Frequently Asked Questions - MasterFlush MF 8989 DOMETIC

How to properly install the MasterFlush MF 8989 toilet?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician. Use the provided mounting template to position the toilet. Ensure compliance with minimum clearances (11 inches from the wall). Follow instructions for electrical and plumbing connections. Always cut power and close water valves before any work.

What type of water should be used for flushing?

Use only cold water. For a freshwater system, install a shut-off valve. For a raw water system, a separate pump is required and a vented loop with anti-siphon valve must be installed to prevent siphoning.

What to do in case of a water leak?

Check all connections and tighten clamps. If leak persists, shut off water and power. Inspect seals and hoses. For marine installations, use stainless steel clamps. Contact a qualified technician if needed.

How to clean the toilet?

Use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals that could damage seals. Clean the bowl and exterior surfaces regularly. Avoid dropping hard objects into the bowl.

What to do if the pump does not work?

Check the power supply and circuit breaker. Ensure shut-off valve is open. Inspect wiring and connectors. If problem persists, consult a qualified technician. Do not attempt to repair the macerator pump yourself.

How to prevent clogs?

Only flush water, human waste, and quick-dissolving toilet paper. Avoid wipes, sanitary products, and hard objects. Use the grinding function only for organic waste.

Can I use regular toilet paper?

Yes, but only quick-dissolving toilet paper. Thick paper or wipes can clog the system. Use a small amount per flush.

How to drain the holding tank?

WARNING

Failure to obey the following warnings could result in property damage, serious

• This product must be installed and serviced by a qualified service technician.
• Do not modify this product in any way. Modifi cation can be extremely hazardous.

- FLOOD HAZARD:

• Seacocks must be installed in all piping connected to through-the-hull fittings. Seacocks must be easily accessible to all users of the toilet, or secondary valves should be fitted in hose runs where they are easily accessible.
• If the toilet is connected to any through-the-hull fittings: always close seacocks when toilet is not in use (even if the boat is unattended for a brief period).

• Valves must be full-bore valves of marine sanitation quality. Do not use screw-to-close gate valves.

• Flexible hoses must be of marine sanitation quality and must be secured to any fittings with two stainless steel, worm-drive, hose-band clamps at each connection. Check connections frequently for integrity.

• Use properly positioned, ventilated loops when the potential exists for the toilet rim to fall below the waterline during any heel, load, or trim condition, or when the toilet is connected to any through-the hull fittings. The ventilated loops must be installed in the intake (if connected to raw water) and/or the discharge piping.
• Ensure that all electrical power to the toilet is turned off and that seacocks are in the closed or off position before installing the toilet or performing any maintenance.
• If the toilet uses fresh water for flushing 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).
• If the toilet is connected to any through-the-hull fittings: all flexible hoses must be of marine sanitation quality and must be secured to any fittings (such as those at seacock, vented loop or toilet) with two stainless steel, worm-drive hose band clamps at each connection. Connections must be checked frequently for integrity.
• If the toilet uses raw water for flushing at any time, a raw-water pump controlled by an automatically operating demand switch must not be installed. If the onboard water valve or any plumbing connections were to leak, the automatically operated pump would start and could flood the boat.

NOTICE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE. Failure to comply may cause damage to the to or toilet system.

• Only flush water, bodily wastes, and rapid-dissolving toilet tissue.
• Do not overfill the holding tank, or serious damage can occur to the sanitation system. Overfilling the holding tank can rupture the holding tank or release tank contents into the bilge.
