2. Setup and Installation

2.1 Required Tools

• Measuring tape or ruler
• Pencil
• Drill
• Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
• Spirit level

2.2 Installation Steps

1. Prepare Cabinet: Ensure your cabinet has a minimum width of 400 mm. Clear the installation area inside the cabinet.
2. Position Mounting Bracket: Place the mounting bracket on the inner side wall of the cabinet. The bracket can be installed on either the left or right side, depending on your preference. Use a spirit level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
3. Mark Drill Holes: Using a pencil, mark the positions for the screw holes through the mounting bracket onto the cabinet wall.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Carefully drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Ensure the drill bit size is appropriate for the screws provided to prevent splitting the wood.
5. Secure Mounting Bracket: Attach the mounting bracket to the cabinet side wall using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly secured.
6. Attach Bin Mechanism: Slide the waste bin's mechanism onto the secured mounting bracket. Ensure it clicks into place or is fastened according to the specific design.
7. Connect Lid Mechanism: Connect the automatic lid opening arm to the cabinet door. This arm ensures the lid lifts when the cabinet door is opened and closes when the door is shut. Adjust the connection point on the door to ensure smooth operation and prevent rubbing. (Note: If the bin rubs against the cabinet or door upon closing, slightly adjust the mounting height of the door connection point by a few millimeters.)
8. Insert Waste Bin: Place the 20-liter waste bin into the installed mechanism.
9. Test Operation: Open and close the cabinet door several times to ensure the bin swings out smoothly and the lid opens and closes correctly without obstruction.

3. Operating Instructions

The Hailo Big-Box 3720-00 MB Swing waste bin is designed for ease of use with your cabinet door.

• Opening: Simply open your cabinet door. The bin will automatically swing out with the door, and the lid will lift, providing access for waste disposal.
• Closing: Close the cabinet door. The bin will retract into the cabinet, and the lid will automatically close, sealing off odors.
• Removing the Bin: To empty or clean the bin, lift it vertically out of its mounting frame.
• Inserting the Bin: After emptying or cleaning, place the bin back into the frame, ensuring it is seated correctly.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your waste bin.

• Cleaning the Bin: The inner plastic bin can be easily removed and washed with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinserting.
• Cleaning Exterior Surfaces: Wipe down the stainless steel and plastic exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the finish.
• Lid Mechanism: Periodically check the automatic lid mechanism for smooth operation. If necessary, wipe away any dust or debris that may accumulate around the moving parts. Do not lubricate with oil or grease unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
• Mounting Hardware: Occasionally check that all screws and mounting hardware are secure. Tighten if necessary.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Hailo Big-Box waste bin, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Lid Not Opening/Closing Correctly:
  • Check for Obstructions: Ensure no debris or objects are blocking the lid's movement or the automatic opening arm.
  • Adjust Lid Mechanism: The spring tension in the lid mechanism might be too strong or too weak, causing the lid to not lift fully or the cabinet door to reopen. Inspect the connection point on the door and adjust its position slightly. If the spring feels excessively stiff, contact customer support.
  • Verify Bin Placement: Ensure the inner bin is correctly seated in its frame.
• Bin Rubs Against Cabinet/Door:
  • Adjust Mounting Position: During installation, the mounting bracket or the lid arm connection point might have been set too low or too high. Slightly adjust the position of the mounting hardware on the cabinet side wall or the door to create clearance.
  • Check Cabinet Door Hinges: Ensure the cabinet door itself is properly aligned and not sagging.
• Bin Feels Loose or Unstable:
  • Tighten Screws: Check all mounting screws on the side wall bracket and tighten them if they are loose.
  • Verify Installation: Ensure the bin mechanism is fully engaged with the mounting bracket.
