Oklin food organics composter uses an organic starter material to safely and cleanly decompose food waste within 24 hours. It uses no chemicals or harmful products, and can process up to 4kg of food waste per day. The heating, agitation and airflow applied automatically by the unit assist the naturally occurring microbes contained in the starter material to compost food waste.
How To Use The Food Waste Composter:
• Ensure the unit is plugged in and switched on at the wall.
• Simply open the lid, pour the food in, and close the lid again. You can do this whenever and as often as you wish. You do not need to wait for food to finish composting before topping up.
• Once the lid is closed, the unit will automatically continue operation. Over time, the paddles will rotate, the unit will heat up, and the fan will operate automatically to help accelerate the composting process. The unit may emit steam during this time when the lid is opened.
Basically you can compost anything that you can eat, cooked or raw, including:
• Meat and fish
• Small bones such as fish and chicken bones
• Fruit and vegetables
• Egg shells and most seafood shells such as lobster and mussel shells
• Bread, crackers, grain foods
• Fast foods
• Dairy foods
To obtain optimum results chop up larger pieces of food to allow the food to compost more quickly.
Compost can be stored in plastic or nylon bags, in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, for up to 2–3 years. Ensure the compost is free of excess moisture before placing into bags.
