Maintenance
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the stainless steel surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots. The fingerprint-resistant finish helps maintain its appearance.
- Cleaning the Interior: Periodically clean the interior of the bin with a mild disinfectant solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before inserting a new trash bag.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the finish.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bin is unstable or slides easily. | Uneven surface or lack of grip. | Ensure the bin is on a flat surface. The skid-resistant base should provide stability. |
| Trash bag slips down into the bin. | Bag not properly secured. | Ensure the trash bag is fully extended over the rim and secured using the internal bag fixer slot. |
| Fingerprints visible on surface. | Heavy use or residue. | Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. The finish is fingerprint-resistant, not fingerprint-proof. |
