2. SERVICE
a) Check the fan 1) monthly to ensure it is working or 2) if you notice unusual odour.
b) Check the condensate trap every 3 months by unscrewing the cap at the bottom of the Y-junction -
empty & replace. (A small tap may also be inserted into the screw cap instead of this process).
c) Rake the fresh contents from under the pedestal to the front of the unit
a. when the contents reach the top of the unit at chute point, or
b. after 3 months.
d) Repeat as necessary - this ensures that the oldest compost is at the front closest to the hatch.
Remember that the compost continually reduces in volume as it matures.
e) Remove the compost from the front of the unit as per steps 1, 2 & 3 below:
a. When the unit is full,
b. after 6 months or
c. when fully broken down.
f) Every 6 months check the excess liquids outlet via the service pipe. Remove the cap, inspect visually
and if blocked (or uric crystals are forming) insert garden hose right to the bottom and gently flush
out. Replace cap.
To service the CF 4 System, protective clothing, face mask, glasses and gloves must be worn at all times.
