HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR COMPOSTER

Cleaning your composter

We recommend cleaning the composter exterior once a month or as frequently as you would clean any other kitchen appliance. To keep your machine at optimal performance, clean the interior of the bucket routinely.

1. Ensure your composter is unplugged before cleaning.
2. Simply wipe with a damp dish cloth. If your composter is particularly dirty, add a small amount of dish soap to your cleaning process.
3. Use a dry cloth to remove excess moisture.

Note: never submerge your composter under water. There are electrical components inside and any excess water can cause significant damage and may cause electric shock.

Cleaning the bucket

The bucket can be easily removed and washed by hand or placed in the dishwasher for a more thorough cleaning.

• Allow your bucket to cool before handling it or placing it back in your composter.
• It is recommended to soak for a while before cleaning.

Ensure the bucket is free from any excess dirt/ particles before placing it in the dishwasher.

REPLACE THE CARBON FILTER

Note:

• The biodegradable activated carbon filter can be stored for 6 months in the working environment of the kitchen composter, and can be stored for more than 1 year in a normal sealed environment.
• If it will not be used for a long time, please remove the activated carbon filter and keep it sealed.

1. Remove the filter caps.

2. Locate and remove the filters.

3. Install the new filters.
   Note: take off the white stickers before installing the filters.

4. After replacing the filter cartridge, press and hold the filter reset indicator light for 3 seconds. The red light will go out, the life of the filter cartridge will reset to zero, and the life of the new filter cartridge will be counted again.
