Using this waste receptacle is easy. Just open the dual swing door on the top and toss your waste inside. When it's time to empty it, simply lift the removable top. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the stainless - steel surface. Make sure to check the rubber feet from time to time and replace them if they show signs of wear. Place the receptacle on a flat surface to prevent it from tipping over.
