Operating Instructions
1. Motion Sensor Operation
- The trash can features an infrared motion sensor. When your hand or body approaches the sensing area (typically above the lid), the lid will automatically open.
- Upon opening, five blue display lights will illuminate.
- Once you move away from the sensing area, the blue lights will begin a 5-second countdown. The lid will close gently and smoothly after the countdown is complete.
- The soft-close mechanism ensures quiet operation, preventing loud slamming.
This image details the three methods for opening the trash can: a hand sensor for touchless operation, a knee sensor for convenience, and manual buttons on the lid for controlled opening and closing.
This image illustrates the soft-close feature of the trash can lid, showing it gently descending. The design ensures quiet and smooth operation, preventing loud slamming.
2. Manual Operation
- To keep the lid open for an extended period, gently press the button on the left side of the lid. The lid will remain in the open position.
- To close the lid manually, press the button on the right side of the lid. The lid will descend smoothly.
