Troubleshooting
Lid does not close softly
Ensure the lid is not obstructed and that the inner bucket is correctly seated. Check if the soft-close mechanism has any debris lodged in it.
Pedal mechanism feels stiff or unresponsive
Check the pedal mechanism for any obstructions or debris. Clean the area around the pedal linkage. Ensure the inner bucket is not overfilled, which could impede the mechanism.
Inner bucket is difficult to remove
Ensure the trash bag is not caught on the rim of the inner bucket. Empty the bucket completely before attempting removal. Check for any external damage to the bucket or the bin housing.
Stay-open feature not engaging
Make sure the lid is opened fully to the designated stay-open position. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the lid from locking in the open position.
