(EN) INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. COMPOSTING PERMITS AND
REGULATIONS
The permits and regulations applicable to composting vary from
country to country and municipality to municipality. Consult your
local municipal environmental authority for the regulations valid
in your area.

2. CHOOSING CORRECT COMPOSTER
LOCATION
The composter is easier to move when the emptying hatch and
SV
lid are removed. Place Quick Composter 500 in a location where
you can easily take your waste and empty the composter all year
round. Set the composter up on a firm surface at a location with
good drainage. Make sure that the composter is level or slightly
EN
tilted backwards by elevating the front end a bit.
Quick Composter 500 is equipped with a seep liquid opening
near the bottom at the back of the bin to drain any excess liquid.
Place the composter directly onto the ground so that the soil will
DE
absorb any seep liquid. Alternatively, you can collect the seep liq-
uid (see Chapter 3.1).
If Quick Composter 500 is placed in an outdoor storage or simi-
lar location, install the supplied hose connector in the seep liq-
NO
uid hole and connect it to a hose with a 19-millimetre internal
diameter. You can run the hose to a floor drain, canister or similar
solution.
If the compost mass is unusually wet, seep liquid may also seep
ET
from under the emptying hatch (part 4) and from the adjustment
valve at the front of the composter (part 13). If this happens, in-
crease the amount of bulking material.

3. PRIOR TO USE
Check that the liquid separation plate on the bottom of the bin is
in place in its groove and facing the right way up.

3.1 Attaching the seep liquid hose and
draining liquid
RU
Quick Composter 500 includes a seep liquid opening near the
bottom in the back of the bin to drain any excess liquid out of
the bin and absorb it into the soil. You can collect the seep liquid
in a container if you like, but this is not mandatory. The hose and
FR
canister must be purchased separately.
Attach the supplied hose connector (part 21) to the seep liquid
opening and then connect a hose with a diameter of 19 mm to the
connector. Place the other end of the hose in a container located
PL
in such a place that the liquid will flow downhill. If you want, you
can use film-faced plywood to make a covered pit for the canister
and insulate it on the outside (Figure 1). You can use any canister
made of frost-proof plastic. You can purchase the canister from
CS
a retailer or from the Biolan webstore.
3.2 Connecting the outlet air pipe
DA
Quick Composter 500 has an outlet air valve in the lid to dis-
charge air from inside the composter. If the composter is placed
in a canopy or similar location, you can connect Quick Composter
500 to a 75 or 50 mm diameter outlet air pipe if you wish (Fig-
ure 2). Drainage pipes available from HVAC stores are suitable as
ES
outlet air pipes.
