FAQ
– What to do if the compost becomes too dry?
The forming of hard lumps or that toilet paper remains on top instead of becoming wet and getting mixed in to the
compost indicates that it is too dry. There should be about 1 cm(
1
/3") of liquid in the level tube (22). Use the setting
to reduce the heat to a lower level and spray a couple of litres (quarts) of water on the compost, at the same time
mix the compost through the seat opening using the rake. lf the compost is consistently too dry, despite the setting
being at step
1
, install a timer that turns the power off at night.
– What to do if the compost becomes too wet?
That is, when there is liquid left on top of the compost, while the box is dry or has only a little liquid.
1
. Mix a few litres of Biolet Special Humus into the moist compost until all the liquid has been absorbed.
2. If the volume of the compost has become so high that it reaches the upper rake, empty the tray. (see page 7).
3. If necessary, repeat the emptying after a few weeks to reduce the volume further.
Do not increase the heat if there is no liquid in the tray.
– What do if there is to much liquid in the tube ?
1
. If the liquid has only risen in the right level tube (22), it is usually sufficient to increase the setting while
continuing to use the toilet.
2. Should liquid also be visible in the left hand tube (2
1
), the tray has flooded. Start by increasing the heat and avoid
overloading the toilet with too much liquid. If the entire tube is filled, you first need to drain, this to regain air
circulation in the toilet. Loosen the tube (2
1
) in the upper attachment and tip the tube into a low tray or similar
for draining. With a tube nipple tou can connect the tube to a garden hose. Then increase the heat to the highest
setting for a couple of days. When the liquid has disappeared in both tubes (2
1
and 22), empty the tray.
Do not open the front cover before!
– What to do if there is a bad odor in the toilet room?
A properly installed and maintained Biolet is completely odour-free. lf you do experience a bad odor in the
toilet room. Make sure you have followed the installation and maintenance instructions (using the quickguide
below) and you will probably be able to determine the cause of the problem.
Check:
• That the Biolet is getting enough air through a vent diameter 100mm (4") in the outer wall.
• Make sure the front cover is put on properly.
• Avoid draughts by not having both windows and vents open at the same time, or bathroom fan running.
• Pipes fit the toilet properly and pipe joints are sealed.
• Pipe bends are not more than 45° or more than two bends.
