Product Details & Specifications

Usage & Application Guide

Place the trash bin upright on a flat floor surface against a wall or kitchen island, ensuring at least 37 inches of vertical clearance for the lid to open fully. To install a new trash liner, lift the lid, pull out the inner plastic bucket by its built-in handles, tuck a fresh 13-gallon trash bag into the bucket, and press any excess liner into the bag fixer slot before sliding the bucket back into the outer steel shell. To activate hands-free opening during meal prep or cleaning, step firmly on the wide stainless steel pedal, or gently push the lid back to a 90-degree angle to hold it open continuously until you are finished.

FAQ

Q: What type of deodorizer or air filter fits inside the deodorizer compartment?

A: The underside of the lid features a dedicated mesh holder designed to accept standard activated charcoal odor-absorbing pads or carbon filter inserts. These filters absorb trapped food and organic odors to keep kitchen air fresh between bag replacements.

Q: Do I need to buy specialized EKO trash bags, or can I use standard kitchen bags?

A: While the trash can comes with bonus sample EKO Code F custom liners for a tailored fit, the inner bucket is sized to work with any standard 13-gallon tall kitchen drawstring trash bags available at local grocery stores.

Q: How do I clean the matte black stainless steel exterior without scratching it?

A: Thanks to the fingerprint-resistant coating, routine cleaning only requires wiping the exterior with a soft microfiber cloth dampened with warm water. Avoid abrasive scouring pads, bleach, or harsh chemical sprays, as they can degrade the protective anti-fingerprint coating over time.
