WasteCycler Modes
The WasteCycler has only two buttons - the "Volume" button and the "Mode" button, but you can choose
from 9 combinations to choose the processing method that suits you best.
For the “Volume” button, you could short press to choose Low, Medium and Large;
For the “Mode” button, you could short press to choose Quick, Standard and Ferment.
Quick Mode:
This mode is suitable for most odorprone kitchen food waste (do not put in degradable bioplastics).
This is the best mode for you if you just want to get rid of most of the odors and food waste in your
kitchen with low energy consumption.
Quick Mode utilizes 120°C heat sterilization to produce the final product which is dry, shredded and
pest free pre-composted material.
You can collect it at any time and add water and EM spawn for faster composting at your spare time.
Standard Mode:
In addition to food waste, this Mode can also put in all degradable bioplastic products, including
degradable plastic bags, degradable mobile phone cases, degradable coffee capsules, etc.
For more items, you can refer to the List of "What can I put in WasteCycler". This mode also can generate
environmentally friendly precompost materials, allowing bioplastics to return to nature.
Ferment Mode:
This mode accelerates the production of ready-to-use fertilizers through intelligent programming that
simulates the proper ratio and temperature required for natural fermentation.
You only need to put in green and brown materials with a reasonable carbon to nitrogen ratio (Perfect
Ratio : 4:1 brown waste to green waste) to produce fertilizer. If you want to ferment faster, you can
put in the extra purchased EM inoculum.
WasteCycler helps different types of microorganisms to multiply to the greatest extent via the
intelligent program of grinding-heating-keepingcooling, thereby decomposing the organic matter in the
garbage and turning it into fertilizer.
The fertilizer state produced in fermentation mode is half wet and half dry debris, which is very
conducive to the continuous decomposition of organic matter by microorganism.

How To Make Perfect Compost
1. Get to Know Your Greens and Browns
There are two main ingredients in any successful compost pile: carbon-rich ingredients and
nitrogen-rich ingredients.
Brown Material (high carbon content)
Fall leaves, Pine needles, Twigs, chipped tree branches/bark, Straw or hay, Sawdust,
Corn stalks, Paper ( newspaper, writing/printing paper, paper plates, napkins, and
coffee filters), Dryer lint, Cotton fabric, Corrugated cardboard (without
waxy/slick coatings), etc
Green Material (high nitrogen content)
Grass clippings, Coffee grounds/tea bags, Vegetable and fruit scraps, Trimmings from
perennial and annual plants, Annual weeds that haven't set seed, Eggshells, Animal
manures (cow, horse, sheep, chicken, rabbit, but not dog or cat manure), Seaweed,
etc
2.Striking the Right Carbon-Nitrogen Balance
The magic of composting lies in the interaction between carbon compounds (brown) and nitrogen compounds
(green). The perfect ratio of carbon to nitrogen in compost is close to 25:1 to 30:1, at the right
wet and dry level.
3.Get the Feel of Your Pile
A. If you are a home gardening enthusiast, you only need to put the daily kitchen waste into the compost
according to the volume of brown material: green material about 1:3. You can also purchase commonly
used microbial composting agents to use with them.
B. If you are a professional compost maker, you can browse relevant gardening books and websites to
obtain the carbon and nitrogen content of various materials, and use professional calculation methods
to control the results.
When the ratio is lower than ideal (too much nitrogen), the pile will be slimy and stinky; simply add
more brown materials.
When the ratio is higher than ideal (too much carbon), the pile will be dry; simply add more green
materials.
In general, carbon-rich materials should form the bulk of the pile. A good rule of
thumb is that each time you add a batch of nitrogen-rich ingredients, add roughly 4 times that amount
in carbon-rich ingredients (in volume, not weight).
What can WasteCycler's fermentation mode do for composting?
1.The intelligent low-temperature fermentation function of the WasteCycler makes the organic matter
to go through three different temperature stages, allowing microorganisms suitable for reproduction
at different temperatures to grow while killing the eggs of diseased insects.
2.Maintain the optimum humidity of 60% of the compost, which is most suitable for the rapid reproduction
of microorganisms.
3.Proper oxygen can inhibit the reproduction of anaerobic bacteria and produce foul gas.
4.Turn the compost pile frequently to distribute the microorganisms evenly throughout the compost
pile.ingredients (in volume, not weight).
Cleaning And Maintenance
For regular use, you could put the bucket directly into the dishwasher, or if you want to clean it
by hands, you just need to use the liquid detergent to do, just like our daily dishwashing.
If you do not use the WasteCycler for more than 1 month, here are the cleaning and maintenance
suggestions:
1. Rinse the bucket clean.
2. Dry the inner and outer surfaces and bottom of the bucket with a towel.
3. Put the bucket into the machine.then close the lid.
4. Plug in the power and press the “Mode” button three time continuously to enter the Drying Mode
for 30mins.

Frequently Asked Questions
1.Why don't the blades of the machine turn all the time?
This is completely normal. Through hundreds of thousands of tests, the laboratory has finally designed
and determined the intelligent program of heating-grinding-holding-cooling. By programming separate
or intersecting heating and grinding jobs at different stages of operation, we can save enormous amounts
of electricity.
2.Should I add the extra purchased EM bacteria? At what stage should we add into it?
The composition of EM bacteria is some dormant beneficial microorganisms, which can help the
fermentation process to proceed faster. Since the kitchen and garden waste you compost itself contains
many microorganisms, when your added material achieves the perfect carbon-nitrogen ratio, EM bacteria
can be omitted. However, since the daily garbage generated by each household is not fixed, we still
recommend that you add EM bacteria before using the fermentation model which will greatly speeds up
the efficiency and success of composting.
3.How can I know if the fertilizer is too dry or too wet?
This is the original intention of our design of WasteCycler - a visual waste composter. Due to the
different types, weights and moisture content of kitchen waste generated by each household, it is
difficult for us to set a consistent program to achieve everyone's expectations for the dry and wet
state of fertilizers. You can stop the machine at any time when you observe that the fertilizer has
reached the desired chip and dry moisture.
4.How do I apply WasteCycler's fertilizer to my garden plants?
We recommend that you mix fertilizer to soil at a ratio of 1:10, then bury it under the plant, and
water it appropriately.
5.Can WasteCycler sit with unprocessed waste for a few days while I fifilll it? Will that smell?
We only recommend leaving it for a day, especially in hot weather, as it can grow bacteria and develop
odors if left untreated. When the WasteCycler is not running, the filter odor control is not activated,
so you may smell it.
