Troubleshooting
Lid does not open when moving hand near sensor
Check that batteries are installed correctly and possess sufficient charge. Clean the sensor eye with a dry cloth.
Lid opens accidentally when walking by
Relocate the bin slightly further away from high-traffic walkways to keep the sensor out of the immediate path of movement.
Lid closes too quickly
Ensure no items are obstructing the sensor range and verify that the delay-sensing technology is not being confused by low battery power.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your dustbin, insert the four included D alkaline batteries into the designated compartment under the lid. Place your standard bin liner into the container, folding the excess edges over the removable inner ring to ensure it stays taut. When cleaning, wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive cleaner to protect the fingerprint-proof coating. Avoid submerging the lid mechanism in water, as it contains electronic components that are not waterproof. Periodically clear any dust from the sensor eye to ensure the motor continues to respond accurately.
