FAQs

How do I activate the manual stay-open mode?

Press the 'OPEN' button located near the sensor to keep the lid open. Press it again to close the lid or let the sensor close it automatically after a period.

What type of batteries does this bin use?

The bin requires 4 AA batteries, which are not included with the purchase.

How often should I replace the activated carbon filter?

Replacement frequency depends on usage. It is generally recommended to replace the filter every 3-6 months for optimal odor control. Refer to the product manual for specific guidance.

Can I use this bin outdoors?

This bin is designed for indoor use, primarily in kitchens, offices, or similar environments. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the electronic components.

How do I clean the sensor area?

Gently wipe the sensor area with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the sensor unit in water.

Is there an inner bucket?

No, this model does not have a separate inner bucket. It uses a retainer ring to keep the trash bag securely in place.

Troubleshooting

Sensor not opening the lid

Ensure batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Check that the sensor eye is clean and unobstructed. Verify you are within the 15-20 cm detection range.

Lid closes too quickly

Use the manual stay-open button for longer periods of disposal. If the issue persists in automatic mode, check battery strength.

Odor control seems ineffective

Ensure the activated carbon filter is properly installed. The filter may need replacement if it is old or saturated. Ensure the lid closes completely after each use.

Bin body has smudges or marks

Wipe the brushed stainless steel surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel.
