PetSafe Simply Clean Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box

Introduction

The PetSafe Simply Clean Self-Cleaning Litter Box is an innovative, automatic litter box designed to maintain a fresh and clean environment for your cat without manual scooping. Its quiet, slow-moving conveyor system efficiently sifts litter and removes waste, depositing them into a covered waste bin. A full rotation takes approximately one and a half hours, with waste removal occurring every 30 minutes. The covered waste bin helps reduce odors, and a replaceable carbon filter provides an additional layer of odor defense. The system features a whisper-quiet motor and an LED light indicator to confirm operation. This system is compatible with premium clumping cat litter and can use recycled plastic shopping bags for convenient, hygienic waste disposal.

Setup Instructions

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure all components, including the main unit, rotating bowl, waste bin, and power adapter, are present and undamaged.
2. Position the Litter Box: Place the litter box on a level surface in a suitable location, away from high-traffic areas to minimize disturbances.
3. Assemble the Unit:
   • Insert the rotating bowl into the base unit. Ensure it is seated correctly and can rotate freely.
   • Place the waste bin into its designated slot. For easy disposal, line the waste bin with a recycled plastic shopping bag or a compatible liner.
   • Install the carbon filter into the designated slot within the waste bin cover or main unit, as per the diagram.
4. Add Litter: Fill the rotating bowl with premium clumping cat litter. Do not overfill; ensure the litter level is below the maximum fill line indicated inside the bowl.
5. Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the unit and then into a standard electrical outlet. The LED indicator light should illuminate, typically green, to show it is operational.

Operating Instructions

The PetSafe Simply Clean system operates automatically to keep your cat's litter box clean. Once powered on, the unit will begin its cleaning cycle.

• Automatic Cleaning Cycle: The rotating bowl will slowly turn, sifting the clumping litter. This process removes solid waste and clumps, depositing them into the covered waste bin. A full rotation takes approximately one and a half hours, with waste removal occurring every 30 minutes.
• Quiet Operation: The motor is designed for quiet operation, ensuring minimal disturbance to your household and pets.
• LED Indicator: A green LED light indicates that the system is functioning correctly. Refer to the Troubleshooting section if the light changes color or blinks.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your PetSafe Simply Clean Litter Box.

• Emptying the Waste Bin: The waste bin should be emptied regularly, typically once a week for a single cat, or more frequently depending on usage. Simply remove the bin, tie off the bag (if used), and dispose of the waste.
• Replacing the Carbon Filter: The replaceable carbon filter helps control odors. Replace the filter as needed, usually every few weeks, or when you notice increased odor.
• Cleaning the Bowl and Unit:
  • Unplug the unit before cleaning.
  • Periodically, remove the rotating bowl and clean it with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling.
  • Wipe down the main unit with a damp cloth. Avoid getting water into electrical components.
  • Every two months, it is recommended to disassemble the unit and hose out the inner pan to prevent "litter cement" buildup, which can affect motor function. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly.
  • Vacuum fine dust from the motor area, being careful not to dislodge small roller wheels that support the litter pan.
• Litter Replacement: Completely replace the litter in the bowl every 2-3 weeks, or as needed, to maintain hygiene and odor control.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PetSafe Simply Clean Litter Box, refer to the following common solutions:

• Blue Blinking Light: A blinking blue light often indicates that the waste bin is not properly seated or the top lid has been dislodged. Ensure the waste bin is fully inserted and the lid is securely in place, pressing firmly until the light turns green.
• Red Light: A red light typically signals an error or obstruction. Check for any foreign objects in the rotating mechanism or if the waste bin is full and needs emptying. Ensure the unit is correctly assembled and all parts are aligned.
• Clicking or Grinding Noise: This noise can occur if litter or debris has entered the drive sprocket or other moving parts. Unplug the unit, carefully inspect the mechanism, and clean any obstructions. Regular cleaning of the inner pan can prevent this.
• Unit Not Operating:
  • Verify the power adapter is securely plugged into both the unit and the electrical outlet.
  • Check if the LED light is illuminated (green for normal operation). If not, ensure the unit is receiving power.
  • Confirm that the rotating bowl and waste bin are correctly installed and aligned, as the unit has safety sensors.
• Odor Issues: Ensure the carbon filter is clean and replaced regularly. Check that the waste bin is emptied frequently and its lid is properly closed to contain odors.
