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:
- Sensor Maintenance: Regularly wipe the sensor eye with a soft, damp cloth to ensure optimal performance. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- 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.
- 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.
- Handling: Be mindful that the sensor mechanism is delicate. Avoid knocking or dropping the lid or bin, as this could damage the sensor.
