### 🚽 How to Use the OGO™ ORIGIN Compost Toilet System

**Clean. Waterless. Easy.**  
Thanks for staying! This composting toilet is designed to be simple and low-maintenance—no plumbing, no smells, no worries. Just follow these quick steps.

---

### 💧 Step 1: Use Like a Normal Toilet

Yes, really. Sit comfortably and go as usual.  
**There’s no flush**—instead, the OGO™ separates liquids and solids for odor-free composting.

---

### 🔄 Step 2: Let the Toilet Do the Work

- **Liquids** go into a sealed urine bottle.
- **Solids** drop into a separate chamber with coco coir (a natural compost medium).
- After each solid use, press the **gray button** to **activate mixing** (just once!). This helps blend the waste with the compost medium.

---

### 💨 Step 3: Don’t Worry About Smells

A **built-in fan** keeps fresh air moving and vents any moisture or odor outside.  
No sprays. No chemicals. Just clean air.

---

### 🚦 Step 4: Know When It’s Time to Empty

- **Urine bottle full?** The red sensor light on the front will turn on.
- **Solids full?** You’ll notice when the crank starts feeling stiff, or there’s no more room in the chamber.

---

### 🧼 Step 5: Easy Emptying

Ask your host if you're unsure—usually, they handle this! But if needed:

- **Urine bottle**: Twist the cap, remove, and dump in a designated outdoor spot or toilet. Rinse with a bit of water and vinegar if needed.
- **Solids bin**: Only emptied occasionally. Compost will look dry and earthy. Dispose of it where instructed.

---

### 🚫 Please Avoid These

- **No toilet paper in solids bin** – Use a separate wastebasket or confirm with your host.
- **No wet wipes, sanitary products, or trash** – These can damage the system.
- **No over-cranking** – One press of the gray button is enough!

---

### 🌿 Thank You

By using this composting toilet, you’re helping save water and reduce waste—without sacrificing comfort. If you have any questions, just ask your host!
