3.2 Securing the Hinge Mechanism

After attaching the top and bottom sections‚ ensure the hinge mechanism is securely locked. Hold the top at a 45-degree angle and align the hinge pins with the corresponding slots on the bottom section. Press down gently until you hear a distinct click‚ indicating the hinge is properly engaged. Verify that the mechanism is stable by opening and closing the lid smoothly. A secure hinge ensures the Diaper Genie operates efficiently and maintains odor containment.

Avoid using force‚ as this may damage the hinge or surrounding components.

3.3 Preparing the Liner Refill

To prepare the liner refill‚ start by pulling out approximately 18 inches of film from the refill cartridge. Tie a secure overhand knot at the bottom of the liner to prevent diapers from falling out. This step ensures the liner is ready for proper installation. Once the knot is tied‚ carefully place the liner inside the Diaper Genie‚ making sure the knotted end is positioned at the bottom of the unit. The built-in clamp will hold the liner in place‚ ensuring it’s ready for use.

3.4 Placing the Liner Inside the Diaper Genie

Open the Diaper Genie by lifting the lid. Carefully insert the prepared liner‚ ensuring the knotted end is positioned at the bottom of the unit. Gently pull the liner downward to align it with the clamp mechanism. Press the liner through the clamp until it secures in place. Make sure the liner is not twisted and lies flat within the Diaper Genie. Once properly positioned‚ close the lid to complete the installation. The Diaper Genie is now ready to store soiled diapers effectively.

3.5 Closing the Lid and Finalizing Assembly

Once the liner is correctly positioned‚ close the Diaper Genie lid firmly to ensure it locks in place. Verify that the lid aligns properly with the bottom section and clicks securely. Check that the clamp is in the correct position to seal the liner effectively. Ensure all parts are tightly secured and the system is stable. Your Diaper Genie is now fully assembled and ready for use. Double-check that the lid closes smoothly and the mechanism functions properly before adding dirty diapers.

Using the Diaper Genie

Roll diapers tightly‚ ensuring adhesive tabs face inward to prevent tearing the liner. Use the foot pedal for hands-free operation‚ insert the diaper‚ and close the clamp securely to seal odors effectively.

4.1 Rolling Diapers for Optimal Storage

Rolling diapers tightly is essential for maximizing storage capacity in the Diaper Genie. Start by folding the adhesive tabs inward to prevent them from sticking to the liner or causing tears. Roll the diaper into a compact shape‚ either oblong or round‚ ensuring it’s as tight as possible. This method minimizes space usage and allows more diapers to fit before emptying. Securing the tabs inward also helps prevent accidental openings and keeps odors locked in. The tighter the roll‚ the more efficient the storage‚ especially for newborn-sized diapers‚ which fit more compactly than larger ones.

4.2 Inserting Dirty Diapers into the Genie

Lift the lid of the Diaper Genie and insert the rolled diaper through the clamp. Ensure the clamp closes completely after insertion to seal the diaper and lock in odors. The system will automatically twist the liner to create a separate compartment for each diaper. For best results‚ roll diapers tightly and secure adhesive tabs inward to prevent tearing the liner. This method ensures efficient storage and minimizes odors. The Diaper Genie can hold up to 34 newborn diapers before needing to be emptied.

4.3 Ensuring the Clamp Closes Properly

After inserting a dirty diaper‚ ensure the clamp closes completely to seal the odor. Listen for a distinct click to confirm it’s shut. Proper closure prevents leaks and maintains the system’s odor-locking effectiveness. For best results‚ roll diapers tightly and tuck adhesive tabs inward to avoid tearing the liner. If the clamp doesn’t close easily‚ check for obstructions or improper alignment. A secure clamp ensures optimal performance and keeps your nursery fresh. Regularly inspect and clean the clamp area to maintain functionality.

4.4 Capacity and When to Empty

The Diaper Genie’s capacity varies based on diaper size and rolling efficiency. It typically holds around 34 newborn diapers‚ with fewer as diapers grow larger. Empty the Genie when resistance is felt while pushing a diaper through the clamp or when the liner is visibly full. Avoid overfilling‚ as this can cause odors to escape or the clamp to malfunction. Regular emptying ensures optimal odor control and system performance. Check the liner’s fullness periodically to maintain efficiency and prevent overflow.

Emptying the Diaper Genie

Emptying the Diaper Genie involves removing the full liner‚ cutting it with the built-in cutter‚ tying a knot‚ and disposing of the bag. Prepare for next use by pulling out fresh liner and securing it with a knot.

5.1 Removing the Full Liner

To remove the full liner‚ first unhinge the top section of the Diaper Genie from the bottom by pressing the release button. Carefully pull the liner upwards‚ ensuring it doesn’t tear. Once removed‚ tie a secure knot at the top of the liner to contain the soiled diapers. Dispose of the bag in an outdoor trash can to maintain hygiene. Always wear gloves when handling soiled liners to prevent direct contact with waste. Proper disposal helps keep your environment clean and odor-free. Make sure the bag is tightly sealed before throwing it away.

5.2 Cutting the Liner with the Built-In Cutter

After unhinging the top‚ locate the built-in cutter mechanism inside the Diaper Genie. Pull the full liner taut and align it with the cutter. Gently press down to sever the liner just above the soiled diapers. Ensure the cut is clean and complete to prevent any leaks. Once cut‚ tie a knot at the top of the liner to secure the contents. This step ensures easy and mess-free disposal of the soiled diapers. Always handle the cutter with care to avoid injury or damage to the unit.

5.3 Tying a Knot to Secure the Liner

To secure the liner‚ tie a tight overhand knot at the top of the cut liner‚ leaving about 3-4 inches of space above the diapers. Ensure the knot is snug to prevent any leaks or spills. If the knot isn’t secure‚ the contents may fall out when disposing. After tying‚ carefully lift the bag and dispose of it in your trash. This step is crucial for maintaining hygiene and preventing odors from escaping. Always double-check the knot before disposal to ensure a mess-free experience.

• Leave enough space at the top for the knot.
• Pull the knot tight to seal the liner properly.
• If unsure‚ test the knot’s security before disposal.

5.4 Disposing of the Full Bag

Once the liner is tied‚ carefully lift the full bag out of the Diaper Genie and dispose of it in your trash. Ensure the knot is secure to prevent spills. For optimal hygiene‚ consider using a separate trash can for soiled diapers. Dispose of the bag in accordance with local waste regulations to maintain cleanliness and prevent odor spread. Always wash your hands after handling waste.

• Lift the bag gently to avoid tearing.
• Dispose of the bag in a sealed trash can.
• Wash hands thoroughly after disposal.

5.5 Preparing for Next Use

After disposing of the full bag‚ pull out 18 inches of the liner from the Diaper Genie. Tie a secure knot at the bottom of the new liner to prevent leaks. Ensure the knot is tight and positioned below the clamp. Close the lid and press down to lock it in place. Leave enough space at the top for the next knot. This ensures the system is ready for the next use‚ maintaining hygiene and efficiency. Pro tip: Always check the liner’s length before closing to avoid issues during disposal.

• Pull out 18 inches of liner.
• Tie a knot at the bottom.
• Close and secure the lid.
