Using  Your  Food  Waste  Composter  

  

Breaking  Up  Compost  For  Removal  

  

It  may  be  necessary  to  break  up  dried  compost  for  ease  of  removal.  To  do  this,  open  the  lid,  then  
press  and  hold  the  Check  button  down  for  3  seconds.  This  will  operate  the  paddles.  

  

Warning:

  Keep  your  fingers  away  from  the  inside  of  the  unit  while  the  paddles  are  rotating.  As  an  

added  safety  feature,  the  paddles  only  rotate  while  the  Check  button  is  held  down.  During  this  

time,  all  4  control  panel  indicators  will  light  up,  and  the  alarm  will  sound.  

  

The  paddles  will  rotate  for  a  maximum  of  1  ½  minutes,  after  which  time  they  will  stop,  and  the  

On/Off  button  will  flash.  

  

Repeat  this  procedure  until  the  compost  can  be  easily  removed  with  the  scoop  provided.  

  

Removing  Compost  

  

You  should  never  completely  empty  your  Organic  Composting  Unit.  If  you  do  completely  

empty  the  unit,  you  will  remove  all  vital  microbes,  and  prevent  the  unit  from  working.  

  

When  the  composted  waste  level  reaches  the  MAX  indicator  line,  do  not  put  any  new  

waste  in,  and  do  not  remove  any  compost  for  24  hours.  This  will  allow  all  food  material  to  

complete  the  cycle.  

  

Turn  the  unit  off,  and  unplug  the  unit  from  the  wall.  

  

Scoop  part  of  the  composted  material  out,  down  to  the  horizontal  

  

paddle  shaft.  

  

You  may  now  continue  adding  food  waste.  

  

Important:

  Ensure  that  enough  material  is  left  in  the  tank  to  

keep  the  paddle  shaft  covered.  NEVER  remove  compost  below  

the  horizontal  paddle  shaft.  This  amount  of  compost  remaining  

in  the  tank  is  essential  for  the  unit  to  continue  operation.
