FAQs
What is the total capacity of this kitchen bin?
The bin has a total capacity of 60 liters, divided into two 30-liter compartments.
How do I change the trash bags?
Use the stay-open button to keep the lid lifted. Then, remove the inner bucket, replace the trash bag, and reinsert the bucket into the main bin. Close the lid normally.
Is the stainless steel exterior prone to rust?
The exterior is made of stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust. However, prolonged exposure to corrosive substances or harsh environments could affect its finish.
Can I use any size trash bags?
This bin is designed for standard 30-liter trash bags for optimal fit within the inner buckets. Using significantly different sizes may cause issues with fitting or closing the lid.
How often should I clean the inner buckets?
It is recommended to clean the inner buckets regularly, ideally after each trash bag change or at least weekly, depending on usage and the type of waste.
What does the 'stay-open' button do?
The stay-open button locks the lid in the open position, which is convenient for tasks like emptying the bin or cleaning without the lid closing prematurely.
Does the bin come with trash bags?
Yes, the bin comes with an initial set of 15 trash bags to get you started.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not close softly
Check for any obstructions around the hinge or lid. Ensure the inner buckets are correctly seated and not interfering with the lid's descent.
Pedal is stiff or unresponsive
Inspect the pedal mechanism for any debris or misalignment. Gently clean the pivot points. Ensure the inner buckets are not pushing against the pedal arm from the inside.
Fingerprints are still visible
While designed to be fingerprint-proof, heavy grease or certain cleaning agents might leave marks. Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to wipe the surface clean.
Inner bucket is difficult to remove
Ensure the trash bag is not caught on the rim of the bucket or the bin's frame. Empty the bucket completely and check for any external residue that might be causing it to stick.
