Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the trash cans and all packaging materials from the box.
2. Insert Inner Bucket: Ensure the removable inner bucket is properly seated inside the main stainless steel body of each trash can.
3. Place Trash Bag: Line the inner bucket with an appropriately sized trash bag. For the 5-liter can, use small kitchen or bathroom bags. For the 30-liter can, use standard kitchen trash bags. Ensure the bag edges are tucked neatly under the rim of the inner bucket.
4. Position: Place the trash cans in your desired locations, ensuring the foot pedal has clear access and the lid can open fully without obstruction.

Operating Instructions

• Opening the Lid: Gently press down on the steel foot pedal located at the base of the trash can. The lid will open smoothly.
• Closing the Lid: Release pressure from the foot pedal. The lid will slowly and silently close due to the soft-closing mechanism. Avoid forcing the lid closed, as this can damage the mechanism.
• Maintaining Cleanliness: The fingerprint-resistant finish helps keep the exterior clean. For best results, wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth.

Maintenance

• Exterior Cleaning: To clean the stainless steel exterior, use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Wipe in the direction of the grain. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
• Inner Bucket Cleaning: The removable inner bucket can be easily lifted out for cleaning. Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely before placing it back into the trash can.
• Odor Control: Regularly empty and clean the inner bucket to prevent odors. Using trash bags with odor control features can also help.

Troubleshooting

• Lid Not Closing Softly: Check for any obstructions around the lid or hinge mechanism. Ensure the trash can is placed on a level surface. If the issue persists, gently clean the hinge area.
• Foot Pedal Sticking: Ensure no debris is lodged around the pedal mechanism. Clean the area if necessary.
• Excessive Fingerprints/Smudges: While designed to be resistant, heavy use may show some marks. Clean with a stainless steel cleaner or a soft, damp cloth as described in the Maintenance section.
