See the images in the fold-out cover for a visual reference.

Opening the blade: - Open the blade by moving the blade handle from left to right (07).

Ordinary toilet paper can cause clogging. Use Thetford Aqua Soft toilet paper for your toilet. This toilet paper is super-soft, dissolves quickly. prevents clogging and makes it easier to empty the waste-holding tank.
For C223-SAC223-CS/C222-SWE: The flush of your toilet will be more effective if you pulsate the flush by pressing the flush button several times in a row.
To prevent water damage to your caravan or motor home. do not travel with water in the toilet bowl.
Do not leave water in the toilet bowl if the toilet is not being used. This does not help to reduce unpleasant smells and only leads to flooding.

Maintenance and cleaning
See the images in the fold-out cover for a visual reference. Also see the inside cover for an overview of the additives which need to be used.
Thetford recommends cleaning your toilet regularly to prevent limescale and ensure optimal hygiene.
- Clean the inside of the bowl with Thetford Toilet Bowl Cleaner and a soft brush.
- Clean the outside of the bowl with Thetford Bathroom Cleaner.
- Remove the seat and cover to clean your toilet thoroughly. To do this, push the seat and cover together to the right, then lift them up.
- Remove the float from the waste-holding tank and rinse it with tap water (04).
Never use household cleaners to clean your toilet. These may cause permanent damage to the seals and other toilet components. For example, the use of liquid bleach could lead to discoloration.
Thetford recommends maintaining your toilet regularly to prolong the lifespan of your toilet: - Use Thetford Cassette Tank Cleaner 2 to 3 times a year on the waste-holding tank to remove stubborn limescale on the inside of the tank.
- Use Thetford Seal Lubricant to keep the seals soft and pliable. It has been specially developed for mobile toilets and is absolutely safe to use.
Never use Vaseline or vegetable oil to lubricate the seals. This may cause leakage to your waste-holding tank.
The blade seal is a part of the toilet that is subject to wear. Depending on the extent and manner of servicing, after a certain period the seal will lose quality and must be replaced.
Winter use
You can use your toilet as normal in cold weather as long as the toilet is situated in a heated location. If this is not the case, and there is a risk of frost, we advise not to use your toilet. Make sure you completely drain the toilet and the water system of the vehicle. Then empty the waste-holding tank and the flush-water tank [if applicable), see Putting in storage.
