Troubleshooting
Lid does not close softly
Ensure the inner bucket is correctly seated and not obstructing the lid's path. Check that the bin liner is not caught or preventing a full closure. The internal mechanism may require a brief period to adjust after initial use.
Pedal feels stiff or unresponsive
Check for any obstructions around the pedal mechanism. Clean any debris that may have accumulated. Ensure the inner bucket is not interfering with the pedal's movement.
Bin liner is difficult to secure
Ensure you are using a liner of the appropriate size. Adjust the liner around the inner bucket's rim, utilizing the designated securing points if available, to keep it taut and hidden.
Exterior shows smudges easily
Use a damp microfiber cloth for cleaning, followed by drying with a separate dry microfiber cloth. For fingerprints, a cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel can be effective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Remove the bin from its packaging.
Place a suitable 30L bin liner into the inner bucket, ensuring the edges are secured by the internal clips or tabs.
Insert the inner bucket back into the outer shell.
Ensure the lid is properly aligned and operating smoothly.
Compatibility:
This bin is designed to accommodate standard 30-liter kitchen bin liners. Various brands of liners will fit, provided they are the correct size.
Care Instructions:
Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Interior: The removable inner bucket can be washed with soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before replacing it in the outer bin.
Lid Mechanism: Avoid excessive force on the pedal or lid. Periodically check the hinge and pedal for debris that might impede smooth operation. The steel construction is rust-resistant but prolonged exposure to moisture without drying could eventually affect its appearance.
