THETFORD CASSETTE
PORTA POTTI
INTRODUCTION
The Cassette Porta Potti is constructed of
high quality plastics for durability and has a
high gloss finish that is easy to clean and
maintain. The unit consists of two sections, a
permanently installed toilet system and a
slide out waste holding tank — CASSETTE.
The toilet section includes a seat and cover,
flush and valve blade opener knob, toilet
tissue compartment and holder, waste level
indicator, built-in toilet fluid storage
compartment, a drip tray — a drain tube
assembly and a fresh water tank.
The unique Cassette section is located
underneath the toilet and is removed for
emptying from outside the caravan through
an access door. A rotating pour-out spout,
automatic holding tank vent, air release
valve, valve blade, carrying handles and
hand grips are incorporated into the
Cassette.
PREPARING FOR USE
1. Open access door on the side of the
caravan and swing out fresh water fill
funnel.
2. Fill fresh water tank using a hose or
jerrycan until water funnel level reaches
neck. Tank capacity is 15 litres. Aqua
Rinse may be added to improve cleaning
of bowl and flushing of unit.
3. Replace cap. Swing water fill funnel
inward until it touches side of water tank.
Note: 150ml of water will remain in fill
bottle when fresh water tank is empty.
4. Next add Aqua Kem to Cassette for
controlling odours. Depress retaining clip.
5. Remove cassette by pulling straight out.
When Cassette hits stop, tilt downward
slightly and remove (stop for safety when
Cassette is full).
6. Position tank vertically and swivel pour
out spout upward.
7. Remove cap. Remove deodourant from
storage compartment. Add 100ml of
Aqua Kem or 120ml of Aqua Kem Bio
through pour out spout. Add small
amount of water through spout to cover
tank bottom. Replace cap and return
pour out spout to its original stored
position.
Note: As an alternative deodorant can be
added to Cassette through the valve blade
opening. Hotter weather or longer retention
time may require addition of more Aqua Kem.
CAUTION: Do not add Aqua Kem
Concentrate or Aqua Kem Bio directly into
toilet bowl while Cassette tank valve blade is
closed. Pressure due to heat and altitude
change can build up in the Cassette tank
causing bowl contents to splash upward
upon opening the valve blade, if opened too
fast. Before each use, open and shut the
Cassette valve blade to vent the tank
