EcoLet 25e & 65e

These EcoLet models are continuous process units (as opposed to batch systems), which means
the waste is processed inside the unit producing nished compost which falls into a tray at the
bottom of the unit.The tray is emptied every 6 to 12 weeks depending on use.
The systems are designed and built in Sweden and are completely odourless.The fan driven
ventilation system, automated mixing mechanism and thermostatically controlled heating elements
combine to encourage an efcient aerobic composting process and evaporate uids.The nished
compost can then be safely reintroduced to the landscape.

The first week
Regular maintenance
Trouble shooting
Beware!
1. Monitor the unit every day
– Bulking agent should be porous and have a moderately moist texture
–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
–Fluid showing = turn thermostat up
2. Add bulking agent regularly
3. Empty the compost tray BEFORE it is full
–Most people empty it once a month to avoid overlling
