Using this waste bin is easy. Just open the trash bag, hang it on the liner hooks, and start tossing your waste into the open top. When it's time to empty the bin, simply remove the full trash bag and replace it with a new one. For maintenance, wipe the satin - finish stainless steel surface regularly with a mild cleaner to keep it looking shiny. Make sure to check the rubber feet and vinyl wall bumper from time to time for any signs of wear and tear. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the stainless steel. Also, don't overload the bin beyond its 13 - gallon capacity to prevent spills.
