the inside of the bowl with Thetford Toilet Bowl Cleaner and a soft brush.

• Clean the outside of the bowl with Thetford Bathroom Cleaner.

• Remove the seat and cover to clean your toilet thoroughly. To do this, push the seat and cover together to the right, then lift them up.

• Remove the float from the waste-holding tank and rinse it with tap water (04).
  ****Never use household cleaners to clean your toilet. These may cause permanent damage to the seals and other toilet components. For example, the use of liquid bleach could lead to discoloration.
  Thetford recommends maintaining your toilet regularly to prolong the lifespan of your toilet:

• Use Thetford Cassette Tank Cleaner 2 to 3 times a year on the waste-holding tank to remove stubborn limescale on the inside of the tank.

• Use Thetford Seal Lubricant to keep the seals soft and pliable. It has been specially developed for mobile toilets and is absolutely safe to use.
  Never use Vaseline or vegetable oil to lubricate the seals. This may cause leakage to your waste-holding tank.
  The 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.

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 and the water system of the vehicle. Then empty the waste-holding tank and the flush-water tank [if applicable), see Putting in storage.
