Quick answer
Setting up your Diaper Genie Classic Pail takes about 5 minutes. You just need to assemble the pail, install the included Starter Square Refill, and it's ready for first use.
What you need before you start
The Diaper Genie Classic Pail comes with everything you need for the initial setup: the pail body, lid, and one Starter Square Refill. No tools are required. Make sure you have a clear, flat spot near your changing area where the pail can sit without tipping.
Step-by-step setup instructions
- Unbox and assemble the pail: Remove the Diaper Genie Classic Pail from the box. Place the pail body on a level surface. Snap the lid onto the pail until you hear a click. The lid is designed for one-handed operation, so make sure it is securely attached. Common mistake: forcing the lid on backward. The lid only fits one way; align the hinge notch before pressing down.
- Open the lid and prepare the refill: Press the button on top of the lid to open it. Take the Starter Square Refill and pull the first diaper-length section of plastic from the center of the refill. Tie a knot at the very end of the plastic tube to seal the bottom of the bag. Checkpoint: If you forget to tie the knot, diapers will fall to the bottom of the pail and odor control will be compromised.
- Install the refill into the pail: Drop the knotted end of the refill tube into the pail opening. Let the rest of the refill sit loosely inside the pail. Close the lid firmly until it clicks shut. The refill is now in place and the pail is ready for use. Common mistake: pulling the plastic too tight before closing the lid. Leave some slack so the bag can expand as you add diapers.
- Test the one-handed operation: Open the lid using the button on top. Place a diaper inside the pail. Close the lid. The self-sealing mechanism will trap odors inside the refill. No need to touch the bag with your hands. Checkpoint: If the lid does not close smoothly, check that the refill is not bunched up near the hinge.
