Operating Instructions

Using the Pull-Out Trash Bins:

The cabinet features two pull-out compartments designed to hold 12.5-gallon trash bins. To access, gently pull the handle on the front panel to slide out the bin. To close, push the panel back in until it is flush with the cabinet front. This mechanism helps conceal the trash and contain odors effectively.
