4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
The dent-proof ABS plastic body is durable and easy to clean. The waterproof can body may be washed with water.
- For the can body: Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, the can body is waterproof and can be rinsed with water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching the lid.
- For the lid: Wipe the lid surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not submerge the lid in water or use abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the electronic components.
