- Opening the Lid (Pedal Operation): Gently step on the pedal located at the base of the trash can. The lid will open smoothly, allowing for hands-free disposal of waste.
- Slow-Closing Lid: Release the pedal, and the lid will close slowly and quietly due to the integrated oil damper. This prevents slamming and reduces noise.
- Holding the Lid Open: To keep the lid open for extended periods, such as when changing the trash bag or disposing of larger items, lift the lid manually to its highest position. It will remain open until manually closed.
