OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Adding More Water To Toilet Bowl
Press the “Add Water” switch until the desired water level is attained. To prevent overowing the toilet, a timer
limits the amount of water that can be added.
2. Flushing The Toilet
When the ush panel’s green “OK to Flush” light is on, and the red “Do Not Flush” light is off, press the “Flush”
switch down for a moment then release it. Holding the switch down will not prolong the ush cycle nor start a new
ush cycle. The switch must be allowed to return to the “off” position and the vacuum must be allowed to recharge
before another ush cycle can be initiated. A full holding tank will also prevent the toilet from ushing.
3. Selecting Automatic Water Rell Levels:
The Water Level switch is located under the control module access cover on the left side of the board. There are
three water rell levels available. The microprocessor-controlled water valve will rell the toilet bowl according
to your water level selection. To reinstall the access cover. set the cover over the control module and press the
push-pins into the grommets located in the toilet seat mounting bracket.
LOW Level
Use this setting to conserve water. This position may be desirable to reduce the chance of water splashing out
of the bowl during rough travel conditions. If more water is needed for ushing, press the “Add Water” ush
switch. Water ow will stop after nine seconds to prevent overow.
MID Level
Use this position to keep the toilet bowl clean, especially when family and friends may be using the toilet. If
more water is still needed for ushing, pressing the “Add Water” ush switch will provide up to six seconds of
additional water rell time.
HIGH Level
Use this position if the MID level does not provide a clean toilet bowl. This position is not recommended while
underway. If more water is still desirable for ushing, pressing the “Add Water” ush switch will provide up to
three seconds of additional water rell time.
4. Mode Switch
The Mode switch is located on the right side of the control module. It lets you switch between three function
settings:
NORMAL
Use this setting for ushing the toilet.
SERVICE
Use this position for cleaning the toilet bowl and ush ball seal. The ush ball will open automatically and remain
open in this position. Pressing the “Add Water” ush switch provides water. You may want to turn off power
to the vacuum generator or vacuum pump when in the SERVICE position for long periods of time to prevent
unnecessary vacuum pump operation.
Note: The control module allows 15 seconds of water ow for cleaning. If more water is required, return
the switch to the NORMAL position then back to the SERVICE position.
MANUAL OVERRIDE
Use this position to ush the toilet in the event of power or battery failure. The OVERRIDE position releases the
ush valve motor brake, and allows manual opening of the ush ball via the access hole in the left side of the
vitreous china base. Remove the large plug in the left side of the toilet, insert a large, at-bladed screwdriver
into the slot of the motor shaft, and turn counterclockwise to open the ush ball.
Return the switch to the SERVICE position, then to the NORMAL position to reset the control circuit in the
toilet.

PROPER TOILET BOWL CLEANING
For stubborn stains, use SeaLand® Toilet Bowl Cleaner (Fig. C). It’s manufactured especially for use with SeaLand toilets. In certain locations where water
is hard, a build-up of lime may dull the toilet bowl nish. Restore the shine
with this SeaLand cleaner. If you cannot nd it in your area, contact Dometic
for your nearest dealer. If the cleaner is not available, you can also use most
non-abrasive bathroom and toilet bowl cleaners (Bar Keeper's Friend® spray
cleaner, Clorox® toilet bowl cleaner, SaniFlush® toilet bowl cleaner, etc.).
Please follow label instructions.
