Operating Instructions
1. Sensor 2.0 Technology
The enhanced motion sensor detects movement within its range, opening the lid automatically. The lid opens precisely when needed, reducing false triggers and ensuring a hygienic, touchless experience. The lid will close automatically after a few seconds of inactivity.
2. PetGuard Lock
To prevent pets from opening the lid, activate the built-in PetGuard Lock. This integrated lock secures the lid, ensuring no accidental openings or messes. Refer to the lid controls for activation and deactivation.
3. Stay-Open Lid Feature
For extended use, the lid can be set to remain open. This prevents the lid from closing mid-task, providing convenience during longer disposal periods. Consult the lid controls for engaging this feature.
4. LED Status Lights
The lid features color LED lights that indicate the unit's power status, activity, and other operational information. Observe these lights for quick diagnostics.

2. AbsorbX Odor Filter Replacement
For optimal odor control, replace the AbsorbX Odor Filter regularly. The frequency of replacement depends on usage and the type of waste disposed. Replacement filters are available from iTouchless.
