1. Setup and Installation

The Relaxdays Built-in Waste Bin is designed for installation inside a kitchen base cabinet. Ensure your cabinet has an interior width of at least 40 cm to accommodate the unit.

1.1. Package Contents

• Waste bin unit with telescopic rail
• Inner bins (1x 20L, 2x 10L)

• Instruction manual (this document)

1.2. Tools Required

• Pencil

1.3. Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Cabinet: Clear the chosen base cabinet. Ensure the surface where the bin will be mounted is clean and level.
2. Position the Unit: Place the waste bin unit inside the cabinet. Position it to allow for full extension of the telescopic rail without obstruction from the cabinet door or hinges. The unit should be placed against the back wall of the cabinet for optimal stability.
3. Mark Drilling Points: Using a pencil, mark the positions for the mounting screws through the pre-drilled holes in the base frame of the unit.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Carefully drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Ensure the drill bit size is appropriate for the provided screws to prevent splitting the cabinet material.
5. Secure the Unit: Place the unit back into position, align the holes, and secure it firmly to the cabinet base using the provided screws and washers.

3. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygienic operation of your waste bin.

3.1. Cleaning the Inner Bins

• Empty the inner bins regularly.
• Wash the inner bins with warm soapy water. A mild household cleaner can be used for stubborn dirt.
• Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before placing them back into the unit.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the plastic surface.

3.2. Cleaning the Outer Unit and Lid

• Wipe the exterior of the unit and the lid with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Dry with a soft cloth.
• The lid helps contain odors and can also serve as a small shelf for bin liners or cleaning accessories.

3.3. Telescopic Rail Care

• Periodically check the telescopic rail for any debris or obstructions.
• If the rail becomes stiff, wipe it clean and apply a small amount of silicone spray or a similar lubricant designed for metal slides. Do not use oil-based lubricants that can attract dust.

4. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

4.1. Bin Does Not Slide Smoothly

• Check for Obstructions: Ensure there are no items blocking the telescopic rail or the path of the bin inside the cabinet.
• Clean the Rail: Dust or debris can accumulate on the rail. Clean it as described in the Maintenance section (3.3).
• Lubricate the Rail: If cleaning doesn't help, apply a suitable lubricant to the telescopic slides.
• Verify Installation: Ensure the unit is securely mounted and level. Loose screws or an uneven installation can affect smooth operation.

4.2. Odors from the Bin

• Empty Regularly: Empty waste, especially organic waste, frequently.
• Clean Thoroughly: Wash inner bins and the lid with warm soapy water and disinfect if necessary.
• Use Bin Liners: Always use appropriate bin liners to prevent direct contact of waste with the bins.
• Baking Soda: Place a small open container of baking soda at the bottom of the bin (under the liner) to absorb odors.
