Setup and Installation

The ASI 20826-T is designed for surface mounting. Proper installation is crucial for stability and safety.

Tools and Materials Required:

• Drill
• Measuring Tape
• Level
• Pencil or Marker
• Appropriate mounting hardware (screws, anchors) suitable for your wall type (not included).

Installation Steps:

1. Select Location: Choose a suitable wall location that can support the weight of the receptacle when full. Ensure adequate clearance for the push door operation and waste disposal.
2. Mark Mounting Points: Hold the receptacle against the wall at the desired height. Use a level to ensure it is straight. Mark the locations for the mounting holes on the wall using a pencil or marker.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit should match the requirements of your chosen mounting hardware.
4. Install Anchors (if necessary): If using wall anchors, insert them into the drilled pilot holes according to the anchor manufacturer's instructions.
5. Mount Receptacle: Align the receptacle's mounting holes with the drilled holes/anchors. Secure the receptacle to the wall using appropriate screws. Tighten all screws firmly but do not overtighten.
6. Verify Stability: Gently pull on the mounted receptacle to ensure it is securely fastened to the wall and does not wobble.

Operating Instructions

Disposing of Waste:

• To dispose of waste, gently push the top door inward.
• Place waste materials into the opening.
• Release the door, and it will return to its closed position, concealing the waste.

Emptying the Receptacle:

1. Access the interior of the receptacle. Depending on the specific design, this may involve unlocking a front panel or lifting the top section.
2. Remove the internal liner or bag containing the waste.
3. Dispose of the waste according to local regulations.
4. Replace the internal liner or bag and secure the receptacle's access panel or top.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygienic operation of your waste receptacle.

Cleaning the Stainless Steel Surface:

• Wipe down the exterior surfaces regularly with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
• For stubborn marks or fingerprints, use a stainless steel cleaner specifically designed for satin finishes. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the satin finish.
• Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Internal Cleaning:

• Periodically clean the interior of the receptacle, especially if spills occur.
• Use a disinfectant cleaner as needed to maintain hygiene.

Mechanism Check:

• Periodically check the push door mechanism for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts (avoiding contact with waste areas).
