FAQs

Does this bin include batteries?

No, the bin requires 4 x AA batteries which must be purchased separately.

Is the stainless steel finish truly fingerprint-resistant?

Yes, the material is specifically treated to resist fingerprints, though it may still require a light wipe with a damp cloth periodically to keep it looking pristine.

How long do the batteries last?

The bin is designed to last for approximately 10,000 cycles on a single set of 4 AA batteries.

Can I operate the bin manually if the batteries die?

The sensor is the primary method of operation; if the batteries are dead, the lid may not function properly, so it is recommended to keep fresh batteries on hand.

What size bin bags should I use?

Standard 50L bin liners are recommended to ensure a proper fit with the integrated bag ring.

Troubleshooting

The lid does not open when I wave my hand.

Ensure the batteries are inserted correctly and replace them if they have been used for more than 10,000 cycles.

The lid closes too quickly or remains open.

Clean the sensor area at the top of the lid with a dry, soft cloth to remove any dust or debris blocking the infrared signal.

The bin feels unstable.

Ensure the bin is placed on a flat, level surface and that the weight of the waste is evenly distributed inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the unit, insert 4 AA batteries into the designated compartment located in the lid mechanism. Ensure the polarity is correct for optimal performance. Once powered, the bin is ready for immediate use. For optimal bag compatibility, standard bin liners that accommodate a 50L capacity are recommended; use the integrated bag ring to secure the liner tightly so the exterior remains neat. To care for the stainless steel exterior, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately to maintain the finish. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as these can damage the rust-proof coating and leave visible scratches.
