Troubleshooting
Lid not opening automatically.
Ensure the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Check that the sensor is clean and unobstructed. Verify you are within the 30 cm sensing range.
Lid closes too quickly.
This is the designed behavior (stays open for 5 seconds). If it seems to close significantly faster, check the battery level or ensure nothing is blocking the closing mechanism.
Odors are not being controlled.
Ensure the activated carbon filter is properly installed and replace it if it is old or saturated. Make sure the lid is closing completely.
Bin is not responding to button press.
Check the battery power. If batteries are low, replace them. Ensure the button is not stuck.
