Step 3: Using Both Grey Latches, Pull Out the Waste Cartridge

Once the orange latch is unlocked, look at the top of the cartridge, where two grey latches with orange stickers are situated. Using two fingers, push down on these latches to allow the waste cartridge to be easily rolled out of its place.

Step 4: Insert New Waste Cartridge

With the old waste cartridge removed, it’s time to use a new one. Sit the replacement cartridge into the designated spots at the bottom, ensuring a secure fit with the black foot holders. Tilt the entire cartridge up into place. Give it a good push to ensure both top latches click into place, guaranteeing the proper installation of the new waste cartridge.
