Operating Instructions

The PetSafe ScoopFree Crystal Pro is designed for automatic operation. After your cat uses the litter box, the motion sensors detect their presence. A timer initiates a cleaning cycle approximately 20 minutes after your cat exits the box, allowing the crystal litter to absorb moisture and dehydrate solid waste.

Health Counter

The integrated health counter tracks the number of times your cat uses the litter box. This feature can help you monitor your cat's health and habits. The LCD display shows the current count.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and effective operation of your PetSafe ScoopFree Crystal Pro litter box.

Replacing the Litter Tray

The disposable crystal litter tray should be replaced every few weeks, depending on the number of cats and their usage. When it's time to replace the tray:

  1. Unplug the litter box from the power outlet.
  2. Carefully remove the used litter tray from the unit. The tray comes with a lid for easy and hygienic disposal.
