What type of batteries does this bin use?

This bin requires 4 x D-cell batteries, which are not included with the product.

How long does the automatic sensor stay open?

Can I use any size bin bag?

The bin is compatible with standard refuge bags. The minimum recommended size is Width 500mm x Height 450mm x Rim Diameter 1000mm.

How do I clean the bin?

Wipe the steel base and ABS plastic lid with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.

What is the guarantee period?

How do I reset the sensor to factory settings?

To perform a factory reset, remove all batteries from the compartment for a minimum of 24 hours to allow the internal components to fully discharge.

Is there an inner bucket?

No, an inner bucket is not required or supplied. The bin is designed to use bin bags directly, with an integrated retainer clip.

Troubleshooting

Lid not opening automatically.

Ensure the On/Off switch at the back of the sensor unit is turned on. Check that batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Remove and re-insert batteries to reset. Wait 10 seconds for calibration.

Sensor is too sensitive or not sensitive enough.

Ensure the sensor area is clean and free from obstructions. For sensitivity issues, try removing and re-inserting batteries to recalibrate. Ensure there are no strong light sources directly on the sensor.

Lid opens and closes intermittently.

This could be due to low battery power or interference. Replace batteries with new, quality D-cell batteries. Ensure the sensor area is clean. Try a factory reset by removing all batteries for over 24 hours.

Battery compartment feels damp.

Ensure the internal battery cover is securely closed. Wipe any moisture from the compartment with a dry cloth. Avoid placing the bin in excessively humid environments if possible.
