What's in the Box

Carefully unpack all components and ensure you have the following items:

• 1 x Trash Can Lid
• 1 x Trash Can Body
• 1 x AbsorbX Odor Filter Kit
• 1 x Retainer Ring (for securing trash bags)

Setup

1. Power Installation:

   The trash can can be powered by 4 Size D batteries (not included) or an optional AC Adapter (sold separately). To install batteries, open the battery compartment located on the underside of the lid and insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators. If using the AC adapter, plug it into the designated port on the back of the lid and then into a wall outlet.

2. AbsorbX Odor Filter Installation:

   Locate the filter compartment on the underside of the lid. Insert the AbsorbX odor filter into this compartment. The activated carbon filter helps absorb and neutralize trash odors.

3. Trash Bag Installation:

   Place a trash bag into the trash can body. Secure the top edge of the trash bag by fitting it under the retainer ring. This keeps the bag neatly in place and prevents it from slipping.

4. Placement:

   Position the trash can in your desired location. Ensure there is adequate space around the sensor for proper operation and that the lid can open freely without obstruction.

Operating Instructions

1. Motion Sensor Operation:

   To open the lid automatically, simply wave your hand approximately 6 inches above the sensor located on the front of the lid. The lid will open instantly and remain open for a few seconds before closing automatically. This provides a hygienic, touch-free experience.

   For extended use or specific situations, you can manually control the lid. Press the 'OPEN' button on the lid to keep it open. Press the 'CLOSE' button to close the lid.

3. PetGuard Feature:

   The PetGuard feature is designed to prevent pets from opening the lid. This mechanism ensures that the lid remains securely closed, protecting your pets from trash contents and maintaining a clean environment.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Exterior:

   The stainless steel exterior is fingerprint-proof and smudge-resistant. To clean, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.

2. AbsorbX Odor Filter Replacement:

   For optimal odor control, replace the AbsorbX odor filter periodically. The frequency of replacement depends on usage and the type of waste disposed. Refer to the product packaging or iTouchless website for replacement filter availability.

3. Battery Replacement:

   When the batteries are low, the sensor's indicator light may flash or the lid may operate slowly. Replace all 4 Size D batteries simultaneously to ensure consistent performance.

Troubleshooting

• Lid not opening or closing:
  • Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient power. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the sensor area is clean and free from obstructions.
  • Verify that the power switch (if present) is in the 'ON' position.
• Persistent odors:
  • Replace the AbsorbX odor filter.
  • Ensure the lid is closing completely to seal in odors.
• Lid closing on hand:
  • Ensure your hand is within the sensor's detection range. Some models feature 'Reflex Technology' to prevent premature closing.
