Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your trash can is straightforward: open the battery compartment, insert 4 fresh C-cell batteries, and close the cover. Ensure the bin is placed on a flat surface to prevent tipping. To maintain the unit, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid submerging the lid assembly in water, as it contains sensitive electronic components. To clean the interior, remove the inner liner (if applicable) and wash it with soap and water before air-drying. Regularly check the sensor lens for dust or debris to ensure it maintains its 0.2s response speed.
