Setup

1. Unpack the Product: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the trash can and its components. Ensure all parts are present: the outer stainless steel body, the inner bucket, and the lid.
2. Insert Inner Bucket: Place the removable inner bucket into the stainless steel outer body. Ensure it sits securely at the bottom.
3. Load Bin Liners (Optional): If using Joseph Joseph IW8 custom-fit bin liners, unroll a new roll and insert it into the dedicated storage pocket located on the back of the trash can. Pull the first liner through the opening for easy access.
4. Install First Bin Liner: Drape a bin liner over the rim of the inner bucket. Tuck any excess liner into the designated holes or grooves around the rim of the inner bucket to secure it and ensure a neat appearance.
5. Position the Trash Can: Place the trash can on a flat, stable surface in your desired location. Its triangular shape is optimized for corner placement.

Operation

1. Opening the Lid: Gently press down on the foot pedal located at the base of the trash can. The lid will open smoothly.

3. Changing the Bin Liner:
   • Open the lid using the foot pedal.
   • Lift the inner bucket out of the outer body.
   • Remove the full bin liner from the inner bucket and dispose of it.
   • Take a new liner from the rear storage pocket (if utilized).
   • Place the new liner into the inner bucket, securing it around the rim.
   • Carefully place the inner bucket back into the outer body.
   • Close the lid.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and hygiene of your trash can.

• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Dry immediately with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the polished finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
• Inner Bucket Cleaning: The removable inner bucket can be washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before placing it back into the outer body.
• Lid Cleaning: Clean the lid with a soft, damp cloth. For the soft-close mechanism, ensure it remains free of debris to function correctly.
• Addressing Water Stains: For persistent water stains on the stainless steel, a specialized stainless steel cleaner can be used, following the product manufacturer's instructions.

Troubleshooting

• Lid Not Closing Softly:
  • Check for any obstructions around the hinge mechanism or the rim of the inner bucket that might be preventing the lid from closing fully.
  • Ensure the trash can is placed on a level surface. Uneven surfaces can sometimes affect lid operation.
• Trash Can Instability:
  • Verify that the trash can is positioned on a completely flat and stable floor.
  • Avoid placing heavy objects on the lid or near the pedal that could disrupt its balance.
• Difficulty Removing/Inserting Inner Bucket:
  • Ensure the inner bucket is aligned correctly with the outer body.
  • Check for any debris or foreign objects that might be lodged between the inner bucket and the outer body.
