FAQs
What type of batteries does the bin use?
The specific battery requirements are detailed in the product manual; typically, these units require standard AA or D cell batteries.
Can I use standard bin liners with this bin?
Yes, any standard 16L or 20L bin liner will fit, provided you tuck the excess bag edges inside to allow the lid to seat properly.
Is the bin waterproof?
The bin is water-resistant, but the lid housing contains electronic components and should never be submerged in water or placed under running taps.
How do I turn the sensor off?
Most models feature an on/off switch on the back or underside of the lid assembly to deactivate the motor when you need to change the bag.
Is the green colour finish durable?
The finish is designed for home use and is resistant to scuffs, though it should be cleaned with non-abrasive cloths to maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
The lid does not open automatically
Check the battery levels and ensure they are installed correctly. Also, clean the sensor eye with a dry, lint-free cloth.
The lid remains open for too long
Ensure there are no objects obstructing the sensor's line of sight or within its active range.
The lid moves sluggishly
This is often a sign of low battery power; replace the batteries with a fresh set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Insert the required batteries into the compartment located on the underside of the lid.
Liners: Use standard 16L to 20L bin liners. Ensure the bag is tucked neatly inside the rim to allow the sensor lid to close fully without obstruction.
Placement: Place the unit on a flat, dry surface away from direct water splashes to protect the sensor electronics.
Cleaning: Wipe the exterior body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the lid assembly in water, as it contains the motor and electronic sensors. Use a mild surface cleaner if necessary, but keep liquids away from the sensor eye.
