NOTE
The FoodCycler will not operate without
locking the lid properly in position.
1. Plug the power plug into a 220V or 240V
power outlet and turn the outlet on.
2. Press the Power On/Off button once to
turn the FoodCycler on to Ready mode
and the fan is running in low speed. The
light will illuminate.
3. Press the Power button again and the
3-stage cycling will start with a green light
illuminating against each cycle.
4. The FoodCycler will transition through
3 cycles – drying, grinding and cooling
- then beep once when all cycles are
complete and revert to Standby mode. All
lights turn off and the FoodCycler shuts
off. To turn the FoodCycler off manually,
press and hold the Power On/Off button
for 3 seconds. Turn off at the power outlet

Pause Feature
If you find that you have more waste to add to
your cycle while the FoodCycler is running,
you can use your FoodCycler's Pause feature.
Pause feature should only be performed
during drying cycle, otherwise the new food
scraps will not be processed properly. Pausing
the FoodCycler to add more food scraps will
impact the accuracy of the cycle time, which
will extend the overall cycle period (though the
cycle will never last longer than 8 hours).
The EcoChips may not be fully processed
by the end of the cycle. In this case, you may
want to run the FoodCycler a second time to
completely dehydrate the bucket contents.
To Pause the FoodCycler, press the Power
On/Off button once or open the lid while the
unit is processing. Pressing the Power On/Off
button once again after locking the lid back in
place will resume processing.
IMPORTANT
If the FoodCycler is overloaded or operated
continuously for too long, the safety cut-out
switch will stop the FoodCycler to prevent the
motor from overheating. If this occurs, switch
the FoodCycler off, unplug from the power
outlet and allow to cool for approximately 30
minutes. Once the motor has fully cooled, it is
ready for use again. If overheating is caused
by the bucket being overfilled, remove some
of the food waste and process in smaller
batches.
