Setup Instructions

Unpacking and Initial Placement

1. Open the package and remove the fixing tape from the front and back sides of the machine. The collection bin is placed diagonally in the drum, the accessory box is placed inside the collection bin, and the filter screen is placed above the collection bin.
2. Take out the filter screen, accessory box, and collection bin in order. Remove the support legs, cat litter bags, deodorant box, manual, adapter, and brush from the accessory box.

Assembling Components

3. Set the locking switch on the side of the bearing cover from "OFF" to "ON" to unlock the internal lock. After unlocking, lift the bearing cover and remove it. Then lift the drum and remove the pearl cotton from the bottom of the drum.
4. Install the filter screen at the bottom edge of the drum baffle, with the curvature of the filter screen facing inward. Insert one side into the hole of the drum baffle, slightly bend the filter screen, and insert the other side into the hole as well, while also hooking the upper hole of the filter screen onto the clip of the drum Buckle.
5. Install the support legs. Insert the four support legs directly into the installation holes on the bottom of the unit. You should hear a "click" sound when each leg is securely installed. Make sure to match each support leg to the corresponding mark on the bottom of the machine (L-L, R-R). Do not install the legs in the wrong direction. Ensure all legs are securely in place and the unit is level. Improper installation may result in the machine being unstable or malfunctioning.
6. Install the roller and bearing cover. Lower the roller into place, ensuring the bearings on both sides are aligned and properly inserted into the card slots. Reattach the bearing cover, making sure both sides are securely in place. Set the lock switch on the side of the shaft cap from "ON" to "OFF" to lock the bearing cover.

Waste Bin and Power Connection

7. Take out a trash bag and place it over the waste collection bin at the bottom, ensuring the bag is smooth with no protrusions and the edges are facing downward. Insert the fragrance pack into the slot located at the front of the waste collection bin.
8. The bottom of the machine has two sliding rails. During installation, push the waste collection bin along these rails from the front entrance at the base of the machine. If the waste collection bin is not properly installed, the three indicator lights on the control panel will flash rapidly.
9. Insert the DC plug of the power adapter into the DC port on the back of the machine, then plug the adapter into a power outlet to turn the unit on.

Litter and Placement

10. Pour the cat litter into the top opening of the litter box.
11. After adding the cat litter, you need to unplug the power and restart the machine or use the cleaning button on the machine to clean once.
12. This smart litter box is equipped with a gravity sensor. Place it on a hard, level floor. Do not place it against a wall, and ensure there is at least 5cm of space between the unit and the wall.

Troubleshooting

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Can this smart cat litter box use any kind of cat litter?

  A: The smart cat litter box is suitable for clumping cat litter, such as mixed litter, bentonite litter, sodium-based mineral litter, tofu litter, etc. We strongly recommend using clumping cat litter (large-particle pine litter and crystal litter are not suitable), as this will allow the smart litter box to clean more effectively.

• Q: Can this litter box completely eliminate odors?

  A: It is impossible to completely eliminate odors. However, because the cat's waste is promptly cleaned into the drawer's cat litter bag, it helps contain the odor, significantly reducing the smell emitted from the smart litter box.

• Q: Will clean litter and clumped litter be removed together?

  A: If you add too much litter, clean litter and clumped litter may be removed together. Reducing the amount of litter will help avoid this issue.

• Q: What if my cat doesn't enter the smart litter box?

  A: Our smart litter box is simple and user-friendly, so there's no need to worry. In such cases, most cats will adapt to the new litter box within a month. You can also place your cat's favorite toys inside the litter box to help them become familiar with the environment. Spend a few minutes each time teaching your cat how to use it. We believe your cat is smart and will quickly learn and adapt.

User Tips

• Litter Type: For optimal performance, always use clumping cat litter. Avoid large-particle pine or crystal litters.
• Odor Control: While the system reduces odor, ensure regular waste bag changes and proper placement of the deodorant box for best results.
• Cat Adaptation: If your cat is hesitant to use the new litter box, try placing familiar toys inside or gradually transitioning them by placing the new box next to their old one.
• Litter Level: Monitor the litter level to prevent clean litter from being removed with clumps. Adjust as needed.
