Tip Special attention required Caution (possible risk of injury or product damage) 2 Preparing for use Your portable toilet is made up of two detachable sections: the waste-holding tank of 21L and the flush-water tank of 15L. Before using the toilet, it is vital that you add toilet additives to both tanks. Check the correct dosage on the additive package. Then add 3L of water to the waste-holding tank and fill the flush-water tank to the top.If you have a toilet with an electric pump, insert six batteries before use.Never add toilet additives directly via the blade as this could damage the lip seal of the waste-holding tank. Only fill the waste-holding tank via the pour out spout.See ‘Quick Guide’ pictures 1-12 for visual reference.Thetford offers a pleasantly-scented toilet fluid for the flush-water tank (Aqua Rinse) and a variety of waste-holding tank products (Aqua Kem Blue, Aqua Kem Green, Aqua Kem Natural, Aqua Kem Sachets). Aqua Rinse keeps the flush water fresh, ensures a smooth flush and leaves a protective layer. All products for the waste-holding tank suppress unpleasant smells, stimulate the breakdown of waste, reduce the formation of gas, protect moving parts and help to keep your waste-holding tank fresh and clean. For the differences between the distinguishing qualities of each waste-holding tank product please visit www.thetford.eu.The range of available Toilet Care products may vary for each country.

You will prevent calcium deposits and ensure optimal hygiene. Clean the inside of the bowl with Toilet Bowl Cleaner and a soft brush and use Bathroom Cleaner for the outside of the toilet. Never use household cleaners to clean your portable toilet. These may cause permanent damage to the seals and other toilet components. 6 Winter use You can use your toilet as normal in cold weather as long as the toilet is situated in a heated location. If not, and there may be a risk of frost, we advise you to completely empty the waste-holding tank as well as the flush-water tank. Aqua Kem Sachets are particularly suitable for winter camping as the sachets are filled with powder. They completely dissolve in water, are easy to dose and economical to use. 7 Maintenance To prolong the life span of your toilet, we advise you to maintain your toilet regularly. Use Cassette Tank Cleaner for the waste-holding tank 2 to 3 times a year and treat the seals with Seal Lubricant when they become dry. Cassette Tank Cleaner safely removes stubborn calcium deposits on the inside of your waste- holding tank and Seal Lubricant keeps the seals soft and pliable. Never use Vaseline or vegetable oil to lubricate the seals as these may cause leakage to your waste-holding tank. 8 Storage If you don’t expect to use your toilet for a long period, you have to thoroughly empty, clean and dry the whole toilet. This is also a good time to maintain your toilet. During storage we advise leaving the blade open to prevent damage to the blade and to losen the water filler cap to ventilate the flush-water tank. If you have an electric pump, also take the batteries out. 9 Disposal Your product has been designed and manufactured with high quality materials and components, which can be recycled and reused. When your toilet has reached its end of life, dispose the product according the local rules. Do not dispose the toilet with the normal household waste. The correct disposal of your old product will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. 3 Use of your toilet Opening the blade The toilet can be used with the blade open or closed. To open the blade, pull the blade handle as described below. Make sure you always close the blade completely after use. Flushing the toilet You can achieve the most effective flush by operating the manual pump with three or four short flushes. A toilet with an electric pump will automatically flush with short interruptions. Ordinary toilet paper can cause clogging. Use Aqua Soft toilet paper instead. This toilet paper is supersoft, dissolves quickly, prevents clogging and makes it easier to empty the waste- holding tank. To ensure toilet paper is always on hand, your toilet includes space for one toilet roll. 4 Emptying the tank Waste-holding tank You need to empty the waste-holding tank when the level indicator turns red. Disconnect the flush-water tank from the waste-holding tank. Take your waste- holding tank to an authorised waste disposal point and empty it via the pour out spout. To empty the tank without splashing, press and hold the vent button with your thumb while the pour out spout is pointing downwards. See ‘Quick Guide’ pictures 13-16 for visual reference. If you want to continue using your toilet after emptying, prepare the waste- holding tank again. Our green products Aqua Kem Green, Aqua Kem Natural and Aqua Rinse (test ISO 11734) are absolutely safe to empty into a septic tank or small biological systems on camp sites. Flush-water tank Only empty the flush-water tank if you don’t expect to use your toilet for a long (winter) period. First empty the tank through the water fill opening, then, to empty the tank completely, pump the last drops of water out of the pump. Emptying is only allowed at an authorised waste dump. See ‘Quick Guide’ pictures 17-18 for visual reference. GBGB1110 10 Questions? If you require further information about your toilet, please visit our website: www.thetford.eu.
