FAQs

How often should I replace the carbon filters?

For optimal odour control, carbon filters typically need replacing every 2-3 months, depending on how full the composter is and the types of waste stored. Check the product manual for specific recommendations.

Can I put meat or dairy scraps in this composter?

This composter is intended for fruit and vegetable waste. It is generally not recommended to compost meat, dairy, or oily foods in a kitchen composter, as they can attract pests and create odours.

Is the stainless steel rust-proof?

The stainless steel is highly resistant to rust, but prolonged exposure to certain corrosive substances or environments could potentially lead to minor surface discolouration over extended periods.

What are the exact dimensions of the composter?

The approximate dimensions are 15cm (width) x 17cm (depth) x 15cm (height).

Can I wash the composter with the filters inside?

No, the carbon filters should be removed before washing the composter, especially if you are using the dishwasher. Filters are not washable and must be replaced.

Does the composter come with starter filters?

Yes, the Kilner Kitchen Composter comes with 2 carbon filters included.

Troubleshooting

Odour despite using the composter

Ensure the carbon filters are correctly installed and have not reached their saturation point. Replace the carbon filters if they are old or have lost their effectiveness. Also, ensure the lid is securely closed.

Composter contents are excessively wet

This composter is designed for solids. If you are adding very wet materials, consider draining excess liquid before placing them inside, or layer with drier compostable materials if possible.

Difficulty closing the lid securely

Check for any obstructions around the rim or lid. Ensure the composter is not overfilled beyond its capacity.

Care:
