TOILET DOES NOT NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM VEHICLE FOR BASIC REPAIRS (if necessary)
Flush ball seal – Dometic’s
revolutionary ball seal allows future
replacement of worn or damaged
ball seals without requiring tools or
toilet disassembly. The ball seal can
be changed in just a few minutes
without removing the toilet from the
oor. Detailed replacement instruc-
tions are included with replacement
ball seal kits.
Snap-in water valve cartridge –
Allows easy replacement of worn
or damaged water valves. In cold
climates, be sure to follow winter-
izing procedure in owner’s manual
to help avoid water valve failure.
Refer to replacement instructions
in new water valve kit prior to
removal or installation of water
valve assembly.
Factory-sealed bowl-to-base as-
sembly – 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 ood-
tested 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.

Dometic Gravity-Flush Toilet Installation / Operation
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. 3 A, page 3). Make sure
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. 3 B, page 3). Floor ange must be secured to oor with a minimum of four screws
(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. 5 A, page 3). Carefully set toilet
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.
Note
Entire toilet base does not rest completely on oor yet. Floor seal must be compressed in
following steps.
4. Install oor mounting nuts and washers onto T-bolts. Carefully torque nuts to 30-40 inch-
pounds. 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 B, page 3)
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. 5 C, page 3)
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 recom-
mended 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.

Dometic Gravity-Flush ToiletCleaning / Winterization and storage
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)
9
Dometic Gravity-Flush Toilet Winterization and storage
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.
