3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Waste Disposal
To dispose of waste, simply lift the wooden top panel or slide it to the side to access the opening. The wastebasket is designed for general household or office waste.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To clean the exterior of the wastebasket, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the lacquer finish.
The interior can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure the interior is completely dry before placing a new trash bag or resuming use.
4.2 Care and Storage
To prolong the life of your wastebasket, avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for extended periods. Store in a dry environment when not in use.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Common Issues
- Odors: Ensure a trash bag is used and changed regularly. Clean the interior thoroughly if odors persist.
- Scratches/Dents: Handle the wastebasket with care to prevent surface damage. Minor scratches on the lacquer finish may be repairable with furniture polish designed for lacquered surfaces.
- Wooden Panel Sticking: Ensure the wooden panel and its slot are clean and free of debris.
