FAQs

How does the self-extinguishing lid work?

The lid is designed to fit snugly, creating a seal that cuts off the oxygen supply to any smoldering material inside the bin. This lack of oxygen starves the flames, preventing them from growing or spreading.

Is this bin suitable for containing an active fire?

This bin is designed for *preventive* fire protection against smoldering materials. It is not designed to extinguish large, active fires. Always follow standard fire safety procedures for actual emergencies.

What material is the bin made from?

The bin is constructed from high-grade steel with a scratch-proof, epoxy resin coating.

What is the capacity of this waste bin?

The capacity of this waste bin is 15 liters.

Is the lid removable?

Yes, the lid is removable for easy emptying and cleaning of the bin.

What are the dimensions of the bin?

The dimensions are approximately 26 cm in diameter and 35.7 cm in height.

Does the bin help with odor control?

The self-extinguishing lid helps to reduce immediate odors by sealing the contents, but it is not specifically designed as an odor-proof bin. For strong odors, regular emptying is recommended.

What certifications does this product have?

This product is TÜV certified for preventive fire protection.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not close properly

Ensure the bin is not overfilled. Check for any obstructions around the rim or on the lid itself. Gently adjust the lid to ensure a snug fit.

Exterior has scratches

While the coating is scratch-resistant, deep scratches may occur with rough handling. Clean the area gently and consider using a furniture polish designed for coated metal surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools.

Waste bin feels unstable

Ensure the bin is placed on a level surface. Check that the base is clean and free of debris that might prevent it from sitting flat.

Care:
