Dometic Corporation
Sanitation Division
Factory-sealed bowl-to-base as­sembly – Unlike other Dometic foot- pedal toilets, the bowl and base of 310 and 320 series toilets should not be separated for any reason.
Each Dometic toilet is 100% factory-tested to assure a watertight seal in the toilet bowl before it is shipped.
After installation at the RV or other vehicle factory, the entire toilet and waste tank system is ood­tested for leaks by lling the system with water to the rim of the toilet bowl. This process requires holding the ush ball open with a device which may temporarily distort the ball seal from its original shape and, as a result, cause the seal to leak water into the waste tank during normal use. The ball seal may need to be reconditioned to its original shape.
IF NEW TOILET DOES NOT HOLD WATER IN BOWL…
Please follow the procedures below before attempting to replace the seal.
1. Hold ush ball in full open position by pressing on pedal.
2. Using nger, apply moderate downward pressure around edge of ball seal.
3. Close ush ball.
4. Keeping ush ball closed, pour one quart of hot tap water into toilet bowl.
5. Let water cool completely.
6. Check for leak.
If leak still persists, ush ball seal should be replaced. Follow instructions provided with replacement seal kit.

2 General safety instructions

The manufacturer will not be held liable for claims for damage resulting from the following:
• Faulty installation or connection
• Damage to the unit from mechanical inuences, misuse or abuse
• Alterations to the unit without express written permission from the manufacturer
• Use for purposes other than those described in this manual
2.1 Warnings
The following statements must be read and understood before installing, servicing and/or operating this product. Modication of this product may result in property damage.
1. Do not use chlorine or caustic chemicals, such as laundry bleach or drain-opening types, in the system. These products damage the seals in toilets and other plumbing valves.
2. Do not permit foreign objects (paper towels, paper cups, diapers, sanitary napkins, etc.) to be ushed through the toilet.

Dometi c Gravity-Flush Toil et Instal lation / Operati on
6.2 Toilet installation
1. To replace an older toilet, turn off water supply to toilet. Remove and drain water supply line. Remove toilet hold-down bolts/screws. Remove toilet from oor. Remove and discard old oor ange seal and hold-down bolts. Verify center of oor ange is at least 10 inches / 254 mm (for model 310) or 11 inches / 279 mm (for model 320) from back wall (g. top surface of oor ange is clean and free of any debris or sealant.
2. If installing a new oor ange, make certain that toilet mounting holes are located at the correct angle (g. (8 is preferred). Insert two supplied T-bolts into slots in oor ange (g. 4 , page 3).
3. Verify that oor ange seal is installed on base of toilet (g. over oor ange. Align holes in toilet base with T-bolts as toilet is lowered onto oor ange. Toilet must be aligned so that outlet of base ts inside of oor ange outlet hole.
4. Install oor mounting nuts and washers onto T-bolts. Carefully torque nuts to 30-40 inch­pounds. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Alternate between sides when tightening to prevent distortion of base. When tight, base should be securely attached and at against oor. Attach bolt covers onto nuts. (Fig.
5. If toilet is being installed in a shower stall, apply a bead of caulk around base of toilet to prevent water seepage under base.
6. Connect water supply line and torque connection to 30-40 inch-pounds. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. (Fig.
7. Turn on water supply line. Flush toilet several times and check for leaks.

7 Operation

7.1 Add water to bowl
To add water to the toilet, press the ush pedal part way down. Water ows into the bowl while ush ball remains closed. If the ush ball moves, let up on the pedal slightly. Adding water to an empty bowl helps prevent holding tank odors from entering the living space. Adding water is recom­mended prior to ushing solids and toilet paper.
7.2 Flush toilet
To ush, press pedal down until it contacts the oor. Release pedal after complete ush.
• When ushing liquids, press the pedal for 1-2 seconds.
• When ushing solids, press pedal until contents are rinsed from bowl. Flushing longer than necessary will cause holding tank to ll too quickly.
A small amount of water will collect in the bowl after a ush to create an airtight seal.
Note
To prevent holding tank odors from entering the living space, make sure a small amount of water remains in the toilet bowl.
Flush directions are located under toilet seat lid.

8 Cleaning

8.1 Routine toilet cleaning
For routine cleaning, use SeaLand® Toilet Bowl Cleaner. If you cannot nd it in your area, contact Dometic for your nearest dealer. If the cleaner is not available, use most any non-abrasive bathroom and toilet bowl cleaner. Please follow label instructions.
8.2 Flush ball/seal cleaning
After a period of time, mineral deposits from hard water may build up on the ush ball or seal, resulting in a slow water leak. To prevent this, periodically clean the ush ball and seal.
1. Remove minor debris from the ush ball and seal by slowly pressing and releasing the ush pedal several times. This will loosen and rinse debris from the surfaces. Repeat several times for stubborn buildup.
2. If step 1 does not fully clean the ball and seal, clean with a soft bristle brush and SeaLand toilet bowl cleaner. Fully clean the top of the ush ball and under the seal where it contacts the ush ball. After cleaning underside of seal, apply light downward pressure to top of seal while brushing around full perimeter of seal.
3. If this does not correct a leaking seal, it may require replacement.

9 Winterization and storage

When a Dometic toilet is stored for long periods of time or may be exposed to temperatures below freezing, the toilet must be winterized or stored according to one of the following procedures.
Caution
This toilet is not intended for use when exposed to temperatures below freezing.
Caution
Never use automotive-type antifreeze (ethylene glycol) in freshwater systems.
Note
Use nontoxic antifreeze (propylene glycol) designated for potable water systems. (See vehicle owner’s manual.)
Storage options
Non-toxic Antifreeze Winterization (recommended method)
1. Pour antifreeze in potable water tank according to instructions from antifreeze manufacturer.
2. Flush toilet several times until antifreeze has owed completely through toilet. For toilets with hand sprayer, the hand sprayer must be turned on to assure antifreeze is cycled through the sprayer.
Drain Water from Toilet
1. Turn off water supply to toilet.
2. Remove water supply line from water valve.
3. Place a small container under water valve inlet to catch draining water.
(continued on next page)

Dometi c Gravity-Flush Toil et Winter ization and stor age
4. Press ush pedal and allow water to completely drain from water valve and vacuum breaker.
5. Leave water line disconnected until threat of freezing temperature is past.
Note
Never leave vehicle or premises unoccupied for extended periods of time with municipal water supply or onboard water pump turned on when there is a possibility of freezing temperature.
IMPORTANT: Toilet warranty does not cover freeze-damaged water valve
The Dometic 310 and 320 series toilet warranty expressly excludes coverage for any damages to the toilet or vehicle that may occur as a result of improper winterization of the toilet. An indicator of
improper winterization is freeze damage to the water valve which results in leaks.
Dometic 310 and 320 series toilet water valves exceed maximum water pressure as dened by North American plumbing code agencies. However, if trapped water freezes in piping that supplies water to the toilet, it expands and creates extremely high pressure that can damage the valve (see photo). To avoid this, winterize the toilet as described in this manual. If freeze-damage occurs as a result of improper winterization, replace the water valve with a 300/310/320 toilet water valve kit, part number
385311641. IF WATER VALVE IS RETURNED FOR
WARRANTY CLAIM, DOMETIC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DENY CLAIM IF PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY FREEZE DAMAGE.
