Setup and Installation
Your simplehuman trash can comes pre-assembled and ready for use. Follow these steps for initial setup:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the trash can from its packaging. Ensure all components, including the inner buckets, are present and undamaged.
- Placement: Position the trash can in your desired location. The internal hinge design allows it to be placed directly against a wall without the lid hitting the surface when opened.
- Insert Liners: Place appropriate trash liners into each inner bucket. For optimal fit and to prevent slipping, use simplehuman code H liners for the larger compartment and code V liners for the smaller compartment.

Operating Instructions
The simplehuman trash can is designed for ease of use and durability.
- Opening the Lid: Step firmly on the steel pedal located at the base of the can. The lid will open smoothly.
- Silent Close Lid: Release the pedal, and the lid will close slowly and silently due to the patented lid shox technology.
- Stay-Open Lid: For longer tasks or when changing liners, push the lid fully open until it locks into the stay-open position. To close, gently push the lid down.
- Dual Compartments: Utilize the two separate inner buckets for efficient sorting of trash and recyclables.

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your simplehuman trash can.
- Cleaning the Exterior: The fingerprint-proof stainless steel finish resists smudges. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning Inner Buckets: The durable inner buckets are removable for easy cleaning. Wash them with soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly before returning them to the can.
- Odor Control: The can is compatible with simplehuman Odorsorb Pods (sold separately). These pods fit discreetly under the lid and release a natural plant oil-based formula to neutralize odors for up to 45 days.
- Base Care: The non-skid base has rubber pads that protect your floors. Ensure the base is clean and free of debris to maintain stability.
