Image: Two Sensible Eco Living 1.56 gallon stainless steel trash cans. These units feature a sleek design with a soft-close lid mechanism and a fingerprint-resistant finish, designed for convenience and hygiene.
Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the trash cans from their packaging. Inspect both units for any signs of damage.
- Placement: Position the trash cans on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the pedal for comfortable operation. These units are suitable for various indoor environments, including bathrooms and offices.
- Insert Trash Bag: Lift the inner bucket from the main body. Place a standard 1.56-gallon (5.9-liter) trash bag into the inner bucket, folding the edges over the rim. Carefully lower the inner bucket back into the main body.
Operating Instructions
- Opening the Lid: Gently step on the foot pedal located at the base of the trash can. The lid will open smoothly.
- Soft-Close Mechanism: Release the foot pedal, and the lid will slowly and quietly close on its own. This feature prevents slamming and reduces noise.
- Removing/Replacing Trash Bags: To remove a full trash bag, lift the inner bucket using its handle. Tie the trash bag securely and dispose of it. Replace with a new trash bag as described in the "Setup" section.
Maintenance
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots. The fingerprint-resistant finish helps maintain its appearance.
- Cleaning the Inner Bucket: The inner bucket can be washed with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before placing it back into the trash can.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the pedal mechanism and soft-close damper for smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lid does not open when pedal is pressed. | Pedal mechanism obstructed or damaged. | Check for any debris or objects blocking the pedal. Ensure the pedal linkage is intact. |
| Lid does not close softly. | Soft-close damper mechanism obstructed or worn. | Ensure nothing is obstructing the lid's path. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Trash can moves when pedal is pressed. | Insufficient weight or unstable surface. | Ensure the trash can is placed on a stable, level surface. Adding some weight to the bottom (e.g., a full trash bag) can help stabilize it. |
