TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Power supply 220-240V~, 50-60Hz
Input Power 500W
Food waste capacity 3.8L

FEATURES

• This must-have kitchen solution uses
intelligent composting technology to easily
convert food scraps and organic waste into
useful compost.

• The dual air filtration system with charcoal
filters eliminates unpleasant odours and
keeps your kitchen clean and beautiful.

• Includes auto-weigh and self-cleaning
functions for added convenience.

• 6-blade grinder system is detachable,
making cleaning a breeze.

1. Connect appliance to power supply. Open lid
by gently pulling the locking handle upwards.

2. Take out each charcoal filter and use the
handle at top to twist anticlockwise to open.
Fill each filter with required number of
charcoal pellets (total should not exceed
500g for both) and fasten the lid by replacing
and turning clockwise.

3. Put both charcoal filters and the kitchen
waste bucket back in their respective cavities
in the main unit. Gently rotate the bucket to
the left or right until you hear a click sound
and it falls into place.
Note: one bag (500g) of charcoal is just
enough to fill both the small filter and large
filter. For the small filter box, it can fill about
130g of charcoal, and for the big filter box,
it can fill about 340g.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Before each use ensure mixing paddle lock
is securely fastened to mixing paddle lock
seat before use, failure to lock in the grinding
mechanism will result in internal damage to
the appliance.

4. Fill the bucket with waste to be composted,

ensuring you do not over fill, so it hits the
top of the stage one filter in the lid. Close
the lid and lock the handle in place with a
click sound. Press the power button to switch
on appliance. Allow up to 3 seconds for the
appliance to start up.

5. Select desired composting mode by pressing

the Auto or Manual button. The display will
light up with the set time and remaining time.

6. Auto mode: composter automatically

determines running time (4–6 hours)
depending on weight of waste in basket.

Food waste weight Running time

Up to 400g 4 hours
400–800g 5 hours
Over 800g 6 hours

When Auto mode is selected, the Compost light
will begin flashing
weighs the basket and will go out once time
is selected.

7. Manual mode: manually determine running

time by repeatedly pressing Manual
(1–3 hours)

8. Once time has been using either manual

mode or auto mode, press the power button

while the composter

again to start running the composter. The time
left display will begin counting down. Once it
reaches zero, appliance will beep and enter
standby mode. The treated waste is ready to use.
Note: foods that are high and starch and water
content may need to be set for an additional
period of time using the manual setting to get
the desired consistency. Output of the process
should be a dry, crispy dirt, if this consistency
has not been achieved at the end of run time
select additional time using manual mode.

9. Once the food waste has been treated in a
single cycle, it can be safely disposed in your
organic waste bin or stored in a sealed bag
to make compost using the compost method.
Caution: Kitchen waste bucket will be hot
after composting. Allow to cool before
removing from main unit.

COMPOST METHOD

1. Add 400g water into 800g of
treated food waste (or 50% of
total waste volume)

2. Press Auto to start composting
for 3 hours.

3. Once operation is finished, add
required composting agents
(microorganisms or worms) to
the waste to let it mature. This
process takes about 12 hours.

4. Once compost has been cured,
store it in a sealed bag for up
to 1 week. To plant seedlings,
mix compost with soil in a 1:10
ratio before planting to avoid
root burning.

TIPS

• To ensure best results, it is recommended to
mix a variety of food types in each composting
cycle. Greasy, hard-to-digest ingredients are
best mixed with lighter, drier ingredients.

• Output of the process should be a dry, crispy
dirt, if this consistency has not been achieved
at the end of run time select additional time
using manual mode.

• Foods that are high and starch, dense and
moisture-rich may need to be set for an
additional period of time using the manual
setting to get the desired consistency.

• Please avoid adding large quantities of the
following alone:

Starch (bread, cakes, rice, noodles, mashed

°

potatoes, stuffing)
Condiments, dressings, sauces and large

°

amounts of grease
Citrus fruit rinds

°

High sugar fruits (grapes, cherries,

°

oranges, bananas)
Nut butters, jellies

°

Cucumbers Jams, jellies and

salads

ginger pieces

Chocolate chips

whole root vegetables

Apples, pears,
whole fruits

or chunks

Corn kernels

Sunflower seeds,
pumpkin seeds, other
types of seeds

and other herbs

Dates, apricots and
other dried fruits

• Large quantities of dense, moisture-rich and
starchy, these foods tend to solidify and stick
to the mixing paddle of the waste bucket, these
can be processed but in small quantities.

• When processing food waste that is high
in starches and sugar, sauces or fatty food
waste, be sure to mix them with other food
waste. If these types of food waste are
processed without mixing, there is a chance
that the end product may become stuck
to the bottom of the bucket and fail to
process entirely.

• If your end product comes out less than
optimal, simply add more food waste and
start the cycle again.

• If the mixing paddle is stuck, the appliance
will stop running and switch to self­preservation mode (error code will be
displayed). Remove the bucket and remove
the blockage manually, soaking the bucket
overnight in warm soapy water. Do not use
metal tools or wire brushes to clear out
the blockage.

Sticky or gooey foods
(including chewing
gum)

Coffee capsules

Whole spices with
tough shells (nutmeg,
cinnamon sticks etc)

• Do NOT attempt to treat non-organic waste
(including glass, metal, and wood) with this
appliance.

• Do not add large pork or beef bones, candy
or chewing gum; these materials may
overload the motor and seriously damage
the appliance.

• Do not add cooking oil or other flammable
materials. This may damage the appliance
while running.

• It is normal for the appliance to emit knocking
sounds while running; these are produced by
chopping up stems or other particularly hard
food waste.

• It is normal to have some condensation
after running the machine, the stage one
filter will filter access moisture and it will
condensate here.

• This appliance uses a dual air filtration
system with dual charcoal filters provided.
Adjust the number of pellets in each filter
depending on the amount of waste and
gases produced.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT

• If the Filter

light is flashing, it means the
charcoal pellets inside the filters need to be
changed. It is recommended to replace the
charcoal every 3 months for more effective
filtration.

• Remove the charcoal filters from their
cavities and unscrew lids. Dispose of the
used charcoal and replace it with new pellets,
replace the lids and load the filters back into
the unit. Press and hold the Filter light and
it will go out.

SELF-CLEANING FUNCTION

1. Fill the waste bucket with water up to one-

thirds full, close the lid and press the Clean
button. Water will be automatically heated
and circulated to clean the bucket.

2. Once cleaning is finished and appliance

beeps, allow the bucket to cool before
emptying the water.

3. If the composter lid is opened midway

through operation, it will stop running and
both displays will show OPEN. Close the lid
to resume running.

4. Once complete allow to cool completely and
wipe dry with a tea towel or dry cloth. Do not
use soap during this process. Do not use
abrasive scourers as it will damage the
non-stick ceramic coating on the inside
of the bucket.

5. Wipe the outer body, inside of lid and filter
regularly with a damp cloth. Keeping the
filter clean allows for more efficient odour
filtration.
Caution: Do NOT submerge appliance
in water.

6. After cleaning, allow to dry completely and
store appliance in a clean, dry and well­ventilated area.
Note: The self-cleaning feature can be used
to remove any food residue that sticks to the
bottom of the bucket after composting.

MANUAL CLEANING AND STORAGE
