Closed Loop CLOey, Operating Manual

Page: 9 / 16

Switching Off CLO’ey
CLO’ey is designed for continual use and does not need to be switched off unless being left for an
extended period of time.
When composting is complete, the unit will automatically switch to power save mode.
In this mode, the paddles will operate from time to time to ensure that the compost does not harden.
If the unit is switched off at the wall, and the paddles are not operating, it is possible that the compost
will harden. This may cause damage to the unit and prevent further use.
If the unit is being left unused for an extended period of time and you wish to turn the
power off, please follow these precautions:
• Ensure no un-composted food is evident.
• Ensure at least 24 hours has passed since
the last amount of food waste was loaded.
• Remove all compost from the machine.
• Reserve a *minimum amount in an airtight
plastic container.
*The minimum amount (10 litres) is the volume between
the horizontal paddle shaft and the bottom of the tank.
