Capacity setting
Adjust capacity by turning the knob.
The recommended start setting for 2 people using the toilet is step 2. After
1
-2 weeks in operation, you might have
to adjust the setting depending on the liquid level in the tube (23).
If the tube is empty, decrease the setting and if the tube is more than half full increase the setting.
TO SET THE HEATER
Set the heat according to usage, check the level tube (16) on the right side (seen from the front).
• Step 1 green light – Fan only
• Step 2 yellow light (one LED) – fan and 30% heat
• Step 3 yellow light (two LEDs) – fan and 60% heat
• Step 4 yellow light (three LEDs) – fan and 100% heat
Operation
LIQUID IN THE LEVEL TUBE
The level tube (on the right hand side, viewed from the front)(23) shows how much
liquid there is in the tray. The tube should never be full; this means
the tray is full of liquid. Half full of liquid in the tube is ideal.
CORRECT SETTING
At the correct setting, the compost has a porous and moderately moist consistency. If liquid stays on top of the compost
and seeps into the tray slowly, then the compost is too wet and can no longer absorb the liquid as intended. Increase
the setting and add a few litres of humus starter. On the other hand, if hard lumps form or toilet paper remains on top,
so that it doesn't get soaked and mixed in properly during mixing, the compost is too dry. If so, turn the setting down
and sprinkle a few litres of water over the compost.
If you have model 15a, make a couple of extra turns with the handle.
EMPTYING FREQUENCY
In a cottage, with four to six weeks use a year, it is usually enough to empty the tray once. More frequent use
and you have to empty the tray more often.The general rule is to empty the tray when the compost level reaches
the upper mixing arm. It will only take a few days after emptying, before the tray is filled and should stay full for
composting until the next emptying of the tray.
