Combustion Chamber; Heating Element - SUNWIND El-dorado Plus Manual

English

Combustion chamber

The chamber must be emptied at least once a week, even if it is not full, because the ashes
will petrify over time after repeated combustions, making it difficult to empty the ashes.
Should the bottom of the pot become filled with petrified ashes, the easiest solution would be
to soak this part of the pot in approximately 10 mm boiling water and subsequently initiate a
combustion. The boiling water will loosen up the remaining ashes so that the pot can be com-
pletely emptied again.

Heating element

The heating element has a durability of 2-5 years, depending on the frequency of which it is
used. The element is changed during the periodic service at least every 5 years. Frequent use
may shorten the lifetime of this element, which is considered a wear part. We would recom-
mend replacing the element every other year if used frequently, to avoid that it stops working
during use.
Function
The toilet is designed to consume a minimum amount of energy. The combustion time and
temperature in the chamber has been optimised for the average need of a family of 4 people.
Frequent visits and large amounts of waste may result in incomplete combustion of some of
the paper - or, less frequently, the excrements.
When you press down the pedal on the right, the burner lids will open, and the waste will fall
into the combustion chamber. Keep the pedal down until all the waste falls into the combus-
tion chamber. Press the green button to start a combustion cycle. If you find that all the waste
does not fall into the combustion chamber, you can step on the pedal once to open the two lids
again. A combustion cycle takes about 90 minutes. After combustion, the heating element will
be turned off and the cooling fan will run until the toilet has cooled down.
If a cycle is already underway when the next visit is made, the toilet will add extra time beyond
90 minutes if the visit is made within the first 30 minutes of the combustion time. When the
combustion is complete, the fan will run until the toilet has cooled down sufficiently.
