4. Operating Instructions
Automatic Cleaning
The litter box is designed to automatically clean after your cat uses it. The cleaning cycle typically lasts 60 seconds and can be set to run up to 5 times per day via the app. This eliminates the need for manual scooping.
App Remote Control
Use the Pokpaw app to:
- Initiate a cleaning cycle manually.
- Set cleaning schedules.
- Monitor your cat's usage and weight (Cat Weight +10g detection).
- Receive alerts and warnings.
- Activate Kitten Mode.
Kitten Mode
For kittens under 6 months or weighing less than 1kg, activate Kitten Mode via the app. In this mode, the litter box will not automatically clean after use. This helps prevent startling young cats and allows owners to monitor their kitten's stool for health issues.
Quiet Operation
The Pokpaw CL23 operates at a whisper-quiet level of ≤ 35dB, ensuring it does not disturb your household or your cat.

- Pull out the waste drawer located at the bottom front of the unit.
- Remove the full garbage bag, tie it securely, and dispose of it.
- Place a new garbage bag in the drawer and slide it back into the unit until it clicks into place.

Common Issues
- Unit not cleaning: Check power connection, ensure the waste drawer is correctly inserted, and verify no cat is currently inside the box. Check app for error messages.
- Odor persists: Ensure the deodorizing block is fresh and the waste bin is emptied regularly. Consider changing litter type if odor is still an issue.
