Tanova Simplex Kitchen Waste Bin Systems
Description

FIT’s range of Tanova Simplex Kitchen Waste Bin Systems are space-efficient and practical, staying out of sight, yet easily accessed when needed. The Simplex pull out kitchen waste bin range features soft close medium weight ball bearing runners that are sturdy and reliable for residential situations.

Powder coated electro-galv steel frames and baskets are fabricated in Auckland by FIT’s partners at FEL Group.

For kitchen cabinets from 200mm to 450mm, the Simplex pull out kitchen waste bin options include some to attach to a fixed ‘drawer’ front, some to install behind a hinged door. Soft close is standard, with some models also offering push to option.

The Tanova Simplex range is more cost effective than the premium Designer Series range, but nevertheless offers an extensive range of bucket configurations for all needs; from simple 1 bucket units up to 4 bucket models to handle recyclables sorting. 20L and 36L buckets are made in Christchurch at Talbot. Other buckets are imported from Italy.

In addition, there are Simplex Plus options for 400mm and 450mm cabinets plus ‘frame and bucket’ models designed for compatibility with Legrabox drawers (350mm, 450mm 500mm and 600mm cabinets). Tanova Simplex and Simplex Plus kitchen bin systems with 20L and/or 360L buckets carry the official NZ Made licence.

Limitations on Use

Suitable for residential use, taking into account the following:

  • For kitchen bins, if using a liner, take care to ensure the liner does not become entangled in the unit’s drawer runners.
  • Regularly remove crumbs, sticky residue or other matter from near and on runners using a soft brush or damp cloth.
  • Be familiar with the load capacity of the Tanova unit and do not exceed it.
  • When opening and closing the Tanova unit or when adding items to the bucket, do not apply strong downward force (such as pushing waste down with force to pack more into the bucket) as this may damage the runners.
  • Take care not to damage painted surface of the metal frames with hard or metallic objects. If the paint becomes chipped, it is recommended that the chip is repaired with a touch-up paint as recommended by a reputable paint supplier.
  • Do not use caustic cleaners on any part of the Tanova unit.
  • Some dishwasher powders are particularly caustic, as are dry salt, salt water and any citrus juice. If they spill onto the Tanova unit frame, remove the powder promptly with a soft brush or damp cloth taking care to re-wipe the surface clean after rinsing cloth free of substance.
  • Painted steel parts — clean with a soft brush or cloth, using warm water and a mild soap such as dishwashing liquid, which will help break down any stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Powder coated aluminium parts — clean with a soft brush or cloth, using warm water and a mild soap such as dishwashing liquid, which will help break down any stains. Avoid harsh chemicals. Wiping with a microfibre cloth is also a good dusting/cleaning method.
  • Plastic buckets — to avoid odours, regularly wash out with warm water and dishwashing liquid, rinse well and dry. If possible, leaving to dry in the sun is a great idea.
  • Plastic buckets are dishwasher safe.
  • Refer to the Care & Maintenance document for further detail.
