Connect the power cord&#xA0;to a wall outlet.5. Add the full Compost Starter 1.0 pack &#x2014; Pour the entire contents evenly into the chamber. Do not use a partial pack.6. Add water &#x2014; Pour approx. 1.8L (4 lbs) evenly over the microbes.7. Close the lid and power on &#x2014; The heating element activates immediately, but the chamber takes 2&#x2013;3 hours to warm up. Wait 3&#x2013;6 hours after powering on before adding food. <h3 id="isPasted">&#x26A0;Important Notes</h3><ul><li style="font-size: 18px;">Prefer an open, well-ventilated space. If installing in a cabinet, ensure adequate airflow and place a tray/mat underneath to protect against moisture.</li><li style="font-size: 18px;">Use the entire microbe pack at once &#x2014; partial use causes an insufficient colony, leading to odors or decomposition issues.</li><li style="font-size: 18px;">No tools or technicians needed; setup is user-installable.</li><li style="font-size: 18px;">Keep the unit powered on at all times during normal use. Powering off drops internal temperature and sends microbes into a dormant (spore) state, halting decomposition. See: &#x1F449; Daily Use &amp; Maintenance &#x2014; Vacation Mode: Preparing for Absence </li></ul> <h3 id="isPasted">What to Do Next</h3>Once the 3&#x2013;6 hour activation period has passed, proceed to microbe care and your first food input
