5. What can I do with the recycled food compound?
The recycled food compound can be used as a soil amendment, or homemade fertilizer. For best results, we recommend adding the
recycled food compound to the soil at a ratio of 1 part fertilizer to 10 parts soil. For cycles with an abundance of animal protein (meat,
dairy, etc.), we recommend increasing the ratio to 1:15. It is recommended to wait a minimum of one week (4 weeks for best results)
following soil application before planting seeds or transplanting plants to the newly fertilized soil. The healthier your food waste, the
healthier your garden. Foods high in fat, oil, sodium or sugar may not produce optimal results.
Do not add the recycled food compound directly to the soil surface. This will not feed the soil suciently, and the recycled food com-
pound will absorb moisture, which will increase the likelihood that your soil amendment will mold and/or attract unwanted pests to your
yard or garden.
You can also dispose of the recycled food compound in your green bin or garbage can (check your local restrictions). Adding the
recycled food compound to your household trash is still preferable to throwing the unprocessed food waste, as the recycled food com-
pound will take up less space in landfills and will generate fewer transport emissions once collected.
6. How do I extend the life of my Filters?
The filter indicator is to remind you to replace your filters every 3-6 months (depending on use) or approximately 500 cycle hours
(whichever comes first). The Change Filter Indicator is a recommendation, however the best indicator of your unit filters is the cycle
odor. The filter life depends on the quality and quantity of the use of the unit.
Running a cycle with only citrus rinds (lemons, oranges, etc.), will help mitigate filter odors.
It is recommended that you shut down and unplug the FoodCycler food recycler before leaving your home for an extended period of
time. Leaving the unit in Active mode (Start button illuminated) will consume the life of the Filter.
Including coee grounds in your regular cycles can help mitigate odors and can also help to keep your Bucket clean.
7. How do I keep my Bucket clean?
The FoodCycler food recycler Bucket is designed to self-clean with every cycle. It is normal to have a residue in the base and sides of
the Bucket after some cycles. Simply empty the contents of the finished cycle, ensuring the internal grinding arm can fully rotate, and
fill the Bucket for the next cycle. If a jam occurs and you are not able to rotate the internal grinding arm, remove the contents and man-
ually soak the Bucket with boiling water and mild soap overnight, to loosen the blockage.
8. I’m hearing “clunking”/squeaking sounds during my cycle - is this normal?
Noises during the cycle are perfectly normal. While the majority of cycles are quiet, particularly dense, fibrous or moisture-rich food
wastes in a cycle can cause the Bucket to make sounds as it processes food waste.
9. What happens if the unit is unplugged, or a circuit is tripped during the cycle?
The FoodCycler food recycler is designed to continue running from the point in the cycle at which it was operating prior to the loss
of power (including events such as unplugging the power cord or a tripped circuit). If 1-2 hours have passed since the unit lost power
mid-cycle, we suggest you reset the cycle by turning the unit o (by pressing and holding the Power button for upwards of 3 seconds)
and pressing the Power button again to start a new cycle.
