FAQs
Does this caddy come with bags?
This product is the caddy container only; you will need to purchase standard compostable liners separately.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish and structural integrity of the locking handle.
What are the exact dimensions?
The caddy measures 19.5cm in width, 13cm in length, and 20.5cm in height.
Is the material waterproof?
Yes, the caddy is designed to hold moist food waste without leaking.
Can the handle be removed?
The handle is integrated into the design to facilitate the locking mechanism and should remain attached for proper functionality.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not lock securely
Ensure the handle is pulled fully into the upright position and that no bag material is obstructing the locking hinge.
Odor escaping from the bin
Verify the lid is fully closed and consider using a deodorizing filter or emptying the bin more frequently if disposing of high-moisture waste.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Kitchen Caddy is straightforward: simply place your preferred compostable liner into the bucket, folding the edges over the rim. When you pull the handle upright to carry it to your external compost bin, the handle automatically secures the bag in place. For ongoing care, the unit is best cleaned using warm soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid using abrasive scouring pads, which could scratch the silver finish. Ensure the lid is pressed firmly to engage the locking mechanism before leaving it in place for long periods.
