Care and Cleaning
SENSOR COVERS
The two sensors located on side panel interiors are protected by sensor covers
that need to be kept dust free. After changing or adding litter, always wipe each
sensor with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust (Fig. 7).

LITTER TRAY
Use only hard clumping litter. Lesser quality litters will impair performance.
To empty and clean litter tray:
• Check to make sure rake is in home position.
• Turn On/Off button to "off" position.
• Unplug unit and remove batteries to prevent accidental activation of unit.
• Lift latches on both sides of unit and lift (Fig. 8a). This will separate tray from
main housing (Fig. 8b).
Important: Do not lift the main housing by the latches.

• Dispose of the used litter. To ensure proper disposal of litter, follow
manufacturer's instructions on litter package. Wipe the litter tray with a damp
cloth. If further cleaning is necessary, the litter tray can be fully immersed in
water and washed with a mild detergent.
Important: Do not soak or immerse main housing in water. Dry unit
completely before reassembling.
• Before reassembling, spray litter tray surface with nonstick cooking spray
or silicone spray, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth. This will help to prevent waste
clumps from adhering to surface of the tray.
To reassemble:
• Place litter tray on a flat surface. Carefully lower main housing onto litter tray.
Engage the two locks by pressing lower part of each latch firmly against tabs
on litter tray until a click is heard to indicate that both sections are locked into
place.
