FAQs

What type of batteries does the Eko Mirage Plus Sensor Bin use?

The bin requires 4 AA batteries, which are not included with the purchase.

How do I manually open the lid if the sensor doesn't work?

The bin features a manual touch button located on the lid for hands-on operation when needed.

What is the total capacity of the bin?

The total capacity is 60 litres, divided into three compartments: one 30-litre and two 15-litre compartments.

Is the stainless steel material difficult to keep clean?

No, the bin is made from fingerprint-resistant brushed stainless steel, which is designed to minimize smudges and is easy to clean with a damp cloth.

Can I use any type of bin liner?

It is recommended to use standard-sized bin liners that fit each compartment. The design helps conceal the bag overhang for a tidy appearance.

How does the soft-close feature work?

The lid is designed to close automatically in a quiet and smooth manner after a few seconds of inactivity, preventing loud noises and containing odors.

What are the benefits of the three-compartment system?

The three compartments allow for effective separation of general waste from different types of recyclables, promoting better waste management and recycling habits.

Troubleshooting

Sensor lid not opening automatically

Ensure fresh batteries are correctly installed. Check that the sensor area is clean and unobstructed. Try moving your hand closer to or further from the sensor.

Lid closing too quickly

Use the manual touch button for longer tasks. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the lid from closing fully, which might trigger the sensor again.

Bin lid is noisy or not closing smoothly

Check for any obstructions within the lid mechanism or bin liner. Ensure the batteries are not low, as this can affect motor function. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Exterior showing smudges despite being 'fingerprint-resistant'

Clean the surface with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel.
