Setup
- Unpack the Product: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present: the outer stainless steel bin, the inner plastic bucket, and the included trash bags.
- Insert Inner Bucket: Place the black inner plastic bucket into the stainless steel outer bin. Ensure it sits securely at the bottom.
- Attach Trash Bag: Drape a trash bag (such as the included SONGMICS KRB30A liner bags or standard 5.2-gallon/20L bags) over the rim of the inner bucket. Tuck the edges of the bag into the designated slots or under the rim to secure it. The inner bucket features a hole to help secure the bag in place, preventing it from slipping off.
- Position the Trash Can: Place the trash can in your desired location. The compact design and wall-friendly opening mechanism allow it to be placed close to walls without the lid hitting them when opened.

- Disposing of Waste: Place waste into the inner bucket. Ensure the lid is closed after use to contain odors and maintain hygiene.

Maintenance
- Cleaning the Outer Bin: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Cleaning the Inner Bucket: Periodically remove the inner bucket and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before placing it back into the outer bin.
- Replacing Trash Bags: When the trash bag is full, remove the inner bucket, tie the bag securely, and dispose of it. Replace with a new liner bag.
- Foot Pedal Mechanism: The foot pedal mechanism is designed for durability. Avoid excessive force when operating the pedal. If it becomes stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing its movement.
