Troubleshooting
Sensor not opening the lid
Check that the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient power. Ensure the sensor eye is clean and unobstructed. Verify you are within the optimal sensing range (refer to product manual).
Lid not closing properly
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the lid from closing. Check the battery level, as low power can affect mechanism operation. Inspect the hinges or mechanism for any damage.
Bin exterior shows smudges
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth using mild soap if necessary, then dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots and streaks. The fingerprint-resistant coating is most effective when cleaned regularly.

Ensure the outer bin is on a stable surface. Check for any debris caught between the inner and outer bins. If it persists, verify you are aligning the inner bucket correctly before insertion.
