HOW TO USE YOUR CAMPERVAN’S EQUIPMENT

THETFORD C-260 CASSETTE
TOILET RANGE

Introduction

The Thetford Cassette Toilet is a high quality
product. The toilet forms an integral part of
your campervan bathroom, thanks to its
functional design which combines modern
styling and ease of use. The C-260 Cassette
Toilet is manufactured from high quality
synthetic materials which makes it a durable,
user and maintenance friendly toilet.

The toilet is made up of two parts: a
permanently fixed part and a Waste Holding
Tank that is accessible from the outside. The
removable Waste Holding Tank is located
under the toilet bowl and can be removed via
a door on the outside of the campervan. The
Thetford Cassette Toilet is the solution to the
sanitary problem in your campervan!

The operating instructions cover Thetford
Cassette Toilet models C-260S, C-260CS
(models connected to the vehicle’s central
water tank) and C-260CWE (model with its
own flush-water tank). There are differences
in the use of these models. Please ensure
that you follow the instructions that apply to
your toilet model.

Preparing for use (standard)

1. Open the access door on the outside of

your campervan.

2. Remove the Waste Holding Tank by

pulling the safety catch (which holds the
tank in place) upwards.

3. Pull the Waste Holding Tank outward to

the stop. Tip it slightly and take the tank
fully out.

4. Place the tank upright and turn the

rotating emptying spout upwards. The
emptying spout ensures that the tank can
be easily and hygienically emptied.

5. Remove the cap, with the measuring cup

inside, from the emptying spout and pour
the correct dosage of Thetford toilet fluid
(see product label) into the holding tank.
This avoids unpleasant smells and keeps
the inside of the tank clean. Next add
approximately 2 litres of water - enough
to ensure that the bottom of the Waste
Holding Tank is covered. Far more

information on Thetford toilet fluids, see
last page of this manual. Screw the cap
back onto the emptying spout and turn
back to its original position.

Note:

The Emptying Spout Measuring Cap is

supplied in the same packaging as this
manual.

WARNING: Never add toilet fluid directly
via the blade or the toilet bowl as this
could damage the lip seal of the Waste
Holding Tank. Always pour the fluids via
the emptying spout.

Slide the Waste Holding Tank back into
its original position via the access door.
Make sure that it is secured with the
safety catch. Close the access door and
lock it. Your Thetford toilet is now ready
to use.

WARNING: Never use force if you cannot
get the tank back into place easily. This
may cause serious damage. If blockage
occurs, always check if the blade handle
is in the correct (closed) position.

For toilets with own Flush-Water Tank:
Open the water filling door and fill the
flush-water tank with the correct dosage
of Aqua Rinse. This Thetford toilet fluid
keeps the flush water fresh and improves
the flushing. Next, fill up the flush-water
tank with clean water (approximately 8
litres) using a ferry can or hose. Your
toilet is now ready to use.

Preparing for use with Optional
Features

Automatic Ventilator: Open the access
door on the outside of your campervan
and remove the Waste Holding Tank (as
described above).

Remove the filter housing cover and if no
filter is present, place a new filter into the
filter housing. Peel off the sticker lids on
the filter. Place back the cover of the filter
housing.
