FAQs

How do I activate the sensor function?

Ensure 4 x AA batteries (not included) are properly installed in the battery compartment located under the lid. Once powered, the motion sensor will automatically activate when your hand approaches.

What is the capacity of this bin?

The bin has a large capacity of 58 litres, suitable for substantial household waste.

How long does the lid stay open?

The lid automatically closes after 5 seconds of inactivity.

Can I use this bin outdoors?

This bin is designed for indoor use. Exposure to weather elements and direct sunlight can affect the sensor's performance and the durability of the material.

How do I clean the rose gold coating?

Wipe the rose gold coated stainless steel with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly afterwards. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

What happens if the sensor gets damaged?

The sensor is delicate. If it sustains a significant knock or impact, it may cease to function. Careful handling and placement are advised. Contact customer support if the sensor is damaged and requires repair or replacement.

Does the bin come with batteries?

No, the bin requires 4 x AA batteries, which are not included with the product.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not open automatically.

Check that 4 x AA batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient power. Clean the sensor eye with a soft cloth. Ensure there is enough clear space in front of the sensor.

Lid closes too quickly or not at all.

Ensure the sensor area is clean and free from obstruction. Replace the batteries if they are low. Verify the bin is not in direct sunlight.

Sensor is overly sensitive or opens randomly.

Relocate the bin to an area with less environmental interference (e.g., away from heat sources or strong air currents). Ensure the sensor is clean.

Lid is noisy when closing.

The soft-close mechanism should prevent loud noises. If it is loud, check that the lid is not obstructed and that batteries are functional. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Hygienic touch-free operation with motion sensor.
  • Generous 58L capacity is ideal for families.
  • Soft-close mechanism reduces noise disruption.
  • Durable stainless steel build ensures longevity.
  • Stylish design with rose gold accents.

Cons

  • Sensor requires regular cleaning and careful placement.
  • Sensor can be rendered useless by knocks.
  • Batteries (4 x AA) are not included.
  • Colour may vary slightly from images due to manufacturing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To power the sensor, insert 4 x AA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment, typically located on the underside of the lid. Once batteries are installed, the motion sensor should be active.

Compatibility: This bin is designed for general household waste. It is not compatible with recycling streams that require sorting within the bin itself.

Care:

  1. Sensor Maintenance: Regularly wipe the sensor eye with a soft, damp cloth to ensure optimal performance. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Body Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel body with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. For the colour coating, wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
  3. Placement: Position the bin in an area that is not exposed to direct sunlight, as this can affect sensor accuracy. Ensure there is sufficient space (at least 6 inches) in front of the sensor for it to detect movement.
  4. Handling: Be mindful that the sensor mechanism is delicate. Avoid knocking or dropping the lid or bin, as this could damage the sensor.
