Operating Instructions
Touchless Sensor Operation:
The iTouchless Prime trash can features an infrared sensor for hands-free operation. Simply wave your hand approximately 6 inches above the sensor located on the lid. The lid will open automatically.
The touchless sensor allows for hygienic, hands-free lid opening.
Automatic Lid Closing:
After opening, the lid will remain open for a few seconds (typically 5 seconds) and then close automatically. A countdown timer on the lid indicates the remaining time before closing.
Manual Open/Close Buttons:
For longer tasks or when you need the lid to stay open, use the manual open and close buttons located on the lid. Press the 'OPEN' button to keep the lid open indefinitely. Press the 'CLOSE' button to close the lid manually.
Power Off Feature:
To conserve battery life when the trash can will not be used for an extended period (e.g., during vacations), you can power off the lid. Refer to the detailed user manual for the exact location of the power switch.
Advanced sensor technology ensures reliable and safe operation, preventing accidental lid closure.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Canister:
The plastic canister of the iTouchless Prime trash can is waterproof and designed for easy cleaning. It can be washed by spraying water directly, for example, with a garden hose. Ensure the lid is removed before cleaning the canister with water.
The waterproof canister can be easily cleaned with water for thorough hygiene.
Cleaning the Lid:
The lid contains electronic components and should not be submerged in water. Wipe the lid clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or electronic parts.
Battery Replacement:
When the sensor operation becomes sluggish or stops working, it is time to replace the batteries. Always replace all 4 AA batteries at once with new, high-quality alkaline batteries for optimal performance.
