6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Automatic Cleaning
The litter box is equipped with sensors that detect when your cat has used it. After a set delay (customizable via the app), the automatic scooping mechanism will activate to clean the litter. The 'imitation artificial arm "shovel" move' efficiently separates waste from clean litter, depositing it into the waste collection bin.

6.2 UV Sterilization
The litter box features a UV disinfection system to kill germs and reduce odors. This can be activated manually or set on a schedule via the app. A 6-minute UV sterilization cycle is highly effective.
