1. Pushing the Start Button closes the Start Switch which engages a timer. Timer begins a new cycle each
time start switch is closed. Timer doesn’t accumulate time, merely starts over again.
2. Timer is set to 75 minutes at factory. Timer activates temperature controller. Controller output is connected
to the coil of a Relay, which controls the electric current to the heater.
3. Temperature Controller responds to the output from a Thermocouple, which measures Heater tempera-
ture. When the temperature of the lower coil of the heater reaches approximately 1000+ degrees F., con-
troller shuts down the relay, which cuts off the heater. When heater temperature falls to about 960 degrees
F., controller again activates relay and heater comes on. Heater is off, then on, about twice a minute.
4. Timer also controls exhaust blower. Blower and heater come on and both stay on for 75 minutes together.
After heater cuts off, blower continues on until incinerator area has cooled to about 130 degrees F.
5. Blower Thermostat (ITS) closes when it senses a temperature of 130 degrees F., and stays closed after the
heating cycle is over, until incinerator temperature falls below 130 degrees F., about 20 to 40 minutes later.
Power Consumption
One complete cycle uses about 1 1/2 to 2 kilowatt hours of electricity. Because you can use INCINOLET any
time during the cycle, your “per use” cost is lower.
During a Power Failure
If waste is burning in the INCINOLET when the electric service is interrupted, you may get smoke and odor
in the room. Open a window to ventilate as best you can. When power comes back on, the fan should start
automatically, if needed, and run until unit is cool enough. Heater does not come on until you push the button.
You can push foot pedal to check contents of ashpan then start a cycle if needed.
To Interrupt an Incineration Cycle
In normal use, it is never necessary to stop a cycle to add waste. (See “How to Use”, page 2.) However, on rare
occasions (doing repairs, etc.), you may want to stop a cycle in progress. Turn the circuit breaker off momen-
tarily(or unplug INCINOLET) tocancelthecycle. Then turn thecircuit breaker back on (orplugin INCINOLET)
so that the toilet is ready for use. If unit is hot enough to need it, the blower should come back on automatically
to cool it. NOTE: If blower does not come on, smoke and odor may come directly into room. In this case, you
may want to start the cycle again for a few minutes to finish burning off the waste remaining in the ashpan.
Thermostats Your INCINOLET is equipped with three thermostats.
1. SAFETY THERMOSTATS (STS) shuts heater off if air temperature inside toilet reaches about 140°F. It is
located on the front surface of the control box at the upper right rear of the unit. To replace, disconnect volt-
age, remove top of unit, disconnect lead wires to old thermostat, and replace. (Fig. 9)
2. BLOWER THERMOSTAT (ITS) turns fan off when outside skin of chamber cools to 130°F and will turn fan
on again if temperature increases. It is accessible through access panel opening, just to the left of the heat-
er terminals. To replace, follow same procedure as for STS above. (Fig. 12)
3. LIMIT THERMOSTAT (TS) turns heater off if skin of chamber reaches a temperature of 300°F. It is located
below the ITS blower thermostat and heater terminals, outside ashpan compartment. To replace, follow
same instructions as for other thermostats. (Fig. 12)
