How do I prepare soilkind for shipping?
When you receive your return packaging, please ensure that it is undamaged and has not been damaged by moisture to ensure a smooth return process.

01
Before you take soilkind on your journey, please ensure you have performed the ejection process twice to empty all chambers. If you can no longer activate the ejection process, remove any remaining organic waste from the upper chamber and clean the removable parts (lid, funnel, lint filter) under running water.

02
Remove the water tank, empty it and activate the transport lock by pushing the transport lock lever counterclockwise down into a vertical position.

03
To keep the transport lock in this vertical position, slide the cardboard protection (C) into the position of the water tank.

04
Unplug the power cord to turn off soilkind and make sure the compost bin has been emptied.

05
Apply the enclosed adhesive strip (E) to the lid and side panels.
