General safety instructions Dometic MasterFlush Toilet
Caution!
Overlling the holding tank can create serious damage to the sanitation system, such as
rupturing the holding tank and releasing tank contents into the bilge. To prevent this possibility, Dometic recommends using the “full” tank shut-down relay in the toilet’s electronic
control module. The “full” signal from the holding tank can be generated by an optional
Dometic DTM01C tank monitor or DTM04 four-level tank monitor system.
3 Intended use
The Dometic MasterFlush toilet provides an electric-ush toilet that macerates waste and pumps
it to a holding tank or other efuent storage/disposal system. Operated by a wall-mounted ush
switch, the toilet allows the user to add water to the bowl (before using or ushing) and to ush the
toilet by pushing a button. The Dometic ush switch panel includes lights to indicate when electric
power to the toilet is activated, and when the holding tank (if applicable) is full.
3.1 Benefits
Convenient electronic flush. Add water or ush with the touch of a button.
Choice of two water consumption settings. “Normal” ush uses 0.85 gal. (3.2 liters) per ush and adds
water to bowl after ush; “Dry Bowl” setting uses only 0.45 gal. (1.7 liters) per ush and does not add
water to the bowl.
Versatile installation. Powerful macerator pump allows toilet to be located up to 98 ft. (30 m) away and
9.8 ft. (3 m) below holding tank or other discharge line destination.
“Power on”, “3/4” and “full tank” indicator lights. Dometic ush switch panel indicates when
electrical power to toilet is activated, and when holding tank is 75% and/or 100% full (depending on
holding tank level indication system).
Automatic “full tank” shut-down. When connected to a holding tank level indication system, the
MasterFlush toilet control module will shut off electrical power to the toilet when the holding tank is full.
This safety features prevents overlling the holding tank, which may cause damage to the boat.

6.2 Normal toilet operation
ADDING WATER TO TOILET BOWL
Press “Add Water” switch (g. 3 1) until desired water level
is achieved. (Water ow will shut off automatically if switch
is pressed too long to avoid overow.) More water is usually
added only when ushing solids.
FLUSHING TOILET
Press “Flush” switch (g. 3 2), then release it. This activates a powerful macerator pump that
siphons water and waste from the bowl, macerates, and propels the efuent through the discharge
line to the holding tank.
Note
If toilet system is equipped with Dometic DFS
or DFP ush switch, ush controls and indicator
lights are shown at right.
Caution – Do Not Flush Foreign Objects!
Flush only water, bodily wastes and rapid-dissolving toilet
tissue. Do not ush wet wipes, sanitary napkins, condoms,
diapers, paper cups, cotton swabs, food, hair or liquids
such as oils or solvents as clogging or damage to the toilet
or toilet system may occur.

Dometic MasterFlush Toilet Operation
6.3 Changing flush modes
MasterFlush toilets offer two ush settings to help manage water consumption:
Normal flush – Uses 0.85 gal. (3.2 liters) per ush. Adds water to bowl after every ush.
Dry Bowl flush – Uses 0.45 gal. (1.7 liters) per ush. Does not add water to bowl after ush.
To change from Normal to Dry Bowl ush setting, press “Flush” switch for about ve seconds.
When “Power On” light (g. 3 3, p. 6) begins ashing, release “Flush” switch. Flush mode has
been changed to Dr y Bowl setting. Change mode to Normal ush by following the same
procedure.
6.4 Indicator lights
“POWER ON” INDICATOR
On the Dometic ush switch panel, a steady green “Power On” light (g. 3 3, p. 6) indicates when
electrical power to the toilet is activated. A momentary ashing green light indicates when ush
mode is changing.
TANK LEVEL INDICATOR
Dometic DFT, DFS and DFP ush switch panels include a bi-color “3/4 Full” (amber) and “Full” (red)
Tank Level light (g. 3 4, p. 6) to indicate when the holding tank is 75% or 100% full (if connected
to a two-level tank monitoring system) and should be pumped out. When the red light is illuminated,
electrical power to the toilet automatically shuts off to prevent overll of the holding tank.
6.5 Bidet operation
(toilet models with
integrated bidet only)
1. Turn on bidet faucet by
turning handle away from
toilet (g. 4 ).
2. Adjust water temperature by
turning handle up for warm
water and down for cool
water (g. 5 ).
3. Use electronic “Flush” switch
to clear toilet bowl during
and after bidet use.
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
Be sure to shut bidet faucet off completely after use.
To maintain the toilet’s original, lustrous appearance, use Dometic Toilet Bowl Cleaner or other
non-abrasive bathroom and toilet bowl cleaners. Please follow label directions.
Caution
To avoid damaging internal seals, do not clean toilet with abrasive cleaners, caustic
chemicals, or lubricants and cleaners that contain alcohols or petroleum distillates.
7.2 Routine maintenance
MONTHLY
1. Inspect toilet, plumbing, and plumbing connections, wires, and wire connections.
2. Open and close all plumbing valves, including seacocks (for boat applications).
3. Check in-line water lters and vented loops for blockage.
YEARLY
Check water valve lter. Also check water valve lter if water ow into toilet becomes insufcient.
7.3 During extended periods of non-use
The macerator toilet and sanitation hoses should be protected if toilet will not be needed for an
extended period of time (more than two weeks, especially in hot weather).
1. Flush toilet in “Normal” mode and add 4 oz. (118 ml) of liquid biodegradable laundry detergent
(should NOT contain bleach or environmentally harmful substances). Note: If using sea water for
ushing, shut off power to sea water pump and add fresh water by pouring directly into the bowl
during the ush cycle.
2. Flush toilet with water at least ve times.
3. Turn off water supply to toilet.
4. Flush the toilet without water. Repeat three times. (This procedure will minimize any remaining
water in the macerator pump.)
5. Turn off power to the toilet.
If system will be subjected to freezing temperatures, please follow above procedure, and then
winterize system as described in next section.
At the end of each season, the Dometic MasterFlush macerator toilet should be winterized for
storage by using potable water-safe antifreeze (if boat or vehicle will be exposed to freezing
temperatures).
Note
Use nontoxic antifreeze (propylene glycol) designated for potable water systems. (See boat
or vehicle owner’s manual.)
Caution
Never use automotive-type antifreeze (ethylene glycol) in freshwater systems.
PRESSURIZED FRESH WATER SYSTEM
1. Drain potable water tank and empty holding tank.
2. Add freshwater antifreeze to potable water tank.
3. Flush potable water antifreeze and water mixture through toilet(s) and into entire system,
including the waste holding tank, diverter valve connections, discharge pumps, etc. Turn off
power to toilet.
Each installation is different, so amounts may vary. User discretion is required to assure
adequate protection.
RAW WATER SYSTEM
Parts required: • 1.5 in. (38 mm) ID hose, about 3 ft. (1 m) long
• 0.625 in. (16 mm) ID hose, about 3 ft. (1 m) long
