(EN) INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. PLANNING AND INSTALLATION
Install Biolan Simplett Plus horizontally on a floor surface. When selecting the location, consider the organisation of the ventila­tion and liquid removal and leave enough space for use and main­tenance. The device should be placed so that the ventilation pipe is easy to bring outside. Leave enough room between the device and the wall to make unloading of the device easier.
The device is delivered with the bulking material container turned downward. Lift the container and lock the latches (Figure 1).

1.1 Technical specifications
• depth 680mm
• width 530mm
• seat height 465mm
• height 1,020mm
• weight 10kg
• receptacle volume 28litres
• outer diameter of the drain pipe 32mm
• length of the drain pipe 335–935mm
1.2 Year-round use of the dry toilet
When installed in a heated space, you can use the Simplett Plus device all year round. In this case, ventilation and liquid removal must be thermally insulated in cold sections, and the drain pipe has to have a sufficient tilt to prevent liquid from freezing in the pipe. If liquid is collected in a canister, it has to be emptied in au­tumn to prevent the canister from breaking if it freezes. A dry toilet installed in a non-heated space can be occasionally used during winter. Simplett Plus is manufactured from cold-resistant materials that will not get damaged in freezing temperatures.

1.3 Ventilation
Installing the horizontal ventilation pipe
Install the horizontal ventilation pipe (part 11) in the device. En­sure that the pipe end comes on top of the receptacle so that possible condensate drains in the receptacle (see Figure 3).
Ventilation pipe through the back wall
Install the ventilation pipe through the back wall (Figure 4). Drill a lead-through of at least Ø 75mm on the back wall for the horizon­tal ventilation pipe (part 11) according to the dimensioned draw­ing (Figure 2). The hole drilled in the wall must be a little higher than the hole in the device to ensure the condensate does not remain stagnant in the pipe. Cut the horizontal ventilation pipe to the correct length so that the bend used connects to the vertical ventilation pipe with as gentle curve as possible. Ensure that the pipe is positioned inside the dry toilet as shown in Figure 3.
The horizontal ventilation pipe is extended with a sewer pipe of Ø 75mm until it reaches above the roof ridge. Biolan Ventilation Tube Package has been specifically designed for this purpose, and it is available as an accessory. Suitable pipe is also available at specialised HVAC shops and well-stocked hardware shops. It is recommended that a rounded bend is used. Additional curves in the ventilation pipe disrupt natural ventilation and can cause unwanted odours. Ventilation can be further improved by using Biolan Wind Fan.

Ventilation pipe in the toilet space
The ventilation pipe can be routed from the toilet to the roof according to the instructions given above (Figure 5). The lead­through to the roof can be sealed with a specific roof lead­through set. Hardware shops sell lead-throughs as accessories.
1.4 Liquid removal
Installing the liquid funnel and the liquid pipe
Attach the liquid funnel (part 14) to the liquid pipe (part 17), and install the funnel in the bracket (part 15) inside the device. Route the liquid pipe around the receptacle through the hole on the back of the device. The pipe is flexible, and its length can be adjusted by pulling both ends. If the site does not include sewer­age, make a hole of at least Ø 43mm for the liquid removal pipe (part 17) on the back wall or the floor (Figure 5).
Draining liquid
The liquid pipe must be led to a closed canister, container or sew­age system. In dimensioning the liquid tank and selecting its lo­cation, consider the fact that the volume of urine excreted daily is approximately 1–1.5litres per person. Ensure a sufficient tilt when installing the liquid pipe so that liquid will flow naturally downwards. This means that the hole made in the wall must be lower than the hole in the device (2–3cm/m). The canister can be placed on its side or buried in the ground. Sewer pipe parts of Ø 32mm are also suitable for extending the liquid pipe. It is recom­mended that you use a sleeve in the joints.

Nutrient-rich liquids cannot be discharged directly into the ground because they cause excessive point-source nutrient loading.

For more information on regulations concerning composting, contact your local waste advisor. More information on composting and using urine can be found at www.biolan.com.
2. SIMPLETT PLUS USE AND MAINTENANCE
The Simplett Plus dry toilet is always used while sitting to en­sure separation of solid matter and liquid.
When using the toilet for the first few times, it is recommended that you pay attention to a correct sitting position so that the urine is directed to the right place.
Remember to guide your guests in how to use the toilet. In addition to toilet waste, you can throw toilet paper and com-
postable sanitary wipes in your Simplett Plus dry toilet. Do not throw the following in the toilet:
• sanitary towels, trash
• chemicals, lime
• detergents, washing water
• ash, cigarette ends, matches

2.1 Using the bulking agent
Using a suitable bulking agent is crucial for the proper function­ing of the toilet. The recommended bulking agent is Biolan Toilet Bulking Material. Before use, place a couple of centimetres of the bulking agent on the bottom of the receptacle (part 12). Fill the bulking agent container (part 6) with bulking agent (Figure 6).
Add more bulking agent only after “number two” by pressing the dispenser knob (Figure 7).
2.2 Unloading the receptacle
When the receptacle in the toilet is full, it is unloaded in the com­poster. Open the locks behind the bulking agent container and turn the container on top of the seat (Figure 8). Open the con­tainer lid (Figure 9). Lift up the receptacle from the device and unload it (Figure 10).
Place the unloaded receptacle back inside the device, close the lid, lift the bulking agent container up, and lock the latches. If you use a biodegradable bag inside the container, place the contents and the bag separately in the composter to make the composting process more efficient. You can also place a piece of newspaper on the bottom of the receptacle under the bulking agent.

2.3 Emptying the liquid tank
Empty the liquid tank when required, but always before winter to prevent the tank from breaking when it freezes. Urine contains a lot of nutrients, especially nitrogen. It can be used right away as a fertiliser in the garden by diluting it with water in a ratio of 1:5 or as such after letting it stand for three months.
2.4 Composting solid waste
For hygienic reasons, all solid waste unloaded from the Simplett Plus dry toilet has to be composted before using it in the garden: at least for a year before using it as a fertiliser for edible plants and about six months before using it for ornamental plants. You can compost toilet waste as such or with garden or household waste. Consider local rules and regulations for waste manage­ment and sufficient safety distances to neighbours, wells and waterways. Burying waste in the ground is prohibited. Compost­ing toilet waste always requires a closed composter equipped with a lid. Compost waste in accordance with local instructions.
2.5 Cleaning
All parts of the Simplett Plus dry toilet can be cleaned using gen­eral household detergents. The toilet lid can be removed from the body. When you disconnect the device from its drain pipes and ventilation pipes, you can move the device outside. Wash the liquid bowl and funnel (parts 10 and 14) of the lid and flush the liquid pipe (part 17) with warm water and mild detergent or washing soda at least once a year to remove the sediment formed by urine.
Warranty
The Biolan Simplett Plus dry toilet has a one-year warranty.
1. The warranty is valid from the date of purchase and covers possible defects in material and workmanship. The warranty does not cover any indirect damage.
2. Biolan Oy reserves the right to either repair or replace dam­aged parts at its discretion.
3. Any damage resulting from careless or forcible handling of the device, failure to observe the operating instructions, or normal wear and tear are not covered by this warranty.
In warranty-related matters, please consult Biolan Oy directly.

3. TROUBLESHOOTING
3.1 Odour
If unwanted odour occurs, check that there is no liquid on the bottom of the device under the receptacle. If there is liquid on the bottom, check the joints of the liquid pipe and wash the in­ner parts of the device if required (see section 2.5). You can also prevent odour issues by pouring a little bit of water into the liquid funnel after each use. Remember to cover the waste with a suf­ficient amount of bulking agent.
3.2 Insects and their larvae
If there are flies or similar in the toilet, unload and wash the re­ceptacle and check the cleanliness of the body section (see sec­tion 2.5). Destroy the insects flying in the toilet with a sprayable pyrethrin-based insecticide. Contact your seller for advice on how to select a suitable product. Also ensure that ventilation is sufficient and that the bulking agent has been used appropriately.
