FAQS
View AllVego Mode is designed as a continuous composting mode. Despite the completion of the pre-composting cycle, we continue to provide temperature control, ventilation, and occasional agitation to maintain optimal composting conditions within the bucket. This ensures a continuous composting process and prevents the Vego Meal from molding. If left uninterrupted, this process can last for up to 10 days before the device enters final standby mode.
A general rule of thumb is that the moisture level should be that of a well squeezed sponge. However, due to variations in moisture content of different kitchen waste, if you find your output too wet, we recommend starting a new cycle.

Cleaning your Vego Composter
To maintain and upkeep your composter, it is important to keep it clean. We recommend cleaning the exterior of your device once a month or as frequently as your other kitchen appliances. To ensure optimal performance, clean your inner bucket every time it is emptied.
●Unplug the power cord before cleaning.
●Please use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces of the Vego Composter, including detachable parts such as the lid, inner bucket surface, and carbon filter box. If heavily soiled, you may use a small amount of dish soap. After cleaning, ensure to dry the surfaces thoroughly.
●Do not submerge your device in water as it contains electrical components that could be damaged by water and may cause electric shock.
Cleaning your bucket
Different types of kitchen waste may leave residue on the inner walls or blades. After cleaning out the Vego Meal, you can remove the residue as follows:
●Quickly clean the inner surface and any food residue using a brush and soap.
●For stubborn residue, add water to the waterline inside the bucket, cover with the lid, and activate Clean Mode. After the mode ends, pour out the dirty water and wipe clean.
●The inner bucket is dishwasher safe. Run a hot cycle, and after it completes, allow the bucket to cool before placing it back in the machine.
●Ensure the inner bucket is dry and cool before reinserting it into the device.
The Carbon Filter Refill Kit
The Carbon Filter Kit helps absorb odors produced during the composting process. You need to replace this periodically. Your device will notify you when it's time to replace the filter, or you can replace it every three months or whenever you notice strong odors.
