FAQs
How often should I empty the compost caddy?
For optimal freshness and odor control, it is recommended to empty the caddy every 2-3 days, or when it is full. This frequency can vary based on household size and kitchen temperature.
How do I replace the carbon filters?
To replace the carbon filters, lift the lid, find the filter compartment (usually under the lid), remove the old filter, and insert a new one. Ensure it is seated properly.
Can I put this compost caddy in the dishwasher?
The stainless steel exterior should only be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The removable inner plastic liner can typically be washed with warm, soapy water, but check specific care instructions if available. It is generally not recommended to place the exterior in a dishwasher.

What material is the compost caddy made of?

Troubleshooting
Compost caddy lid not closing properly.
Ensure the inner liner is seated correctly and not obstructing the lid. Check for any food debris caught around the rim.
Odors are still noticeable.
Verify that a carbon filter is correctly installed and that it has not exceeded its effective lifespan (typically 3-6 months). Replace the filter if necessary.
Exterior is smudged or has fingerprints.
Wipe the stainless steel surface with a clean, damp microfiber cloth. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
Inner liner is difficult to remove.
Ensure no food scraps are wedged between the liner and the exterior caddy. Rinse the liner with warm water if needed.
