Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Placement: Choose a suitable location for the trash can. Its slim design (15.1"L x 6.9"W x 11.8"H) allows it to fit into narrow spaces, such as beside a toilet or vanity.
3. Insert Inner Bucket: Place the removable PP plastic inner bucket inside the stainless steel outer bin. Ensure it sits securely at the bottom.
4. Add Trash Bag: Line the inner bucket with a standard 2.6-gallon (10 L) trash bag. Fold the edges of the bag over the rim of the inner bucket to secure it.
5. Stabilize: The trash can features an ABS plastic base with non-slip pads to ensure stability and prevent scratching floors. Ensure these pads are clean and make full contact with the floor.
