Troubleshooting

Pedal is stiff or doesn't open the lid fully.

Check for any obstructions around the pedal mechanism or inside the bin. Clean any debris and try moving the pedal manually. If the issue persists, ensure the lid is correctly seated.

Lid does not close properly.

Verify that the bin liner is not caught on the lid or rim. Ensure the lid is properly aligned on its hinge.

Plastic casing has minor scratches.

Light scratches on plastic can often be buffed out with a plastic polish or a very fine-grit sandpaper, used with caution. For deeper scratches, this may not be effective.

Bin has an unpleasant odor.

Ensure a bin liner is used and changed regularly. Clean the interior of the bin with a mild disinfectant. Sprinkle baking soda in the bottom of the bin before inserting a new liner to help absorb odors.
