1. Remove the back panel.
• Grip
the plastic tab (with the arrow) at the top of the back
panel. Pull down gently on the tab to release the back
panel from the unit.
2. Remove the white stickers from the top of each carbon filter.
3. Open the lid.
• Grip the lid handle and rotate counterclockwise until the
arrow on the lid is lined up with the unlock symbol ( ).
Lift up on the lid to remove.
4. Remove the filter caps from inside the bucket.
5. Remove the sticker on the vent on the inside of the bucket
compartment.
6. Install a filter cap onto each filter.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the filter cap and discard.
Secure each cap. To do so, place the circle-shaped opening
on the top of the filter, ensuring the half-moon shaped
opening faces towards the back panel (when it is installed).
7. Replace the back panel.
• Place the back panel so that the two bottom tabs fit into
the grooves lining the bottom of the unit’s back cavity.
Push the back panel into the unit’s back cavity until the
panel’s tab fits into place in the unit’s back cavity. If the
sides of the panel do not sit flush against the unit’s back
cavity press against the non-flush panel sections with your
thumb or fingers until it snaps flush to the unit.
8. Remove the bucket.
• Remove and discard the max fill sticker from the inside wall
of the bucket.
• Grip the metal handle and pull straight up.
The bucket should slide out easily.
9. Add food waste to the bucket.
• DO NOT add food waste directly into the machine
without the bucket installed in the FoodCycler. The
bucket doesn’t have to be installed in the unit to fill
with food waste.
• You can add food waste to the bucket throughout
the day, until the bucket is full. Do NOT fill the bucket
above the max fill line.
• 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
(the dense, starchy and/or moisture-rich composition
of these foods make them dicult to process in large
quantities.):
» starches (bread, cake, rice, pasta, mashed potatoes,
stung)
» citrus fruit rinds
» condiments, dressings, sauces & soups
» nut butters
» jam, jellies, marmalades
» high sugar fruits (grapes, cherries, melon, oranges,
bananas, etc)
• DO NOT cycle large bones (such as pork or beef bones),
pits, candy, gum, nuts or hard shells: these materials may
cause serious damage to the bucket, and/or cause a motor
overload.
• DO NOT add oil, flammable materials or compounds, or
water to the FoodCycler.
• When the bucket is not in use and you are adding food
waste, use the collection lid to reduce the amount of o-
putting smells.
