Using this Bobrick waste receptacle is a breeze. Simply open the door using the provided key, place your waste inside, and let the self-closing panel do the rest. For best results, make sure not to overload the bin beyond its 11.3L capacity. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep the matte black finish looking great. If you want to do a deeper clean, use a mild stainless - steel cleaner. When removing or reinstalling the skirt for recessed mounting, be careful not to damage the unit. Keep the key in a safe place to avoid any issues with accessing the bin.
