Cleaning the Exhaust Pipe and Catalyst
Recommended frequency: Annually or every 500 uses
A smooth-running air circulation system is critical to keep your toilet functioning properly. Particles generated during the
incineration process can clog the catalyst and exhaust pipe over time, and is important to regularly maintain these elements to
ensure your toilet continues to function properly.
BASIC CLEANING OF THE CATALYST
1. Disconnect the power cable and pull the toilet off the inlet/outlet pipes.
2. Release and remove the ash container.
3. In the center of the fan housing at the back of the toilet, you will find the catalyst exhaust. If you are having trouble
locating the catalyst exhaust, please see the technical diagram on page 6.
4. Clean the exhaust pipe with a flexible brush, use a vacuum cleaner afterwards to extract the remaining particles from the
exhaust. (Remove the ash container to ensure that you have access to air).
5. Reinstall the toilet properly, make sure that both the inlet and outlet pipes are correctly fixed to the toilet.
See the installation manual for further instructions.
6. Put the insert back into the ash container and place the container back into the toilet by rotating the handle to the left
until it stops. The red and yellow lights will turn off.
7. Place the front cover back on the toilet.
8. Open the lid. Press and hold the Start button to open the toilet in washing position. Without placing a bowler liner or toilet
paper in the toilet, pour 1/4 gallon (1 liter) of water into the toilet.
You may also use water to clean the bowl
.
Close the
toilet lid then push the Start button to start the incineration process. The water inside the insert will boil away and the hot
steam will clean the catalyst.
ADVANCED CLEANING OF THE CATALYST
(Perform basic cleaning steps 1–4 before starting on the advanced cleaning)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This procedure requires heavy lifting and access to an area where you can spill water,
for example a shower, tub or outside.
1. Locate a stable base/ground and place the toilet on it.
2. Tilt the toilet with the front oriented downwards. The front edge of the toilet should be about 8 inches (20 cm) above the
ground.
3. Insert a funnel into the end of the exhaust pipe. Pour about 1 gallon (4 liters) of hot water (hot tap water) into the funnel.
Make sure that water does not spill over the funnel, the water will come out from the catalyst within the incineration
chamber and flow out of the front of the toilet, where ash container normally sits. (Wait 1–2 minutes after pouring water
before moving the toilet, this will allow all the water to drain.)
4. Reinstall the toilet properly, make sure that both the inlet and outlet pipes are correctly fixed to the toilet.
See the installation manual for further instructions.
5. Dry out the catalyst by initiating an incineration process without inserting a bag and/or paper, close lid and press Start.
