Page 15 Removing Compost from the Patented Bio-drum ™ Periodically you will need to remove compost from the Bio-drum™. When the Bio-drum™ is half full (about 9 inches from the bottom of the drum door) it is time to remove some compost. Pull the drum locker button out as far as possible (located on the handle side of the composter).
Page 16 Springtime Start Up [Seasonal Users] Empty Compost from Last Season Before your first use of the toilet, extract compost from the Bio-drum™ by releasing the drum locker then rotate the handle counter-clockwise giving the drum one complete revolution only. Compost from the drum will drop into the finishing drawer.

There are several products that are effective for killing insects in the compost that will not slow down the composting action. Contact Sun-Mar customer service department for more information.
