The Thetford Cassette toilet is easily winterised
for storage.
Empty remaining fresh water into the bowl by
activating the flush handle up and down or by
pressing the flush button (model dependant).
Once pump has been cleared and water flow
has stopped completely, release into waste
tank. Remove waste tank and empty contents
in normal way.
To evacuate any remaining water from the
fresh water tank, place a container underneath
the drainplug and remove drainplug.
When the procedure has been completed
replace drainplug and waste holding tank.
Clean the seals and grease them if necessary
after drying, with acid free vaseline.
Leave the blade of the holding tank open.
Do not replace cap on the pour out spout, to
ventilate the holding tank.

pump as published by the pump manufacturer
Recomissioning the Water System
Fill the fresh water tank on the Thetford
Cassette porta potti (model specific) using a
hose or jerrycan until the water in the funnel
reaches the neck. Tank capacity is 15 litres.
Aqua Rinse may be added to improve cleaning
of bowl and flushing of unit.
Replace cap. Swing back the water fill funnel
until it touches the water tank.
Add Aqua Kem (100 ml) into the Cassette (or
120 ml if using Aqua Kem Bio) through the
pour out spout. Add small amount of water
through the pour out spout and replace the
cap. Close the cold taps and ensure all the
drain taps are closed.
It is advisable after storage to flush the water
system initially with a sterilising agent (such as
Milton), and then with water repeating until
the system is well flushed through.
Connect the pump.
Fill the system with water until water flows
freely from the hot taps. About 2 gallons of
water will be required. Close the hot taps.
Appliances
Before starting motor caravanning after storage,
check all gas appliances and electrical points.
Note: Preferably not less than once a year, the
electrical installation should be inspected and
tested by a qualified electrician.
After storage it is advisable to air the
Motorhome and clean throughout, especially
cooking appliances and the refrigerator.
Replace the bedding if they were removed
for storage.
Important: Always follow the
manufacturers recommended procedures
after use of fitted equipment in the
Motorhome, before storing for any length
of time.
