Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the trash can and all packaging materials from the box. Inspect for any damage.
- Remove Inner Liner: Lift the removable plastic liner out of the stainless steel outer shell.
- Insert Trash Bag: Place a standard 13-gallon or larger trash bag into the removable plastic liner, ensuring the bag's rim is folded over the top edge of the liner.
- Replace Inner Liner: Carefully lower the filled liner back into the stainless steel outer shell. Ensure it sits securely at the bottom.
- Position: Place the trash can in your desired location, ensuring there is enough clearance for the butterfly lid to open fully without obstruction. The slim design is ideal for narrow spaces.
Operating Instructions
- Opening the Lid: Gently step on the foot pedal located at the base of the trash can. The butterfly lid will open smoothly.
- Disposing Waste: Place waste into the opening. Release the foot pedal to allow the lid to close quietly and slowly.
- Emptying the Trash: When the trash can is full, step on the pedal to open the lid, then lift the entire inner plastic liner out of the stainless steel shell. Tie off the trash bag and dispose of it properly.
- Replacing the Bag: After emptying, place a new trash bag into the inner liner and return the liner to the trash can as described in the Setup section.
Maintenance and Care
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the finish.
- Inner Liner Cleaning: The removable plastic liner can be washed with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before placing it back into the trash can.
- Lid Mechanism: Periodically check the lid mechanism and foot pedal for any debris or obstructions that might hinder smooth operation. Clean as needed.
- Odor Control: To minimize odors, regularly empty the trash, clean the inner liner, and consider using odor-absorbing products inside the can.
