7.1 Activated Carbon Filter Replacement

The activated carbon filter is crucial for effective deodorization and should be replaced periodically, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage.

1. Unplug the unit from the power outlet.
2. Locate the filter compartment, usually on the side or back of the unit.
3. Remove the old activated carbon filter.
4. Insert a new activated carbon filter, ensuring it is correctly seated.

7.2 Adding Bioflake Booster

The Bioflake Booster helps maintain the activity of the microorganisms in the processing chamber, enhancing decomposition and deodorization. Add booster as needed, or if processing efficiency decreases.

1. Open the lid of the unit.
2. Sprinkle the recommended amount of Bioflake Booster directly into the processing chamber.
3. Close the lid.

7.3 Cleaning the Unit

Periodically clean the exterior and interior of the unit to maintain hygiene.

1. Unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3. For the interior, remove any large debris. The processing chamber is designed to be largely self-cleaning due to the bio-drying process. If necessary, gently wipe accessible surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not use excessive water.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Reencle Gravity, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Unusual Odor:

  • Add Bioflake Booster to revitalize the microorganisms.
  • Verify that only acceptable waste types are being added.
• Unit Not Powering On:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Ensure the power switch (if present) is in the 'ON' position.
