Operating Instructions
Step-On Pedal Operation
To open the lid, simply step firmly on the foot pedal located at the base of the trash can. The lid will lift smoothly. Release the pedal to allow the lid to close gently due to the soft-close mechanism.

Soft-Close Lid
The integrated soft-close mechanism ensures the lid descends slowly and silently after the pedal is released. This feature prevents abrupt closures and extends the lifespan of the unit.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Exterior
To maintain the fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the finish.
Cleaning the Inner Liner
The removable inner liner can be washed with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before placing it back into the trash can body.
