The knob at the back of the unit can be used to turn the bin, should there be an accumulation of compost in a

particular place (coning).

Remember that there is a balance between covering the deposit enough visually, and covering it excessively,

resulting in the chamber filling up and needing changing more often.

Our compost starter/accelerator may also be added.

4. SERVICE

a) Check the fan 1) monthly to ensure it is working or 2) if you notice unusual odour.

b) The average length of time until a container is ¾ full (recommended exchange level) is around 4 – 8

weeks at 2 people full time use.

c) The fallow containers need to be secured to prevent tampering by young children. This can be achieved

by keeping the containers in a locked area or by securing and locking a strap around the composting

container that can not be undone by young children.

d) It is not vital that the fallow container is kept in the sun, however composting is accelerated by warmth.

Therefore choosing a warm spot is helpful, as long as provision a) above is observed.

To exchange or empty the Scandi Pod, protective clothing, face mask, glasses and gloves must be worn at all

times. Lift the container out. Cover with lid. Lift the second container in place. You can use a rubbish bin when

carrying the container out to avoid any spillage. Childproof fallow containers as per point 4c above. The waste

will finish composting in this container (3 months on average).

When emptying a container, carry to the prepared disposal site. Gently lay the container on its side and start

emptying the container with a spade or shovel. Always observe safe work methods. Clean the container by

hosing if required.

5. USE OF COMPOST

a. Bury the contents of the container into a prepared area. Burial depth is a minimum of 300mm

in soil that is not intended for human food cultivation for six (6) months, and

b. Burial should be a minimum of 30 metres from any water source and 6 metres from any sub-

soil or open drainage system, or

c. Disposed of as directed by the Local Government.

6. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS

Composting will occur satisfactorily between 5 and 50 degrees Celsius.

If you are leaving the premises for a couple of weeks, it is OK to hibernate the system.

Cover the compost with a generous amount of peat and turn the fan off.

When re-activating the system turn the fan on and possibly add some compost starter.

If going away for a prolonged period of time, turn the fan off, take the active bin outside to compost,

and cover.

Start the system up as per usual on your return.
