- Lid Placement: Place the motion sensor lid securely onto the bin body.
- Positioning: Place the bin in your desired kitchen location, ensuring there is enough clear space above the sensor for optimal operation.
Operating Instructions
- Motion Sensor Operation:
The bin is equipped with an infrared motion sensor. When an object (e.g., your hand) approaches the sensor area (typically within 10-15 cm), the lid will automatically open. It will remain open for a few seconds and then close automatically once the object is removed from the sensor range.
Image: The automatic lid opens smoothly when motion is detected by the sensor.
- Manual Open/Close Buttons:
For situations requiring the lid to stay open longer, use the manual open/close buttons located on the lid. Press the 'OPEN' button to open the lid, and it will remain open until you press the 'CLOSE' button. This is useful for tasks like changing the bin liner or disposing of larger amounts of waste.

- Low Battery Indicator:
The bin features a low battery indicator (often an LED light) that will signal when the batteries need to be replaced. Replace all batteries simultaneously for optimal performance.
Maintenance
- Cleaning the Bin Body:
Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the polished finish. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

- Cleaning the Lid:
Wipe the lid and sensor area with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the sensor or electronic components. Ensure the sensor area is free from dust and debris for proper function.
- Battery Replacement:
When the low battery indicator activates, replace all batteries promptly. Refer to the 'Setup' section for battery installation instructions.
- Liner Replacement:
To replace the bin liner, use the manual 'OPEN' button to keep the lid open. Remove the full liner and insert a new one, ensuring it is properly secured to prevent slippage.
