5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Motion Sensor Operation

The trash can features an infrared motion sensor for hands-free operation.

• To open the lid, simply wave your hand or approach the sensor area (approximately 30 cm / 11.8 inches) above the lid.
• The lid will open quickly (0.2 seconds reaction time) and remain open for 5 seconds.
• After 5 seconds of inactivity, the lid will close gently and quietly.

The motion sensor on the EKO Mirage trash can detects hand movement within 30 cm (11.8 inches) for a fast 0.2-second lid opening.

The lid features a soft-closing mechanism for quiet and gentle operation, preventing sudden slams.

5.2 Manual Stay-Open Function

For longer tasks, you can manually keep the lid open.

• Press the designated "Open" button on the lid. The lid will open and remain open.
• The lid will automatically close after 20 minutes if no sensor activation occurs, or you can press the "Close" button to close it manually.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Exterior: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching the fingerprint-resistant finish.
