Add Cat Litter When Needed
Start by making sure your cat always has enough clean litter to use—this is the foundation of a comfortable and sanitary litter box experience.
-
When the litter level drops below 60%, it's time to add more litter.
-
Do not exceed the internal "100%" marking line to avoid performance issues.
-
The system will level the litter and update readings about one minute after refilling.
-
If using a different litter type, recalibrate for accurate detection.
-
Press the “Level” button for instant leveling, or wait for auto-adjustment.
Waste Bin Cleaning & Maintenance
Manage waste disposal to prevent odors and ensure smooth operation.
1. Empty and Clean the Waste Bin
Empty the bin every 7 to 10 days for one cat. In hot weather, reduce to every 7 days to avoid flies. Strong odors may develop from prolonged storage.
2. Replace the Trash Bag
Always insert a new trash bag after cleaning. If the “Empty” button flashes red, the trash bag may be blocking the infrared sensor.
Empty All Cat Litter Monthly
Give your litter box a full reset each month for thorough cleaning.
-
Press and hold the “Empty” button for 3 seconds to dump all litter.
-
Clean the litter box and waste bin thoroughly every month.
-
Ensure enough space in the waste bin to avoid door jamming.
Deep Clean the Litter Chamber
Now that the litter is emptied, wash the chamber thoroughly. Unplug the power before cleaning. The device will reconnect automatically when powered back on.
-
Unlock and remove the side covers of the litter chamber.
-
Rinse with water or clean with a soft brush. Dry upright with the opening facing up to avoid water retention.
Cleaning the Main Unit
Clean the exterior to maintain a neat, functioning appearance.
-
Never rinse the main unit with water.
-
Use a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
-
Avoid pressing the door to prevent warping or malfunction.
Replacing Litter Box Accessories
Regular replacement of accessories keeps the system hygienic and efficient.
| Accessory | Recommended Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cat Litter | 1 bag/month (≈8kg) | Maintain freshness and odor control |
| Silicone Pad | Every 6 months | Durable but can scratch from cat claws |
| Waste Bags | 1 roll per season | Replace regularly for a clean cycle |
| Deodorizer Crystals | 1 bag/week per cat | Multi-cat homes may need more; stock up quarterly |
