Troubleshooting

Lid does not open automatically.

Check the batteries and replace them if necessary. Ensure that the sensor is not obstructed and that there is adequate lighting. Also check the manual operation buttons to see if they're working.

Sensor is slow to respond.

Clean the sensor lens to remove any dust or debris. Ensure the area around the sensor is well-lit. Make sure that your hand is at the recommended distance (15cm) from the sensor.

The lid closes too quickly.

Ensure that the sensor is not triggering prematurely. You can try repositioning the bin away from direct sunlight or bright lights, as this may affect the sensor.

Compartments smell despite regular emptying.

Clean the compartments more frequently with a suitable cleaner. Consider using bin liners with odor-control features. Ensure the food waste bin is cleaned regularly.

The bin is unstable.

Ensure the bin is placed on a flat, even surface. Check the legs of the bin to make sure they are properly aligned.
