Battery Installation
The trash can requires 4 AA alkaline batteries for operation. Locate the battery compartment, typically on the underside of the lid or at the back of the unit. Insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Do not use rechargeable batteries, as they may affect performance and battery life. A fresh set of batteries can last up to 8 months with typical use.

Operating Instructions
Motion Sensor Operation
To open the lid, simply wave your hand over the motion sensor located on the front of the lid. The lid will open smoothly and quietly. After a few seconds of inactivity, the lid will automatically close. This hands-free operation promotes hygiene and convenience.

Stay-Open Mode for Longer Tasks
For tasks requiring the lid to remain open for an extended period, such as during food preparation, gently touch the "Open" button on the control panel. The lid will stay open until you manually close it by touching the "Close" button, or until a prolonged period of inactivity triggers an automatic close (if applicable, refer to specific model features for exact duration).

Maintenance
Cleaning and Fingerprint Resistance
The brushed stainless steel finish is designed to be fingerprint resistant, minimizing smudges and maintaining a clean appearance. For general cleaning, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish. The removable inner bucket can be easily lifted out and washed with soap and water for thorough cleaning.

When the batteries are low, the indicator light on the control panel may flash or the lid operation may become sluggish. Replace all 4 AA alkaline batteries simultaneously to ensure optimal performance. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for detailed steps.
