The bin fills up quickly and takes up space.
LIQUIDS AND RESIDUES

FREQUENT DISPOSAL
Collecting and disposing of waste takes time and organisation.

The result depends on the type of food waste, for example:
- cooked fish and vegetables, in powder form
- fresh vegetables, small cereal-like particles
- starchy foods (e.g. rice, rice cakes), granules
The final form varies depending on the food waste processed; it may not always be in powder form
Dispose of the dried waste in a food waste bag or bin.
Even when completely dried, the processed material is classified as food waste
under current regulations.
As the waste is reduced to one-tenth of its original size and produces a
minimal odour, it can be collected in a separate bin.

Pay attention to the composition. Some foods with a high acid content may damage certain types of plants.
Yes, you can add more food waste whilst the machine is running.
However, if the door is opened whilst the machine is running, the cycle will restart from the beginning and the drying time will be reset according to the moisture content of the food waste added.
