  IMPORTANT

CARBON FILTER BUCKET LID 

For convenience, you can store the 

FoodCycler under the bench or even outside 

of the kitchen in an accessible area of the 

house, like the laundry or garage. Keep just 

the FoodCycler bucket on your benchtop 

to accumulate your food waste hassle and 

odour-free by using with the carbon filter 

bucket lid. When full, remove the bucket 

lid before placing into the FoodCycler 

to process.
Assembling your bucket lid

1.  Place the carbon filter foam liner inside 

the bucket lid.

2.  Place the back-lid cover on top of the 

carbon filter foam liner.

3.  Ensure that all pieces are properly aligned 

within the ridge of the lid. 

4.  Place the locking screw into the centre 

hole of all the aligned lid parts.

5.  Turn locking screw clockwise until the lid 

parts are secure.

Your carbon foam lid liner should be replaced 

every 2-3 months to help reduce odours 

released from collecting food waste inside 

the grinding bucket.
•  To replace, simply remove all packaging 

from the replacement carbon lid liner and 

place inside the lid as described above.

  WARNING

The filters are not washable. Do not immerse 

any part of the filters in water as it will cause 

damage.

ECOCHIPS DISPOSAL

  NOTE

The following is a guide to EcoChips disposal 

only.
•  Country, State/Territory and individual 

council regulations regarding food waste 

disposal will vary. 

•  Check with your local council for more 

information before disposing.

There are two ways of 

disposing your EcoChips:

1.  In the General Bin
•  Refer to state/territory and
 individual 

council regulations for appropriate 

disposal.

2.  Applied in the Garden
•  If applied to your garden, EcoChips must 

be incorporated as part of the topsoil, not 

just surface applied

•  The EcoChips can be incorporated into 

soil around fruit or nut trees or vines at any 

time. Fallen produce must not be collected 

off the ground for 90 days after each 

application.

•  The EcoChips can be used in agriculture, 

home gardens and landscaping. If it is 

applied to land to grow food that comes 

into direct contact with the soil (such 

as carrots, lettuces and leafy herbs) 

consumers must wait 90 days before 

planting to minimise potential health risks.
