FAQs

What type of batteries does the bin require?

The bin requires standard LR 6 AA batteries for the sensor mechanism.

How long does the lid stay open automatically?

The lid will automatically close 5 to 6 seconds after your hand leaves the sensor range.

Can I operate the bin if the batteries die?

The sensor will not work without power, but the inner bucket can still be accessed by lifting the lid manually if necessary.

Does it work with any standard trash bag?

Yes, it is designed to work with standard bags, which are then secured using the internal clamping ring.

Is the exterior fingerprint resistant?

While the stainless steel finish is durable, it may show fingerprints; regular wiping with a microfiber cloth is recommended.

How do I clean the inner bucket?

The inner bucket is fully removable; you can take it out to wash it with warm, soapy water and dry it before reinserting.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not open when hands are near

Check if batteries are correctly inserted or replace them with fresh LR 6 AA batteries.

Lid remains open constantly

Clean the infrared sensor window with a dry cloth and ensure no objects are within the 15cm detection range.

Trash bag keeps slipping inside

Ensure the clamping ring is properly snapped into place over the rim of the inner bucket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the unit, insert the required LR 6 AA batteries into the designated compartment. Ensure the batteries are seated correctly to avoid intermittent sensor issues. To maintain the stainless steel finish, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. Use standard bin liners that fit the 30-litre capacity, securing them firmly with the integrated clamping ring. Periodically check the sensor window on the lid to ensure it is free of dust or debris for optimal performance.
