Operating Instructions

- Closing the Lid: Release the pedal to allow the lid to close softly and silently. The soft-close mechanism prevents slamming.

- Cleaning Inner Buckets: The plastic inner buckets can be washed with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinserting.
- Pedal Mechanism: Periodically check the pedal mechanism for any debris. Keep it clean to ensure smooth operation. No lubrication is typically required.
