Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I prepare the toilet cassette for use?ⓘ

Before you can use the toilet, you must first prepare the excrement tank as shown in Figures 1 to 11: open the toilet service door, lift the holding bar and pull the excrement tank out, turn the spout upwards and remove the cap, add 150ml of Thetford Aqua Kem Green and 3L of water, put the cap back on and turn the spout back, press the ventilation button (Fig. 10) and push the tank back into its correct position.

Always add liquids through the emptying support (Fig. 6). Prepare the flushing water tank as shown in Figures 12 to 20: add 110ml of Thetford Aqua Rinse and fill with water up to the max mark.

Q: How do I empty the toilet's waste tank?ⓘ

Make sure the valve's closed, then open the Porta Potti flap. To avoid spraying, keep the ventilation button pressed while the tank empties - but only ever press it while the emptying support is facing downward.
