Features
SAGE FOODCYCLER
Your Sage FoodCycler transforms your
household food waste into nutrient rich
EcoChips™, using an intuitive three stage
cycle. The FoodCycler pulverizes and
dehydrates nearly all types of food waste.
Agitators turn inside the grinding bucket,
reducing food waste to small particles, while
simultaneously the FoodCycler aerates and
heats the bucket content, decomposing and
sterilising the food waste.
Stage 1- Drying
Dehydrates household food waste
Stage 2- Grinding
Grinds food waste down by over 80% of the
original volume**
Stage 3- Cooling
Cools down the remaining EcoChips™ for
safe disposal
** The volume of the bucket contents may be reduced by
over 80% depending on the amount and moisture content
of the food scraps being processed.
The FoodCycler comes equipped with the
following items:
Removable, porcelain-coated
aluminium bucket
The grinding bucket is designed to fully
grind and process food waste, with perfectly
calibrated resistance and strength testing.

13
Filter Air Guides
Two small air guide covers sit on top of
the carbon lters, ensuring that the air and
water vapour is properly directed toward the
FoodCycler vents.
Locking Lid
Seamless design, slides and locks smoothly
into place prior to every cycle to help insulate
sound, reduce odours, and ensuring a safe,
reliable cycle. Removing the lid will pause
operation.
Each one of these parts forms the complete
FoodCycler system.
BEFORE FIRST USE
IMPORTANT
Ensure all packaging is removed from the
FoodCycler, EcoFilters and lter air guides
before using.
• Remove and safely discard any
packaging material or promotional labels

the two activated carbon EcoFilters that
come tted in the FoodCycler and ensure
that the lters and lter air guides are in
place before rst use.
• Follow the direction found in Replacing the
Filters on page 17.
IMPORTANT
Failure to remove the stickers located at the
top of each of the lters before rst use may
impede air ow and cause the FoodCycler to
fail to operate properly.
• Select a at, level and dry location for the

15
IMPORTANT
The FoodCycler is designed for processing
household FOOD WASTE only. Do not add
non-food waste to the FoodCycler.
The FoodCycler can handle organic
materials that traditional composters can’t
and performs best when fed a wide variety
of foods.
To ensure optimal food waste breakdown,
mix food waste together, with heavier foods
interspersed with lighter, dryer foods.
Avoid high concentrations
of the following foods:
• starches (bread, cake, rice, pasta,
mashed potatoes, stung)
• citrus fruit rinds
• condiments, dressings, sauces & soups
• nut butters
• jam, jellies, marmalades
• high sugar fruits (grapes, cherries, melon,
oranges, bananas, etc.)
• meat, dairy and eggshells- sour creams,
yogurts, spoiled milk.
• The dense, starchy and/or moisture-rich
composition of these foods make them
dicult to process in large quantities.
IMPORTANT
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. Be sure to cut up long
food waste such as corn cobs, corn husks,
etc. into smaller pieces as these items are
highly brous and may cause a jam if left
whole.
IMPORTANT
Always ensure that no food waste
falls outside of the bucket and into the
FoodCycler.
This may cause damage to the motor and
other internal components.You should
remove the bucket from the FoodCycler
prior to adding food waste. You can keep the
bucket on your kitchen benchtop and ll with
food waste
throughout the day/week until you are ready
to start a cycle by using the carbon ltered
bucket lid.
IMPORTANT
Do not overll your bucket.
The bucket comes with a full line (approx. 2
Litres capacity) inside along the interior of
the bucket. Do not add food waste above this
line. Do not pack down food waste to keep it
beneath the full line once full. Overlling the
bucket might cause the FoodCycler to jam
and not process.
1. Replace the lled bucket into the
FoodCycler by sliding the bucket straight
into the cavity. The arrow on the bucket
rim should line up with the arrow on the
interior of the FoodCycler cavity. This will
engage the interlock on the FoodCycler
and the bucket gears.
2. Replace the FoodCycler lid by inserting
it into the top of the FoodCycler over
the bucket. Turn the lid clockwise until
the arrow on the lid aligns with the lock
symbol picture on the top part of the
FoodCycler.

16
NOTE
The FoodCycler will not operate without
locking the lid properly in position.
1. Plug the power plug into a 220V or 240V
power outlet and turn the outlet on.
2. Press the Power On/O button once to
turn the FoodCycler on to Ready mode
and the fan is running in low speed.The
light will illuminate.
3. Press the Power button again and the
3-stage cycling will start with a green light
illuminating against each cycle.
4. The FoodCycler will transition through
3 cycles – drying, grinding and cooling
- then beep once when all cycles are
complete and revert to Standby mode. All
lights turn o and the FoodCycler shuts
o. To turn the FoodCycler o manually,
press and hold the Power On/O button
for 3 seconds. Turn o at the power outlet
and unplug before opening the lid and
removing the bucket.
Pause Feature
If you nd that you have more waste to add to
your cycle while the FoodCycler is running,
you can use your FoodCycler’s Pause feature.
Pause feature should only be performed
during drying cycle, otherwise the new food
scraps will not be processed properly. Pausing
the FoodCycler to add more food scraps will
impact the accuracy of the cycle time, which
will extend the overall cycle period (though the
cycle will never last longer than 8 hours).
The EcoChips may not be fully processed
by the end of the cycle. In this case, you may
want to run the FoodCycler a second time to
completely dehydrate the bucket contents.
To Pause the FoodCycler, press the Power
On/O button once or open the lid while the
unit is processing. Pressing the Power On/O
button once again after locking the lid back in
place will resume processing.
IMPORTANT
If the FoodCycler is overloaded or operated
continuously for too long, the safety cut-out
switch will stop the FoodCycler to prevent the
motor from overheating. If this occurs, switch
the FoodCycler o, unplug from the power
outlet and allow to cool for approximately 30
minutes. Once the motor has fully cooled, it is
ready for use again. If overheating is caused
by the bucket being overlled, remove some
of the food waste and process in smaller
batches.

Care, Cleaning
& Storage
Keeping your FoodCycler clean will help
ensure that your FoodCycler performs
cleanly and eciently. Both the exterior of the
FoodCycler and the removable bucket should
be cleaned regularly.
NOTE
Before starting to operate your FoodCycler for
each time, clean the bottom of the grinding
bucket and the surface of the heating plate
using a clean and dry cloth.
Follow the directions below to keep your
FoodCycler looking (and working) at its best.
Always ensure the FoodCycler is turned o,
switched o at the power outlet and unplugged
and allow the FoodCycler to cool before
performing any cleaning or lter replacement.
Cleaning the outside of the FoodCycler
WARNING
DO NOT immerse your FoodCycler in water.
This will damage your FoodCycler beyond
repair and might cause electric shock. Exterior,
cosmetic cleaning only!
NOTE
Use a clean, dry cloth to clean external
surface, internal surface and heating plate
surface of the FoodCycler. With particularly
stubborn grime, you can add a small amount
of dish soap to your damp dish cloth before
thoroughly wringing out most of the moisture.
NOTE
Exposure to cooking oils and cleaning
chemicals may cause colour fading and
discolouration to the FoodCycler. If the
FoodCycler is exposed to oils or chemicals,
turn o and unplug the appliance and use a
damp cloth to clean the external surface of
the FoodCycler. Dry thoroughly using a dry,
lint-free cloth or paper towel to remove all
moisture before use.
DO NOT use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
harsh cleaners, etc. on and/or in the
FoodCycler while cleaning as they will
damage the FoodCycler.
NEVER use alcohol or other solvents on this
FoodCycler.
Cleaning the Grinding Bucket
The grinding bucket is made from tough
aluminium with a protective porcelain
coating, making your bucket dishwasher
friendly for ultimate convenience.
Allow your bucket to cool before handling or
placing it back in your FoodCycler.
1. Remove bucket.
2. Remove all blockages and loose particles
from grinding bucket.
3. Place bucket in lower rack of dishwasher.
If you nd that the bucket contains a residue
from the previous cycle and you would like to
remove it, you can run a cycle with only citrus
rinds (lemons, orange, etc.).The citrus peels
will help clear any residue or caked-on food
waste.
If a jam occurs and you cannot remove the
blockage manually, soak the bucket overnight
in warm water (soap optional). Avoid using
metal tools or metal wire brushes to clear out
the blockage.
You can also hand wash your bucket using
warm water, a small amount of dish soap
and a dish cloth. Scrub around and beneath
the agitators as much as possible to clean all
available surfaces.
