UNDERSTANDING ELECTRICAL OPERATION
1. Pushing the Start Button closes the Start Switch which engages a timer. Timer begins a new cycle each time
start switch is closed. Timer doesn’t accumulate time, merely starts over again.
2. Timer is set to 60 minutes at factory. Timer activates temperature controller. Controller output is connected
to the coil of a Relay, which controls the electric current to the heater.
3. Temperature Controller responds to the output from a Thermocouple, which measures Heater temperature.
When the temperature of the lower coil of the heater reaches approximately 1000+ degrees F., controller shuts
down the relay, which cuts off the heater. When heater temperature falls to about 960 degrees F., controller
again activates relay and heater comes on. Heater is off, then on, about twice a minute.
4. Timer also controls exhaust blower. Blower and heater come on and both stay on for 60 minutes together.
After heater cuts off, blower continues on until incinerator area has cooled to about 130 degrees F.
5. Blower Thermostat (ITS) closes when it senses a temperature of 130 degrees F., and stays closed after the
heating cycle is over, until incinerator temperature falls below 130 degrees F., about 10 to 45 minutes later.
Power Consumption
One complete cycle uses about 1 1/2 to 2 kilowatt hours of electricity. Because you can use INCINOLET any time during
the cycle, your “per use” cost is lower.
During a Power Failure
If waste is burning in the INCINOLET when the electric service is interrupted, you may get smoke and odor in the room.
Open a window to ventilate as best you can. When power comes back on, the fan should start automatically, if needed,
and run until unit is cool enough. Heater does not come on until you push the button. You can push foot pedal to check
contents of ashpan then start a cycle if needed.
To Interrupt an Incineration Cycle
In normal use, it is never necessary to stop a cycle to add waste. (See “How to Use”, page 3.) However, on rare
occasions (doing repairs, etc.), you may want to stop a cycle in progress. Turn the circuit breaker off momentarily (or
unplug INCINOLET) to cancel the cycle. Then turn the circuit breaker back on (or plug in INCINOLET) so that the
toilet is ready for use. If unit is hot enough to need it, the blower should come back on automatically to cool it. NOTE:
If blower does not come on, smoke and odor may come directly into room. In this case, you may want to start the cycle
again for a few minutes to finish burning off the waste remaining in the ashpan.
Thermostats
Your INCINOLET is equipped with three thermostats.
1. SAFETY THERMOSTATS (STS) shuts heater off if air temperature inside toilet reaches about 140°F. It is located on
the front surface of the control box at the upper right rear of the unit. To replace, disconnect voltage, remove top of
unit, disconnect lead wires to old thermostat, and replace. (Fig. 9)
2. BLOWER THERMOSTAT (ITS) turns fan off when outside skin of chamber cools to 130°F and will turn fan on again
if temperature increases. It is accessible through access panel opening, just to the left of the heater terminals. To
replace, follow same procedure as for STS above. (Fig. 12)
3 LIMIT THERMOSTAT (TS) turns heater off if skin of chamber reaches a temperature of 300°F. It is located below
the ITS blower thermostat and heater terminals, outside ashpan compartment. To replace, follow same instructions as
for other thermostats. (Fig. 12)
