Troubleshooting
Lid not opening automatically
Check that the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Ensure the sensor is clean and free from obstructions. Make sure you are within the sensor's range (typically a few inches) and waving your hand clearly.
Lid not closing automatically
Verify that the batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted. Check if the manual 'on/off' switch has been accidentally activated, placing the bin in manual mode. Ensure nothing is obstructing the lid's path.
Sensor is too sensitive or not sensitive enough
Clean the sensor lens. Some models may have sensitivity adjustments; consult the product manual if available. Ensure there are no strong light sources or heat vents directly in front of the sensor.
Bin liner is slipping
Ensure the bin liner retainer ring is correctly fitted and holding the liner securely. Use a liner that is the appropriate size and thickness for the bin's capacity.
Unpleasant odors are still noticeable
Ensure the lid is closing fully and the seal is intact. Check that the bin liner is tied securely before removal. Clean the interior of the bin regularly.
