Using this waste receptacle is easy. Just open the door using the provided key, place your waste inside, and let the self - closing panel do its job. When it's time to empty the bin, unlock the door and take out the waste. Make sure to keep the key in a safe place to prevent unauthorized access. For maintenance, wipe the matte black finish with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking good. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the powder - coated surface. If you need to remove the skirt for recessed mounting, do it carefully following the instructions. And always check the wall opening dimensions before installation to ensure a proper fit.
