Full details

Its key benefit is hands-free operation via a motion sensor, reducing contact with surfaces and minimizing kitchen interruptions.

Troubleshooting
Sensor not opening the lid
Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient power. Check that your hand is within the 20 cm activation range and directly in front of the sensor.
Lid closing too quickly or not at all
Check for any obstructions around the lid mechanism or sensor area. Ensure batteries are functional. If the issue persists, try removing and reinserting the batteries.
Bin is noisy during operation
Ensure the lid is properly aligned and not obstructed. Check that the soft-close mechanism is free from debris. If the noise is mechanical, contact customer support.
Fingerprints or smudges are visible
Wipe the stainless steel surface with a soft, damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth. Use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel if needed.
