Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the brushed stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the fingerprint-proof finish. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

2. Cleaning the Inner Bucket

The inner bucket is removable for easy cleaning. Lift the inner bucket out of the outer shell. Wash it with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely before placing it back into the trash can.

3. Replacing Liners

When the liner is full, remove the inner bucket or simply lift the liner from the top. Replace with a new simplehuman Code B liner or a compatible standard trash bag.

Troubleshooting

Lid Not Closing Silently

Check for any obstructions around the lid mechanism or hinges. Ensure the lid shox mechanism is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, gently clean the hinge area.

Pedal Not Functioning Smoothly

Inspect the pedal mechanism for any foreign objects or debris that might be impeding its movement. Clear any obstructions. The steel pedal is engineered for durability, but regular checks can prevent issues.

Excessive Smudges/Fingerprints

While the trash can is fingerprint-proof, heavy oils or residues may still leave marks. Clean the surface as described in the Maintenance section. For stubborn marks, a specialized stainless steel cleaner may be used.
