Follow four steps for a successful installation of your Cinderella incinceration toilet!
Cinderella incineration toilets are easy to install, and many of our customers elect to handle the installation themselves. Please study the installation manual delivered with the toilet, carefully, and make sure you have the necessary tools at hand to ensure a proper installation. If you are in doubt whether the installation can be done as described in the enclosed manuals, you should consult the dealer you bought the product from, or contact us, the manufacturer, directly.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, THERE ARE 4 MAIN STEPS IN THE PROPER INSTALLATION OF A CINDERELLA:

Select a location for the toilet

Cinderella is approved for use in wet rooms (IP34) and may be installed in rooms without heating. It is not necessary to attach the toilet to the floor. Air is supplied to the toilet through ventilation openings below the toilet. The foundation must be hard and level – not carpeted. Cinderella may be installed on a heated floor. There are no minimum distance requirements with regard to installation near flammable materials.

Make sure there is a good supply of fresh air to the toilet room

The toilet unit will extract air from the toilet room. If the room is not equipped with an air vent, a new vent should be installed as close to the toilet as possible. The vent must be well dimensioned (at least Ø 160mm / 201cm2). The best location is in the wall or floor directly below the toilet. (This only applies to the CLASSIC and GAS models – the Comfort model has a separate ventilation pipe for air supply to the toilet.)

Install the ventilation outlet pipe, vertical pipe and chimney top

Ventilation pipes may be installed in several ways, depending on whether you are feeding them through the wall or directly up through the roof. The ideal installation is to go straight up from the T-bend, without bend, and ending up above a roof where the ventilation fan will be assisted by the chimney effect. Smooth pipes of minimum 110mm diameter must be used everywhere. Do not use flexible pipes or smaller dimensions. Do not install any external fans for the outlet air pipe. Any external fans installed for the outlet air pipe will disturb the toilet’s airflow balance. Make sure that the roof feed-through is in compliance with building regulations. If you are unsure, contact a professional.

Connect the toilet to a power supply and the ventilation pipe

For the Classic and Comfort models, connect the toilet to the mains supply by plugging the power cable into an earthed wall socket (at least 10A). Connect Cinderella Gas to a 12V power supply with a dedicated cable to the battery

Cinderella Eco Group AS is located in Norway. They have recently launched their innovative Incineration Toilet to Australian home renovators and builders; and groups looking for an eco-friendly toilet solution. Distribution is through Retrolooms in Melbourne.

Link to original article here…

What is an incineration toilet? An incineration toilet burns biological waste at high temperatures, leaving only an insignificant quantity of ash amounting to the equivalent of about one teacup for four people during one week of use. Waste is burned in an enclosed incineration chamber; with the gases from the process expelled through a ventilation pipe. Incineration toilets are a complete waste solution in that they get rid of all waste at once, without having to be collected and transported elsewhere. With the Cinderella Incineration Toilet the waste ends up as odourless, biodegradable ash which you can dispose into your household trash. Incineration toilets are already a popular alternative for toilet installations in remote areas of Europe, as the solution does not require a water supply or a sewer-connection. Cinderella offers several types of incineration toilets using both electricity and gas as sources of energy [still seeking gas-approvals in Australia in March/April 2019].

Why choose an incineration toilet? Challenges regarding water supply, sewerage solutions and infrastructure for vacation homes and other segments are easily solved with the Cinderella. Situations include home renovation projects where a toilet is required in the basement; as part of a roof-space conversion; as part of a granny flat; or as part of a home-extension. The price for the Cinderella Comfort 240V which comes with an installation kit, 500 liners, a liner holder and a maintenance kit, is $6996. That’s all relative when you calculate the alternative cost of installing a septic system for the price of $25K-35K. The cost of the incineration toilet can be compared with the alternative costs of installing plumbing and sewer-connections to arrive at the most economical home renovation budget. Home renovators and new builds often face major costs and strict regulations when installing sanitary solutions. In remote areas, running water, drains and electricity can be difficult to access; but an incineration toilet can make it possible to achieve approximately the same level of comfort enjoyed at home, without major costs and installation work for water and sewerage. Incineration toilets require little space and are simple to install; resulting in significant savings on the total installation cost.

Other features and benefits. Cinderella incorporates software that adapts and optimizes the incineration process according to the amount of waste being processed for energy efficient utilization. Cinderella is equipped with an information display for operational messages; its capacity is high; and the unit will notify you when it is time to empty the ash container. With its clean lines and high-quality finish, Cinderella makes a favourable impression in any bathroom or toilet.

How to use. Lift lid and you will hear the fan start; place bowler liner; then use the toilet. Close lid and press the flush-button. Incineration will commence. If another person wants to use the toilet right after, the incineration will stop as soon as the lid is lifted. The maximum capacity is 12 people; and the toilet will indicate if no more people can use it if the chamber is full and therefore a full incineration process needs to be completed. The toilet will also indicate when the ash-tray needs to be emptied. 4 people using the toilet for 7 days will create a small cup of ash that is completely environment-friendly. There is no smell; and no toilet brush is needed. If the toilet get dirty inside it can easily be cleaned with a nappy-wipe, which can then be incinerated.

Not everyone has access to electricity in their vacation homes.

When you seek a rustic way of life in more remote places, it’s good to know that there are toilet systems that can operate without electricity such as the Cinderella Gas. Cinderella Gas is a propane powered toilet that burns biological waste at high temperature down to a minimal amount of ash. The model is based on the high-quality Cinderella Classic, but it uses propane as an energy source instead of electricity.

That means Cinderella Gas can be used in all areas where access to 230V is limited or absent, a distinct advantage for many vacation home owners, including Anders Heyerdahl from Bærum, Norway. From nightmare to dream Having bought a Swedish gas toilet that caught fire in 2005, Anders Heyerdahl ended up building an old-fashioned outhouse. It was not the plan and not a solution he was happy with. So, in 2008 he decided to invest in a toilet he could rely on.

That same year he learned about the Cinderella Gas. Full functional even at 29 degrees C below zero “My first meeting with my very first Cinderella started out extremely well. You could say that I was happily surprised. But when winter came, the toilet began to fail. I contacted Cinderella and the toilet was sent to their service workshop. Fortunately, it turned out that all it needed was a minor electronic adjustment. The toilet functioned poorly to begin with because the air is a little thin at 1,000 meters’ altitude where my cottage is located.

After the adjustment, I haven’t had any further problems,” says a satisfied Heyerdahl and adds: “I must admit that I was a bit anxious when the thermometer showed minus 29 degrees Celsius, but it turned out that there was no cause for concern. It was full ignition even though I only have a 12V battery with a small solar panel.” Today the outhouse has been turned into a woodshed and Anders Heyerdahl is the happy owner of two Cinderella, one for gas and the other for electricity. “Cinderella is a top product!” Heyerdahl concludes.

Construction life can present challenges, especially when working at heights of 254 meters. The everyday lives of workers at The Great Belt Bridge could have become a challenge had it not been for Cinderella.

When the English workers from Spencer Group planned their mission to protect and maintain the main cables against rust on the Great Belt bridge that connects Denmark to Sweden, they were met with a challenge. In order to adhere to strict on-site safety measures, they needed to install toilet facilities at the bridge. Cinderella Eco Solution got the job, and set a new record – Denmark’s and maybe even the world’s most elevated toilet. 

“It’s not every day we work at such heights, so this has been both exciting and fun,” says sales and marketing manager Thomas Krogedal in Cinderella. 

During maintenance work on the 254-meter high towers, a “cable creep” was mounted which transported the workers up and down the bridge’s main cables. Restrooms on top of bridge tower spared the workers unnecessary trips up and down and this ensured efficiency and the workers’ safety.

“It quickly becomes a daunting affair when you consider a stop to the toilet involves 254 meters!” says Krogedal.

The maintenance works on bridge will shortly be completed and the restrooms will be transported back down, “But we are ready to set new records and reach greater heights,” concludes Thomas Krogedal.

Sport inspires enthusiasm and engagement. “By sponsoring our local ski jumping talent, Johann André Forfang, we are supporting growth and bringing pleasure to our many sports enthusiasts.”

So says Plant Manager Frode Hansen at Cinderella Eco Group’s factory. “Sponsoring Johann isn’t an incidental choice,” he adds. “We have employees who identify with much of what he does, not to mention that it is possible to come from relatively small and humble circumstances and succeed in the big world. Johann has shown us what is possible and we have done the same with our products.”

Common values

According to Hansen, Cinderella has supported Johann since he was 14 years old. This support has increased considerably in recent years, relative to the local star’s results. “We have strengthened our cooperation because we like the values ​Johann represent. He is hardworking, purposeful and incredibly talented. It’s easy for us to identify ourselves with him and vice versa.”

“We are overjoyed with all his good results in recent competitions, Cinderella Eco Group are quite simply proud sponsors who will continue to cheer this local talent on.” Visit Johann’s website.

When the market leading Cinderella Incineration Toilet was launched on the Norwegian market in 1999, many found their leisure life vastly improved. Not only are the toilets known for high quality, they also have great capacity.
One of many advantages of incineration toilets, is that they work perfectly without water and sewage systems and with the Gas model, they can even be operated without electricity.

“All of them provide approximately the same comfort as toilets at home,” says sales and market leader Thomas Krogedal.

The Classic model is the first of Cinderella’s incineration toilets and it is still an option many prefer, but after research and adaptations based on feedback from the market, a new and improved model was launched: the Cinderella Comfort. This incineration toilet has raised the bar even further.

“We named it Comfort because it entails a substantially better indoor air quality than with the traditional incineration models,” Krogedal explains.  All air for the incineration process is taken from the outside of the home through separate pipes.

“Cinderella Comfort is the most efficient and hygienic incineration toilet we have on the market today,” says Krogedal, adding: “Another benefit of Cinderella Comfort is that it comes with an information display. This provides continuous information on the use of the toilet and will also alert the user when to empty the ash tray.” Operating display messages can be set in seven different language.

Krogedal points out that regardless if you choose the Classic or the Comfort, you get a toilet for your vacation home with very many advantages.

“Both models are easy to install, they are suitable for cold areas, childproof, NEMKO approved and CE marked and with a three-year warranty. We also have a service network available internationally.

All incineration toilets from Cinderella Eco Solution follow strict environmental standards, with bacteria-free ash as only the final product. The ashes are full of biodegradable nutrients that can be used as fertilizer in your garden.

Got some clean electricity? Then you can cremate your crap.

Years ago when we first got a cabin in the woods, we had an Incinolet incinerating toilet. It was all stainless steel and built like a tank, but sounded like a jet plane in your living room and if the wind wasn’t blowing, the whole place smelled a bit like burned something. A friend’s child using it was so put off by the flames and smell that it put him off toilet training for a year. We switched to a composting toilet.

Link to original article here…

But there is something so North American about incineration, compared to composting. It’s tidy and sanitary, just a bit of ash (a cup per person per week) instead of a big glob of poop and peat moss. It is truly living better electrically. If it works.

That is why I was so excited about the Cinderella incinerating toilets that I saw at Toronto’s Cottage Life Show. It is a dainty glass slipper compared to the steel-toed construction boot that was the Incinolet. It is all tidy and modern and computerized as it turns your poop into cinders, Ella. They have sold tens of thousands of them in Norway where they have been made for almost 20 years.

Like the Incinolet, you first insert a sort of wax paper coffee filter to line the stainless steel bowl, because there is no water to keep things clean. When you have done your duty you close the lid and press the start button, and that’s it; no pedals, no timers, it does the rest.

And what it does is open its stainless steel bowl so that the bundle of poop drops down into the combustion chamber, the electric elements fire up and turn the poop and urine into ash and water vapour, the fans suck everything through a catalytic filter that takes out any smells and then pushes it up through the chimney.

Cinderella claims it is all environmentally friendly, and compared to a big septic system with pumps and serious water consumption, it probably is. But it uses a lot of electricity; between .8 and 2.0 kWh depending on the prodigiousness of the poop. That is a lot of energy.

On the other hand, my Envirolet composting toilet has a fan drawing 40 watts all the time, or .94 kWh per day, and when cranks up to 540 watts when there is urine to evaporate, so it is not exactly electricity free. (There are many other models that use solar power to run the fan and do not evaporate the liquids, so it is not a simple comparison. I am just making the point that composting toilets often use electricity too.) At least with the Cinderella, you only use electricity when you use the toilet. It also is great for cold climates, being totally freeze-proof. Perhaps one could stick an HRV on the exhaust and heat your home with it.

They also make a version that runs on propane gas to do the poop cooking and a little 12 volt DC to run the fans, but depending on where you live, that can have a much higher carbon footprint.

The Cinderella is not cheap, but nothing made in Norway is. It starts at US$ 4,695 for the Classic unit that takes its air from the room, two and a half times as expensive as the good old American Incinolet. But that is a bargain compared to a septic system, and comparable with the fanciest composting systems. It uses a lot of electricity and there are composting toilets that don’t.

But it is exciting to see innovation in the slow moving world of waste. If it works as well as they say, it is the new hot seat for cottage and cabin country.
