• Do not allow children to play with the trash can.
• Do not overload the trash can beyond its 40-liter capacity.
• Ensure the trash can is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.

4. Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the trash can for any damage.
2. Positioning: Place the trash can in your desired location. The slim design allows for placement in narrow spaces, such as next to kitchen counters or furniture.
3. Installing the Trash Bag:
   • Lift the lid to its fully open position.
   • Lift the Smart Liner Unit (the removable frame on the lid) upwards.
   • Drape your trash bag over the top edge of the main body of the trash can.
   • Secure the trash bag by pulling its edges through the liner fixers located on the left and right sides inside the bin.
   • Lower the Smart Liner Unit back into place over the trash bag. This conceals the bag edges for a neat appearance and prevents the bag from slipping.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Opening the Lid (Pedal Operation): Gently step on the pedal located at the base of the trash can. The lid will open smoothly, allowing for hands-free disposal of waste.
2. Slow-Closing Lid: Release the pedal, and the lid will close slowly and quietly due to the integrated oil damper. This prevents slamming and reduces noise.
3. Holding the Lid Open: To keep the lid open for extended periods, such as when changing the trash bag or disposing of larger items, lift the lid manually to its highest position. It will remain open until manually closed.
