- 2. Clean sensor window: Locate any small windows or openings inside the bin where an optical sensor may look through. Clean with a dry cotton swab.
- 3. Check flaps: Ensure any internal flaps or doors move freely and are not jammed with debris.

- 5. Replace dustbin: If false full warnings persist, replace the SilverCrest dustbin assembly that contains the dust sensor.
