Using  Your  Food  Waste  Composter  
  

How  To  Use  The  Food  Waste  Composter  

  

  

Ensure  the  unit  is  plugged  in  and  switched  on  at  the  wall.  

  

Simply  open  the  lid,  pour  the  food  in,  and  close  the  lid  again.  You  can  do  this  whenever  

and  as  often  as  you  wish.  You  do  not  need  to  wait  for  food  to  finish  composting  before  

topping  up.  

  

Once  the  lid  is  closed,  the  unit  will  automatically  continue  operation.  Over  time,  the  

paddles  will  rotate,  the  unit  will  heat  up,  and  the  fan  will  operate  automatically  to  help  

accelerate  the  composting  process.  The  unit  may  emit  steam  during  this  time  when  the  

lid  is  opened.  

  

What  You  Can  Compost  

Basically  you  can  compost  anything  that  you  can  eat,  cooked  or  raw,  including:  

  

Meat  and  fish  

  

Small  bones  such  as  fish  and  chicken  bones  

  

Fruit  and  vegetables  

  

Egg  shells  and  most  seafood  shells  such  as  lobster  and  mussel  shells  

  

Bread,  crackers,  grain  foods  

  

Fast  foods  

  

Dairy  foods  

To  obtain  optimum  results  chop  up  larger  pieces  of  food  to  allow  the  food  to  compost  more  
quickly.  

  

  

What  You  Should  NOT  Compost  

  

Avoid  placing  hard  food  items  in  the  composter  

such  as:  

  

Large  bones  

  

Oyster  or  scallop  shells  

Do  not  compost:  

  

Waste  Cooking  Oils  

  

Waste  Cooking  Fats  

Also,  you  should  not  compost  non-­‐food  

material,  even  if  it  is  biodegradable,  such  as:  

  

Medicines  

  

Wood  (eg  chopsticks,  matches)  

  

Paper  or  cigarettes  

  

Cloth
