FAQs
Does this bin include a soft-close lid?
The NewIcon range features a smooth opening operation, though the specific soft-close capability can vary by production series; check the lid movement after installation.
Can I use standard grocery store bags as liners?
While standard small plastic bags may work, using liners specifically designed for 5-liter bins will provide a cleaner look and a better fit.
Is the bin suitable for outdoor use?
It is designed primarily for indoor use; placing it outdoors may expose the gold finish to moisture and environmental damage.
How do I remove the inner bucket?
Simply open the lid fully and lift the inner bucket handle to slide it out of the outer metal housing.
Does the finish tarnish over time?
With proper care—wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth—the gold finish will maintain its appearance for years.
Troubleshooting
The lid does not close completely.
Check if the bin liner is caught between the lid and the rim, or ensure the inner bucket is pushed fully down into the housing.
The pedal feels stiff or does not open the lid.
Inspect the hinge mechanism for any debris or obstructions and ensure the pedal rod has not been nudged out of alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your NewIcon bin is straightforward: simply remove the packaging, insert the inner bucket, and position the bin in your desired location. For best results, use standard small-sized bin liners that fit the 5-liter internal dimensions. To keep the gold finish looking pristine, wipe the exterior regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or dull the metallic surface. The removable inner bucket should be cleaned separately with warm water to maintain hygiene.
