4. Setup

1. Unpack the Composter: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Place the Carbon Filter: Locate the filter compartment, typically at the back or top of the unit. Insert the carbon filter as indicated in the diagram (refer to the product manual for specific placement).
3. Add Compost Starter: Open the composter lid. Pour the entire compost starter pack into the main chamber. This starter contains the necessary microbes for the decomposition process.
4. Add Water (Initial Activation): Add approximately 1 liter of water to the chamber with the compost starter. This activates the microbes.
5. Power On: Plug the composter into a standard electrical outlet. The unit will begin its initial mixing and heating cycle to prepare the microbes.

5. Operation

5.1 Adding Food Waste

The Reencle Prime can process up to 2.2 lbs (approximately 1 kg) of food waste daily. Open the lid and add your food scraps directly into the chamber. The composter will automatically detect the addition and adjust its cycle.

5.3 Decomposition Process

The composter utilizes aerobic composting, where microbes break down food scraps. This process typically transforms 2.2 lbs of food scraps into nutrient-rich fertilizer within 2-24 hours, reducing waste volume by up to 90%.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Carbon Filter Replacement

The carbon filter is crucial for odor-free operation. It should be replaced approximately every 9-12 months, depending on usage. Refer to the product manual for specific instructions on accessing and replacing the filter.

6.2 Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal performance and prevents odors. Unplug the unit before cleaning. Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the unit in water.

6.3 Emptying Compost

The finished compost can be emptied every 1-3 months, depending on usage. Use the provided shovel to remove the compost. The resulting material is suitable for lawns, gardens, potted plants, starting seeds, and tree beds.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Reencle Prime Electric Composter.

• Unpleasant Odor: If an odor is detected, check the carbon filter. It may need replacement or the air filter area might require cleaning. Ensure only recommended food waste is being added.
• Slow Decomposition: This can occur if too much liquid or dense material is added. Reduce the amount of wet waste and ensure the microbes are active (add a small amount of water if the compost appears too dry).
• Unit Not Starting: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional outlet. Check if the lid is properly closed, as some units have safety interlocks.
