In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to use the Cinderella incineration toilet properly—so you get the best performance, efficiency, and lifespan from your system.
How to Use an Incineration Toilet
Using an incineration toilet is very similar to using a standard toilet, with just a few simple differences.
Step 1: Open the Lid
When you open the lid, the system activates ventilation automatically to manage airflow and odours.
Step 2: Insert a Bowl Liner
Place a new liner (bag) into the bowl before every use.
-
- One user = one liner
- Ensures hygiene and smooth operation
- Helps waste drop cleanly into the chamber
These liners are specially designed to handle heat and moisture.
Step 3: Use the Toilet Normally
Sit down and use the toilet as you would at home.
(Yes—everyone should sit, even for quick visits. This helps keep everything contained and working properly.)
Step 4: Close the Lid
Once finished, close the lid.
Step 5: Start the Incineration Cycle
Press the start button.
-
- Waste and liner drop into the chamber
- The incineration process begins
- A light indicator shows the system is running

Here are some Common Questions Guests Ask
What happens after you start the cycle?
Waste is burned at high temperatures, odours are filtered, and only a small amount of ash remains. A cycle takes around 60–80 minutes, and the toilet can still be used during this time.
How often do you empty it?
Typically every few days to a week, depending on use. The ash volume is minimal—usually about a cup per household per week.
Do incineration toilets smell?
No—ventilation and high heat eliminate odours.
Can you use it while it’s running?
Yes. Opening the lid pauses the cycle and resumes when closed.
Do they use water?
No—they are completely waterless.
What’s left after incineration?
Only a small amount of sterile ash.
Any tips for best performance?
Always use a liner, avoid overloading (3–4 uses per hour), add a little water if needed, empty ash regularly, and preheat for heavy use.
