Is the inner bucket removable for cleaning?

Can I disable the automatic function and use it manually?

Troubleshooting
Bin does not open automatically
Ensure the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Check that the power switch is in the 'ON' position. Clean the sensor lens for obstructions.
Lid closes too quickly
This is a normal function for most automatic bins. If it seems excessively fast, check for low battery power, as this can affect sensor performance.
Motion sensor is too sensitive or not sensitive enough
Try repositioning the bin to avoid areas with frequent, unexpected movement (like heating vents or direct sunlight). Ensure the sensor lens is clean. Some models may have sensitivity adjustment settings; consult the product manual.
Odour control is not effective
Ensure the lid is properly sealed when closed. Check that the rubbish bag is correctly fitted and not overflowing. For strong odours, consider using bin deodorizers or more frequent emptying.
Soft-close mechanism is noisy
Ensure the lid is not obstructed. If the noise persists, there might be an issue with the mechanism, and contacting customer support may be necessary.
