FAQs

How do I activate the hands-free mode?

Simply approach the bin, and the lid will automatically open. A wave of your hand in front of the sensor will also trigger it. The lid will close automatically after a few seconds of inactivity.

What size bin liners should I use?

This bin is designed for 50-liter capacity bin liners. Using liners of this size will ensure a proper fit and secure placement with the retainer ring.

Can I use the bin without batteries?

Yes, you can use the manual open/close buttons to operate the lid if the batteries are depleted or if you prefer not to use the sensor function.

Where can I buy replacement charcoal filters?

Charcoal filters can be purchased from most homeware stores or directly from the Tower website. Check the product packaging or manual for specific filter recommendations.

How long do the batteries typically last?

Battery life can vary depending on usage frequency. With average household use, a set of 4x AA batteries can last several months.

How do I clean the sensor area?

Gently wipe the sensor area with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a cloth that is only very slightly damp, ensuring no water gets into the internal components of the lid.

What is the warranty period?

The bin comes with a standard 1-year manufacturer's guarantee. You can extend this to a total of 3 years by registering your product online with Tower.

Troubleshooting

Sensor does not open the lid.

Ensure the power switch is on. Check that the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Clean the sensor lens gently with a dry cloth. Ensure there are no obstructions in the sensor's path.

Lid does not close automatically.

Verify that the batteries are functioning. Ensure no objects are preventing the lid from closing. Reset the bin by turning the power switch off and then on again.

Unpleasant odors persist.

Ensure a charcoal filter is properly installed in the lid compartment and that it is not expired or saturated. Replace the charcoal filter if necessary. Clean the interior of the bin thoroughly.

Bin liner slips down.

Make sure the bin liner retainer ring is correctly installed and securely holding the liner. Try using a slightly larger or stronger bin liner.

Manual buttons are unresponsive.

Check the battery power. Ensure the bin is powered on. If problems persist, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Install Batteries: Open the battery compartment located in the base of the lid. Insert 4x AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.
  2. Insert Bin Liner: Lift the bin liner retainer ring. Place a suitable 50L bin liner over the inner rim of the bin. Fold the excess liner material over the retainer ring and re-insert the ring to secure the liner.
  3. Optional - Install Charcoal Filter: Open the small compartment within the lid base. Insert a compatible charcoal filter (sold separately) into the designated slot. Close the compartment.
  4. Power On: Locate the power switch, usually on the back or side of the bin base, and turn it to the 'On' position.

Compatibility:

  • Bin Liners: Compatible with standard 50-liter bin liners. Ensure liners are strong enough for the capacity.
  • Batteries: Requires 4x AA batteries.
  • Charcoal Filters: Compatible with Tower-brand charcoal filters or standard-sized odor-absorbing filters designed for bin lids.

Care:

  • Body: Wipe the exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the PP body.
  • Lid and Sensor: Gently wipe the sensor area with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure no moisture enters the battery compartment.
  • Retainer Ring: Remove and clean the retainer ring periodically to prevent residue buildup.
  • Odor Filter: Replace the charcoal filter as needed, typically every 1-3 months depending on usage and environmental conditions.
