1. Step 1: Prepare the Cabinet. Ensure the cabinet interior is clean and clear. The bin requires a minimum cabinet width of 300 mm. Refer to the diagram for minimum space requirements.
2. Step 2: Mark Drilling Points. Position the mounting frame on the cabinet floor. Use the provided template or measure carefully to mark the screw positions. Ensure sufficient clearance from the cabinet door hinges. The diagram shows specific measurements for placement.
3. Step 3: Secure the Mounting Frame. Drill pilot holes if necessary, then secure the mounting frame to the cabinet floor using the four screws (4.0 x 15 mm). Ensure the frame is firmly attached.
4. Step 4: Attach the Lid Mechanism. Attach the lid support arm to the side of the cabinet, ensuring it aligns with the bin's movement. This mechanism allows the lid to automatically lift as the bin is pulled out.
5. Step 5: Insert the Inner Bucket. Place the 20-litre inner bucket into the installed frame. Ensure it is seated correctly and can be pulled out smoothly.

6. Operating Instructions

Using your Hailo Solo waste bin is straightforward:

Daily Use:

• To access the bin, simply pull the inner bucket out manually from the cabinet. The lid will lift automatically as the bin extends.

• To close, push the bucket back into the cabinet until it is fully retracted. The lid will close automatically.

Removing the Inner Bucket:

• Grasp the sturdy handle on the inner bucket.
• Lift the inner bucket straight up and out of the frame for emptying.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will ensure the hygiene and longevity of your Hailo Solo waste bin.

Inner Bucket Cleaning:

• Remove the inner bucket from the frame.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers that could damage the plastic surface.

Frame and Lid Cleaning:

• Wipe the frame and lid with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or strong cleaning agents.

General Care:

• Periodically check all mounting screws for tightness and re-tighten if necessary.
• Ensure the sliding mechanism is free of debris to maintain smooth operation.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Hailo Solo waste bin, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem: Bin does not slide smoothly.

• Solution: Check for any obstructions (e.g., debris, food particles) in the sliding mechanism or on the cabinet floor.
• Solution: Ensure all mounting screws are tight and the frame is level. A loose or uneven installation can affect movement.
• Solution: Clean the runners of any dirt or debris that might impede smooth motion.

Problem: Lid does not open or close properly.

• Solution: Verify that the lid attachment mechanism is correctly installed and not obstructed.
• Solution: Check for any foreign objects preventing the lid from moving freely.
• Solution: Ensure the bin is fully extended or retracted for the lid to operate as intended.

Problem: Bin feels unstable or wobbly.

• Solution: Re-check all mounting screws for tightness. Loose screws are a common cause of instability.
• Solution: Ensure the cabinet floor is stable and flat. Uneven surfaces can affect the bin's stability.
