MODES
- The appliance 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 prone to odor of 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 Bio-degradable products.
- For more items, you can refer to the List of “What can I put in this appliance”. This mode also can generate environmentally friendly pre-composted materials.
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 is 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.
- This appliance helps different types of microorganisms to multiply to the greatest extent via the intelligent program of grinding-heating-keeping-cooling, 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.
- Place the machine on a level surface

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
| 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, 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 this appliance's fermentation mode do for composting?
- The intelligent low-temperature fermentation function of the appliance 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.
- Maintain the optimum humidity of 60% of the compost, which is most suitable for the rapid reproduction of microorganisms.
- Proper oxygen can inhibit the reproduction of anaerobic bacteria and produce foul gas.
- 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 appliance for more than 1 month, here are the cleaning and maintenance suggestions:
- Rinse the bucket clean

Replacing The Carbon Filter Box
The E05 error occurs when you have accumulated more than 1000 hours of usage. But it does not affect normal use for the time being. After replacing the activated carbon filter box, long press the “Mode” button for 10s to remove the E05 error.
In order to achieve better deodorization effect and according to the frequency of use in each family, we recommend that you replace the activated carbon filter box every 6 months.
