Troubleshooting
Lid does not open automatically
Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient power. Check that the sensor is clean and unobstructed. Test by holding your hand directly over the sensor for a few seconds.
Lid closes too quickly or too slowly
This is usually a function of the mechanism and not adjustable. Ensure the bin is on a stable surface. If consistently problematic, check battery levels.
Lid opens unexpectedly
Ensure nothing is placed within the 15 cm sensor range when not intended. Relocate the bin if it's in a high-traffic area or near vents that might trigger the sensor.
Bin body is smudged or dirty
Wipe the brushed stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild cleaner for tougher spots and dry immediately to prevent water marks.
