Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is simple: remove the packaging and place the caddy on a flat, stable kitchen surface. The caddy does not require any assembly or power connections. For care, wash the interior with warm, soapy water after every emptying to prevent organic residue buildup. Always dry the interior thoroughly before placing new compostable materials inside. Avoid soaking the caddy in water for extended periods and never place it in a dishwasher, as high heat and heavy detergents can damage the enamel coating.
