Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the trash can from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Positioning: Place the trash can on a flat, stable surface in your desired location. Ensure there is adequate space for the lids to open without obstruction, especially if placing against a wall (wall-safe opening design).

3. Insert Inner Buckets & Install Trash Bags: The two removable inner buckets are pre-installed. Ensure they are seated correctly within the main body. Place a standard 10.5-gallon (40 L) trash bag into each inner bucket. Utilize the bag securing hole in the inner bucket to prevent the liner from slipping and maintain a neat look.

Operating Instructions

Using the Foot Pedal:

To open a lid, gently step on the corresponding foot pedal. The lid will open smoothly. Release the pedal, and the soft-close mechanism will ensure the lid closes quietly and slowly.

Using the Stay-Open Lid Feature:

For tasks requiring the lid to remain open, such as scraping food or changing bags, manually lift the lid to a 90° angle. It will lock into place. To close, simply push the lid down gently.
