–The mixing mechanism should automatically activate with each use
–The mixing mechanism may activate occasionally when the unit is not in use
2. The compost tray may be full of dry humus, which can be emptied back into the top chamber.
3. Add a handful of bulking agent for every #2 you do – or about 1 litre once a week
4. Check the uid level indictor tube on the side of the unit
–If you can see liquid in the tube, turn the thermostat up one click
–The thermostat setting may vary depending on the use patterns and climate
1. Check the uid level indicator tube regularly and adjust thermostat accordingly

3. Empty the compost tray BEFORE it is full
–Most people empty it once a month to avoid overlling
