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 (2
1
).
lf 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 load, read the level tube (22) on the right hand (seen from the front).
• Step 1 green light - Only fan
• Step 2 Yellow lamp
1
- fan and 30% of heating capacity
• Step 3 Yellow led 2 - fan and 60% of heating capacity
• Step 4 Yellow led 3 - fan and I 00% of heating capacity
Function
LIQUID IN THE LEVEL TUBE
The level tube (on the right hand side, viewed from the front) (22) shows how much
liquid there is in the tray. The tube should definitely not be full; this means
the tray is full of liquid.
1
to 2cm (
1
/2 -
1
") of liquid in the tube is normal.
CAPACITY SETTING
At the correct setting, the compost has a porous and moderately moist consistency. lf 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.
lncrease the setting and add a few litres (quarts) of humus starter.
On the other hand, if hard lumps form or toilet paper remains on top and does not get soaked and mixed in
properly during mixing, the compost is too dry. Turn the setting down and sprinkle a few litres (quarts) of water
over the compost.
EMPTYING FREQUENCY
In a cottage, with four to six weeks of use per year, it is normally 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(
1
7a). 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.
ADD EXTRA HUMUS STARTER
The compost should be porous and of moderately moist texture. Add humus regularly, approx. I litre (quart) / week.
If the compost get wet and compact is it often more important to add humus starter then increase the heat, as
long as the liquid in the tube does not increase.
