The lid features a soft-close mechanism, meaning it closes gently and silently, significantly reducing noise compared to standard bins.

Can the pedal be removed?
The pedal is an integral part of the bin's function for hands-free operation and is not designed to be removed.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not close softly or silently.
Ensure the lid is properly aligned and that nothing is obstructing its path. Check that the trash bag is not preventing full closure. The internal mechanism may require adjustment if the issue persists after checking these points.
Pedal feels stiff or unresponsive.
Check that the pedal mechanism is clear of debris. Ensure the bin is on a level surface. If debris is present, carefully clean the mechanism. Prolonged stiffness may indicate a need for lubrication or mechanical check.
Exterior showing smudges or fingerprints easily.
Wipe down the steel surface with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. For a more resistant finish, apply a small amount of stainless steel polish after cleaning and buff gently.
Rust spots appear on the steel.
While rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture or certain corrosive substances can cause spots. Gently scrub the affected area with a mild abrasive cleaner (like baking soda paste) and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Apply a stainless steel polish to protect the surface.
