Cleaning and maintenance.

Clean stainless steel weekly with a soft cloth, warm water and a mild detergent. DO NOT use steel wool, stainless steel polisher, bleach, salts or acids as these will damage the product. Or use our microfiber mitt, which just uses water on one side to wash and the other dry side to wipe and polish.

Our stickers should not leave residue, but if this happens, remove using adhesive removers such as “Goo-Gone®”, “Un-du®” or “De-solv-it®”. Be sure to rinse the area with water and dry with a soft cloth.

To clean the inner bucket, remove the inner bucket and soak with diluted household bleach and water solution to take away the smell caused by germs and bacteria. Baking soda solution may work too. Most liquid bleach bottles have instructions and directions printed.

Lid is not closing all the way.

The motor needs to be recalibrated.

1. Make sure there is no power to the unit – remove the batteries or unplug the AC adapter's power cable from the sensor can.
2. Manually open the lid.
3. Clean any debris or trash within the hinge gap.
4. Manually close the lid until it is completely flush with the can and hold it completely closed through the next steps.
5. Place your other hand over the motion sensor for 5 seconds to completely drain the electronic memory.
6. Wait 2 minutes and re-insert batteries or plug the unit back in.
7. Please ensure that you are only using one power source. For instance, if you are using the power adapter, do not insert batteries into the unit. If using batteries, do not have the unit plugged in.
8. If these steps don't resolve the issue, repeat step 1 to 3. In addition, apply multi-use lubricants, such as WD-40 across hinge gap. After application, manually open and close the lid for 7 times. Then proceed to step 4 through step 7.
