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 inuences, 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 – marine applications
The following statements must be read and understood before installing, servicing and/or
operating this product on a boat. Modication of this product may result in property damage.
Dometic recommends that a qualied marine technician or electrician install or service this product.
Equipment damage, injury to personnel or death could result from improper installation. DOMETIC
ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT, OR INJURY OR
DEATH TO PERSONNEL THAT MAY RESULT FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION, SERVICE OR
OPERATION OF THIS PRODUCT.
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If the toilet is connected to ANY through-the-hull ttings, properly installed seacocks MUST
be installed in all piping connected to through-the-hull ttings. Seacocks MUST be easily
accessible to all users of the toilet or secondary valves tted in hoses where they are easily
accessible. All valves MUST be full bore valves and of marine quality. Screw-to-close gate
valves are not recommended. Failure to do so can result in ooding which can cause loss
of property and life.

Dometic 4700 Series VacuFlush ToiletGeneral safety instructions
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If toilet is connected to ANY through-the-hull ttings, ALWAYS close seacocks when
toilet is not in use (even if boat is unattended for a brief period). All passengers MUST be
instructed on how to close valves when the toilet is not in use. Failure to do so can result in
ooding which can cause loss of property and life.
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If toilet is connected to ANY through-the-hull ttings, ALL exible hoses must be of marine
sanitation quality and must be secured to ANY ttings (such as those at seacock, vented
loop or toilet) with two stainless steel, worm-drive hose band clamps at each connection.
Connections MUST be checked frequently for integrity. Failure to comply can result in
ooding which can cause loss of property and life
.
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If toilet rim is below the waterline at ANY time (during any conditions of heel, load or trim)
and is connected to ANY through-the-hull ttings, properly positioned ventilated (vented)
loops MUST be installed in intake* or discharge piping to prevent potential back siphonage
of seawater into the boat. Failure to do so can result in ooding which can cause loss of
property and life.
* if connected to raw water
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If the toilet uses fresh water for ushing and is connected directly or indirectly to a shoreside municipal water system at ANY time, shoreside water connections MUST be disconnected if the boat is unattended (even if boat is unattended for a brief period). Failure to do
so can result in ooding which can cause loss of property and life.
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
If toilet uses raw water for ushing at ANY time, a raw water pump controlled by an automatically operating demand switch MUST NOT be installed. If the onboard water valve or
any plumbing connections were to leak, the automatically operated pump would start and
could ood the boat. Failure to comply can cause loss of property and life.
Caution! Hazard of Flooding
Before beginning any work on this product, be sure that all electrical power to the unit has
been turned off and that seacocks are in the CLOSED or OFF position. Failure to do so can
result in ooding which can cause loss of property and life.
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 4700 series VacuFlush toilet provides an electric-ush toilet that vacuums waste from
the bowl and pumps it to a holding tank or other efuent storage/disposal system. Operated by a
wall-mounted ush switch or electronic ush handle, the toilet allows the user to add water to the
bowl (before using or ushing) and to ush the toilet. A status panel activates lights to indicate when
the toilet is ready to ush, when the toilet is operating, and when the toilet is not ready to ush due
to recharging vacuum or a full holding tank.

Dometic 4700 Series VacuFlush Toilet Intended use
3.1 Benefits
Convenient electronic flush. Add water or ush with the touch of a button or by operating the
ush handle. No need to continue pressing button or handle for full ush to occur.
Choice of two water consumption settings. “Normal” ush uses 2 quarts (1.9 liters) per ush and
adds water to bowl after ush; “Dry Bowl” setting uses only 1 pint (0.5 liter) per ush and does not
add water to the bowl – ideal for marine applications when boat is underway.
“OK to Flush” and “Do Not Flush” indicator lights. Green light indicates “OK to Flush” when
proper vacuum is achieved and toilet is ready to ush. Red light indicates “Do Not Flush” when
vacuum level is too low for a ush to occur. Vacuum recharges in about one minute after ushing.
Integrated fuse. Toilet circuitry includes built-in resettable fuse. If toilet fuse ever trips, just turn
off electrical power to toilet for about 60 seconds, then turn electrical power on.
Automatic “full tank” shut-down. When connected to a holding tank level indication system and
the tank reaches full level, electrical power to the toilet will become interrupted. This safety feature
prevents overlling the holding tank, which may cause damage to the boat or vehicle.
Three-second “rough seas” shut-down delay. If motion of rough sea causes “full tank” indicator to activate toilet shut-down, a three-second signal delay allows tank contents to settle before
completing shut-down process.
Service mode. Service mode keeps ush ball open for easier toilet cleaning or other service
function.
