2. Use and maintenance of the Biolan
Separating Dry Toilet
Using and maintaining the Separating Dry Toilet in accordance with
these instructions makes for a much more pleasant experience.
Separation of the liquid and the solid waste requires that the Sepa-
rating Dry Toilet always be used in the seated position. When using
he ni o he fi ew i e , ve i y ha yo own ea in i an e
and habits are suitable for it. Also instruct your guests on how the
toilet should be used.
The Separating Dry Toilet is intended for composting toilet waste, in-
cluding toilet paper. But do not put into it anything that could hamper
the treatment of the waste, such as:
• debris, sanitary towels
• chemicals, lime
• detergents, washing water
• matches, ash, cigarette butts
2.1 Before use
Put a layer of Biolan Compost and Toilet Bulking Material a couple
of centimetres thick on the bottom of the foremost inner receptacle
(part 5). Fill the bulking material container (part 3) with bulking ma-
terial.
2.2 Using bulking material
There is a bulking material batcher in the bulking material container
at the rear of the toilet unit. To use the batcher, press the batcher
knob (Fig. 1) briskly. The more briskly you press this knob, the far-
ther the bulking material will be thrown. The bulking material does
not need to be added every time the toilet is used; adding it only
a e e e a ion i fi ien .
Applying suitable bulking material is essential for proper operation
of the toilet. For bedding we recommend Biolan Compost and Toilet
Bulking Material or Biolan Peat (see Accessories on page EN-6).
2.3 Year-round use of the toilet
The toilet may be used all year round, if installed in a warm space.
Thermal insulation of the ventilation and liquid removal systems in
cold areas must then, however, be taken into account. Also provide
a fi ien a ien o even he li i o ee in in he i e.
Installed in a cold space, the toilet can freeze during winter. The
toilet unit is manufactured of frost-proof polyethylene, so freezing
does not damage it. A toilet located in a cold space can be used
occasionally during winter. Empty the liquid tank before the liquid
in it freezes.
If the liquid is collected in a canister, empty the canister in the au-
tumn in order to avoid damage caused by freezing of the liquid. If
the bulking material in the container is moist, it may freeze during
winter. Then the bulking material batcher does not work and you
must apply the bulking material manually.
2.4 Emptying the inner receptacle
There are two separate inner receptacles inside the tank of the Sep-
arating Dry Toilet (Fig. 2). Use only one receptacle at a time. When
a e e a le fill , ove i o he ba k o he ni an he o he
receptacle into use. As required, level the surface of the waste, for
example, with a stick.
The covers for the inner receptacles are intended for use while
transporting the receptacles for emptying. Leave the lid ajar for stor-
in . On e bo h e e a le have fille , e y he one ha fille

Tilt the lid of the toilet unit to the side or lift it off, so that you can lift
the receptacles out of the unit. There is no need to wash the inner
receptacles when emptying them.
When replacing the receptacles, make sure to position the recep-
tacle in use correctly against the separating bowl. Put a layer of
Biolan Compost and Toilet Bulking Material or Biolan Peat a couple
of centimetres thick onto the bottom of the receptacle. Refer to page
EN-5 for instructions for composting the solid waste from the Sepa-
rating Dry Toilet.
