Operating Instructions
The Klarstein pedal bin offers convenient waste disposal and recycling.
Using the Top Compartments (Pedal & Push-Button)
- Pedal Operation: To open the lids of the top two compartments, gently press the foot pedal located at the base of the bin. The lids will open simultaneously. Release the pedal to allow the lids to close softly.
- Manual Push-Button Operation: For quick access without using the pedal, you can also press the small push-buttons located on the front edge of each top lid. Pressing a button will open the corresponding lid. Push the lid down manually to close it.
- Dispose of waste into the appropriate inner bucket.
Using the Bottom Compartment (Pull-Out Drawer)
- To access the bottom compartment, pull the handle located on the front of the lower section. The drawer will slide out smoothly.
- Dispose of recyclables or other designated waste into the inner bucket.
- Push the drawer back in until it is fully closed.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning will keep your Klarstein pedal bin hygienic and looking new.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. For best results and to prevent streaks, dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or cleaners that can scratch the surface.
- Inner Buckets: The inner buckets can be easily removed for cleaning. Wash them with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before placing them back into the bin.
- Lid and Pedal Mechanism: Periodically check the lid hinges and pedal mechanism for any debris or obstructions. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Do not lubricate the mechanism unless specifically instructed by Klarstein support.
- Odor Control: To minimize odors, empty the bin regularly and clean the inner buckets as needed. Baking soda can be placed at the bottom of the inner buckets (under the trash bag) to absorb odors.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lids do not open/close smoothly. | Obstruction in mechanism or hinges. | Check for debris around the pedal and lid hinges. Clean if necessary. Ensure inner buckets are correctly seated. |
| Bottom drawer sticks or is difficult to pull out. | Overloaded inner bucket or debris in the sliding mechanism. | Reduce the load in the bottom bucket. Check for and remove any debris from the drawer's runners. |
| Unpleasant odors persist. | Infrequent emptying or inadequate cleaning. | Empty waste more frequently. Thoroughly clean inner buckets and the bin's interior. Use odor absorbers if needed. |
| Bin appears unstable. | Uneven surface. | Relocate the bin to a flat, stable surface. |
