Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your iTouchless sensor trash can:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present: the trash can body, sensor lid, odor filter compartment, and retainer ring.
2. Battery Installation: Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the lid. Insert 4 AA batteries (not included) according to the polarity indicators. Close the compartment securely.
3. Optional AC Adapter: For continuous power, an optional AC adapter (sold separately) can be connected. Plug the adapter into the port located on the back of the lid and then into a standard wall outlet.
4. Odor Filter Installation: Open the odor filter compartment located inside the lid. Insert one AbsorbX odor filter (first filter included) into the compartment. Close the compartment.
5. Trash Bag Installation: Place a 13-gallon trash bag into the can. Secure the bag by placing the retainer ring over the top edge of the bag and fitting it into the can's rim. This hides the bag overhang and prevents it from slipping.
6. Placement: Position the trash can in your desired location. Ensure there is adequate space around the sensor on the lid to avoid accidental activation.

Operating Instructions

Your iTouchless sensor trash can offers convenient hands-free operation:

• Motion Sensor Activation: Wave your hand approximately 6 inches above the sensor on the lid. The lid will open automatically. It will remain open for a few seconds and then close gently and silently.
• Stay Open Feature: To keep the lid open for a longer duration, press the 'Open' button on the sensor panel. Press the 'Close' button to close the lid manually, or it will close automatically after approximately 4 minutes.
• Odor Control: The built-in AbsorbX odor filter system actively traps and neutralizes odors, helping to maintain a fresh environment.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures your trash can operates efficiently:

• Cleaning: The stainless steel surface is fingerprint-resistant and easy to clean. Use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe down the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. For the sensor area, use a dry cloth to gently wipe away dust.
• Odor Filter Replacement: The AbsorbX odor filter should be replaced every three months, or sooner depending on usage, to maintain effective odor control. You can sign up for text reminders for filter replacement.
• Battery Replacement: When the batteries are low, the lid's operation may become slower or inconsistent. Replace all 4 AA batteries simultaneously with new ones.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your iTouchless sensor trash can, refer to the following common solutions:

• Lid Not Opening/Closing:
  • Check battery installation and replace with fresh batteries if needed.
  • Ensure the AC adapter is securely plugged in if using external power.
  • Verify that the sensor area is clean and free from obstructions.
• Lid Opens Unexpectedly:
  • Ensure the trash can is not placed in a high-traffic area where movement might trigger the sensor.
  • Check for direct sunlight or strong artificial light sources shining on the sensor, which can cause interference.
• Odor Persists:
  • Replace the AbsorbX odor filter.
  • Ensure the trash bag is properly sealed and the retainer ring is correctly seated.
• Lid Closes Too Quickly/Slowly:
  • This may indicate low battery power. Replace batteries.
