Cleaning  

  

To  clean  the  Organic  Food  Composter:  

  

Turn  the  unit  off  and  unplug  from  electrical  outlet  before  cleaning.  

  

Scrape  excess  residue  from  the  inside  tank  walls  using  a  plastic  scraper  or  spatula.  

  

Do  not  remove  compost  from  below  the  minimum  level  of  the  horizontal  paddle  shaft.  

  

Use  soapy  water  and  a  damp  cloth  to  wash  down  the  outside.  Do  not  use  flammable  or  
combustible  liquids,  such  as  gasoline,  benzene,  acetone  or  paint  thinner  to  clean  the  
machine.  

  
Checking  The  Hose  

It  is  advisable  to  occasionally  check  that  the  exhaust  hose  is  clear  to  allow  composting  vapours  

(mainly  water  vapour  and  carbon  dioxide)  to  vent  to  the  outside.  

  

Turn  the  unit  off  and  unplug  from  electrical  outlet.  

  

Open  the  lid  and  clean  the  exhaust  vent  with  a  brush.  

  

Check  that  the  cap  is  not  blocked  by  residue,  lint  or  spider  webs.  

  

If  possible,  check  that  the  hose  is  clear  along  its  length.
