Maintenance
Cleaning the Trash Can

Changing the Trash Liner
- Lift the stainless steel liner rim.
- Utilize the 'bucket park' position by lifting the inner bucket a few inches and tilting it towards you, allowing it to rest in place. This makes removing the full bag easier.
- Remove the full trash bag and dispose of it properly.
- Insert a new simplehuman code K liner or compatible 11.9 gallon / 45 liter bag.
- Return the inner bucket to its normal position and lower the liner rim to secure the new bag.

Troubleshooting
- Lid not closing silently: Check for any obstructions around the lid mechanism or hinges. Ensure the lid shox technology is functioning correctly.
- Trash bag slipping: Ensure you are using simplehuman code K custom fit liners or a compatible 11.9 gallon / 45 liter bag that is properly tucked under the liner rim.
- Can unstable: Verify that the non-skid base is clean and free of debris, allowing the rubber pads to grip the floor effectively.
