FAQs

Does the bin come with batteries?

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

Is the bin waterproof?

It has an IPX4 splash-resistant rating, meaning it can withstand accidental splashes but should not be submerged in water.

Can I use standard bin bags?

Yes, standard bin bags work well, and the bin includes 15 starter bags to get you started.

How do I clean the sensor?

Gently wipe the sensor area with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints.

Is the lid noisy?

No, the lid features a soft-close mechanism that operates at less than 40 dB, which is very quiet.

How wide is the bin?

The dimensions are 42.5 x 27.1 x 58.7 cm.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not open automatically

Check that the batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted. Ensure there is no debris blocking the sensor.

Lid closes too quickly

The lid is designed to close after 5 seconds automatically. For longer tasks, use the manual button to keep the lid open.

Bin liner slips inside

Ensure the bag is tucked securely into the integrated bag retainer ring inside the rim of the bin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Touchless operation improves kitchen hygiene
  • Soft-close lid prevents noise disturbance
  • Rust-resistant stainless steel is easy to maintain
  • Includes a starter pack of 15 bin bags
  • Splash-resistant design suitable for busy kitchens

Cons

  • Requires 4 AA batteries which are not included

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the bin is straightforward: insert 4 AA batteries into the designated compartment beneath the lid. Once powered, position the bin at least 15 cm away from walls to ensure the sensor functions correctly without interference. For cleaning, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can scratch the stainless steel finish. A soft, damp microfiber cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning the body and the lid sensor area. Always ensure the internal retainer ring is properly seated to prevent bag slippage.
