Introduction
Congratulations on your new purchase and thank you for choosing Dihl.
Your new sensor bin is brilliant for if you have your hands full or are preparing food and don’t wish to
touch the bin lid. Comprises 2 x 25L bins - more than enough room for all your recyclables.Suitable for
a range of recycling requirements including general household waste, glass, paper, cans & food
waste.
The sensor will recognise your presence and open the bin for you. Once you are around 15cm away
from the bin, the timer will count down 5 seconds and close the lid automatically for you.

USING THE APPLIANCE
Dihl sensor bins send out invisible pulses of light (infrared) that hit nearby objects. Once an object is
around 15cm away from the sensor, the light will bounce back and trigger the sensor to lift the bin lid.
