Note: make sure to cut up to big food/rigid stems/fibrous vegetables (e.g. corn/corn husk, flower stems,

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.
