Winterization and storage
4.  Press flush 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 defined 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.
