FAQs

What type of bin liners should I use with the Totem Max 40L?

For the best fit and appearance, we recommend using Joseph Joseph custom-fit liners: IW2 for the top 20-litre compartment and IW7 for the bottom 20-litre compartment. Standard 20-litre bin liners can also be used, secured with the built-in retaining holes and hooks.

How often should I change the activated carbon odour filter?

The activated carbon odour filter should be replaced approximately every three months to maintain optimal odor control. If you notice odors returning sooner, you may need to replace it more frequently depending on your waste habits.

Can the 3-litre food waste caddy go in the dishwasher?

Info needed: [Please refer to your product manual for specific dishwasher safety instructions. Typically, plastic components are top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for longevity.]

How do I clean the exterior of the Joseph Joseph Totem Max bin?

Wipe the powder-coated steel exterior with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Is the Totem Max suitable for small kitchens?

Yes, its unique vertical design is specifically engineered to maximize capacity while occupying a minimal floor footprint, making it an excellent choice for smaller kitchens or areas where space is at a premium.

Where can I purchase replacement odour filters and custom liners?

Replacement odour filters and custom-fit liners (IW2 and IW7) can be purchased from authorized Joseph Joseph retailers or directly from the Joseph Joseph website.

Troubleshooting

Unpleasant odors persist despite the odour filter.

Check the activated carbon filter's age; it needs replacement every 3 months. Ensure the main lid is fully closed. Also, thoroughly clean the inner buckets and the caddy, as residual waste can cause smells.

Bin liners keep slipping down into the compartments.

Ensure you are using the liner retaining holes or carrier bag hooks to secure your bin bags. For the best fit, consider using Joseph Joseph custom-fit liners (IW2 for top, IW7 for bottom), which are designed to prevent slippage.

The food waste caddy lid doesn't close properly.

Inspect the rim of the caddy and the lid for any food debris or blockages that might be preventing a tight seal. Clean any obstructions. Check for any physical damage to the lid or hinges.

One of the inner buckets is difficult to remove or insert.

Ensure no waste or debris is wedged between the bucket and the main unit's housing. Try lifting the bucket straight up. If re-inserting, align it carefully with the compartment's shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
  2. Insert Odour Filter: Locate the slot on the underside of the main lid and insert the provided activated carbon filter. Ensure it is securely in place.
  3. Place Inner Buckets: Position the two 20-litre inner buckets into their respective compartments within the main unit.
  4. Install Liners: Drape the provided IW2 (for the top compartment) and IW7 (for the bottom compartment) custom-fit liners into their buckets. Use the liner retaining holes or carrier bag hooks to secure them. Alternatively, you can use standard bin liners.
  5. Position Food Waste Caddy: Decide whether to store the 3-litre food waste caddy inside one of the main compartments or place it on your countertop for convenient access.

Compatibility

  • Liners: The Totem Max is designed to work optimally with Joseph Joseph's custom-fit IW2 (top compartment) and IW7 (bottom compartment) liners for a snug fit and clean look. However, standard 20-litre liners can also be used; utilize the retaining holes and hooks to prevent slippage.
  • Food Waste Caddy: The caddy is compatible with small compostable liners if desired, or can be used unlined and washed regularly.

Care

  • Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the powder-coated steel exterior regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers that could damage the finish. Dry thoroughly.
  • Inner Buckets: The removable inner buckets should be washed periodically with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before re-inserting.
  • Odour Filter: Replace the activated carbon filter approximately every three months, or sooner if you notice odors returning. Replacement filters are available separately. ![Odour Filter Replacement](#)
  • Food Waste Caddy: Clean the food waste caddy regularly, especially if used unlined. It can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water. Info needed: [If dishwasher safe?]
