Troubleshooting
Lid does not close completely or slowly.
Check for any obstructions preventing the lid from closing. Ensure the inner bin is correctly seated. The silent-closing mechanism may require lubrication if consistently stiff.
Pedal feels stiff or unresponsive.
Inspect the pedal mechanism for any debris or blockages. Clean the area around the pedal. If the issue persists, a small amount of lubricant might be applied to the hinge point of the pedal.
Bin bag slips down inside the bin.
Ensure the bin bag is securely tucked over the rim of the inner container and held taut by the rubber retaining ring. If the ring is loose, check its fit or consider a slightly larger or stronger bag.
Outer bin is scratched or chipped.
Minor scratches can be buffed gently. For larger chips, touch-up paint designed for metal surfaces may be used, though it may not perfectly match the original finish. Avoid using harsh cleaners or abrasive materials.
