FAQs
What size bin bags does this bin use?
The bin is designed to use standard kitchen bin bags. It comes with 15 bags to get you started.
Do I need to purchase batteries separately?
Yes, the bin requires 4 AA batteries for operation, which are not included with the purchase.
How do I activate the motion sensor?
Simply wave your hand or move towards the sensor located on the front of the lid. The lid will then open automatically.
How do I clean the motion sensor bin?
Wipe the exterior and interior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Ensure the sensor window is kept clean.
What does 'soft close' mean?
The soft-close feature means the lid will close gently and quietly, without slamming shut.
Can I manually open the bin?
While the primary function is motion-activated, you can usually manually lift the lid if needed, though avoid forcing the mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not open automatically
Check that the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Ensure the sensor area is clean and unobstructed. Try moving your hand closer to or further from the sensor.
Lid closes too quickly
This is a normal function of the soft-close mechanism. If it seems excessively fast, ensure batteries are not low, as this can affect sensor and motor performance.
Bin is making unusual noises
Check for any obstructions around the lid mechanism. Ensure the lid is closing properly onto the bin body.
