Troubleshooting
Bin lid does not close properly
Ensure there are no obstructions inside the bin or on the rim. Check that the lid is correctly aligned with the bin body.
Wheels are stiff or difficult to turn
Inspect the wheel axles for dirt, debris, or damage. Clean the wheels and axles thoroughly. If damage is present, contact customer support.
Unpleasant odours persist
Empty the bin regularly. Clean the interior with a disinfectant solution and rinse thoroughly. Consider using bin liners or adding odour-absorbing materials like baking soda.
Bin material appears faded or brittle
While UV-stabilized, extreme or prolonged direct sunlight can eventually affect any plastic. Ensure the bin is positioned in a location that offers some shade if possible, or consider using a UV-protective cover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care:
To maintain hygiene and longevity:

- Check the wheels periodically for any debris that might impede movement. Clean them as needed.
