Table of contents 2 General safety instructions The manufacturer will not be held liable for claims for damage resulting from the following:

• Faulty assembly or connection

• Damage to the unit from mechanical inuences, misuse or abuse

• Alterations to the unit without express written permission from the manufacturer

• Use for purposes other than those described in the operating manual Dometic 8100 Series MasterFlush Toilet Notes on using the manual Caution! Hazard of Flooding If toilet is connected to ANY through-the-hull ttings, ALWAYS close seacocks when toilet is not in use (even if boat is unattended for a brief period). All passengers MUST be instructed on how to close valves when the toilet is not in use. Failure to do so can result in ooding which can cause loss of property and life.4 Caution! Hazard of Flooding If the toilet uses fresh water for ushing and is connected directly or indirectly to a shore- side municipal water system at ANY time, shoreside water connections MUST be discon- nected if the boat is unattended (even if boat is unattended for a brief period). Failure to do so can result in ooding which can cause loss of property and life. Caution! Hazard of Flooding Before beginning any work on this product, be sure that all electrical power to the unit has been turned off and that seacocks are in the CLOSED or OFF position. Failure to do so can result in ooding which can cause loss of property and life. Caution! Overlling the holding tank can create serious damage to the sanitation system, such as rupturing the holding tank and releasing tank contents into the bilge. To prevent this pos- sibility, Dometic recommends using the “full” tank shut-down relay in the toilet’s electronic control module. The “full” signal from the holding tank can be generated by an optional Dometic DTM01C tank monitor or DTM04 four-level tank monitor system. 3 Intended use The Dometic 8100 series MasterFlush toilet provides an electric-ush toilet that macerates waste and pumps it to a holding tank or other efuent storage/disposal system. Operated by a wall- mounted ush switch, the toilet allows the user to add water to the bowl (before or after ushing) and to ush the toilet by pushing a button.

Convenient electronic flush. Add water or ush with the touch of a button. Choice of two water consumption settings. “Normal” ush adds water to bowl while button is pushed; “Dry Bowl” does not use water during a ush – it only operates the macerator pump. Versatile installation. Powerful macerator pump allows toilet to be located up to 98 ft. (30 m) away or

9.8 ft. (3 m) below holding tank or other discharge line destination.

Automatic “full tank” shut-down (Optional installation - tank level monitor and shut-down relay required. Available separately). When connected to a holding tank level indication system, the 8100 series toilet system will shut off electrical power to the toilet when the holding tank is full. This safety feature prevents overlling the holding tank, which may cause damage to the boat.

6.1 Toilet system start-up

1. Turn on water supply to toilet.

2. Press “Flush” switch (2) and hold for at least ve seconds.

3. Toss several sheets of toilet paper into bowl and repeat

cycle. The bowl should completely clear.

Press “Add Water” switch (1) and hold until desired water level is achieved. (Do not press “Add Water” switch too long or overow may occur.) More water is usually added only when ushing solids. FLUSHING TOILET Press “Flush” switch (2) down and hold for a few seconds after waste drains from toilet bowl (about ve seconds). This switch activates a powerful macerator pump that siphons water and waste from the bowl, macerates, and propels the efuent through the discharge line/holding tank. To use less water for liquid-only ushes, press “Flush” switch for shorter period of time.

“DRY BOWL” OPERATION

During periods of rough travel, water in a toilet bowl can splash out and into the bathroom area. To avoid this situation, press “Dry Bowl” switch (3) to drain water completely from toilet bowl. Water is not added to bowl during or after pressing the “Dry Bowl” switch. 6 Operation Caution – Do Not Flush Waste with “Dry Bowl” Switch! To maintain proper cleanliness and operation of the toilet and macerator pump, water should be used with every ush.

Dometic 8100 Series MasterFlush Toilet Operation

6.3 Toilet operation when connected to “full tank” shut-down relay and

tank monitor system When a Dometic 8100 series macerator toilet system uses a “full tank” shut-down relay, electrical power to the toilet is shut off when the holding tank level reaches “full”. To restore electrical power to the toilet for ushing, holding tank contents must be emptied or discharged until the “full” tank indica- tor is not activated. Caution – Do Not Flush Foreign Objects! Flush only water, bodily wastes and rapid-dissolving toilet tissue. Do not ush wet wipes, sanitary napkins, condoms, diapers, paper cups, cotton swabs, food, hair or liquids such as oils or solvents as clogging or damage to the toilet or toilet system may occur. Note Make sure all guests understand toilet operation before use.8

7.1 Cleaning the toilet

To maintain the toilet’s original, lustrous appearance, use Dometic Toilet Bowl Cleaner or other non- abrasive bathroom and toilet bowl cleaners. Please follow label directions.

1. Inspect toilet, plumbing, and plumbing connections, wires, and wire connections.

2. Open and close all plumbing valves, including seacocks.

3. Check in-line water lters and vented loops for blockage.

YEARLY Check water valve lter. Also check water valve lter if water ow into toilet becomes insufcient.

7.3 During extended periods of non-use

The macerator toilet and sanitation hoses should be protected if toilet will not be needed for an extended period of time (more than two weeks, especially in hot weather).

1. Flush toilet in “Normal” mode and add 4 oz. (118 ml) of liquid biodegradable laundry detergent

(should NOT contain bleach or environmentally harmful substances). Note: If using sea water for ushing, shut off power to sea water pump and add fresh water by pouring directly into the bowl during the ush cycle.

2. Flush toilet at least ve times.

3. Turn off water supply to toilet.

4. Flush the toilet without water. Repeat three times. (This procedure will minimize any remaining

water in the macerator pump.)

5. Turn off power to the toilet.

If system will be subjected to freezing temperatures, please follow above procedure, and then winterize system as described below. 7 Maintenance and winterizing Caution To avoid damaging internal seals, do not clean toilet with abrasive cleaners, caustic chemicals, or lubricants and cleaners that contain alcohols or petroleum distillates.

At the end of each season, the Dometic macerator toilet should be winterized for storage by using potable water-safe antifreeze (if boat or vehicle will be exposed to freezing temperatures). Caution Never use automotive-type antifreeze in freshwater systems. Note Use nontoxic antifreeze designated for potable water systems. (See boat or vehicle owner’s manual.)
