6. Maintenance and Refill Replacement

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and odor control:

• Emptying the Pail: It is recommended to empty the pail once a week, or when full, to maintain hygiene and odor control.
• Replacing the Refill: When the refill film is nearly depleted, open the top lid, pull out enough film to tie a new knot, and use the built-in cutter to cut the film. Tie off the top of the full bag and dispose of it. Then, install a new refill cartridge as described in Section 4.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Pet Genie Pail, consider the following common solutions:

• Odor Leakage: Ensure the lid is fully closed and the sliding lever is properly engaged after each use. Check if the refill bag is tied securely at the bottom and if it needs to be emptied.
• Difficulty with Sliding Lever: Ensure no waste is obstructing the lever's path. Clean any debris from the mechanism.
• Refill Not Dispensing: Check if the plastic tab was fully removed from the refill cartridge and if the film is tangled inside.
