Operating Instructions
Automatic Cleaning Cycle
The DOEL Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box automatically detects when your cat has used the litter box and initiates a cleaning cycle after a set delay (typically a few minutes) to allow the litter to clump. The internal mechanism sifts the litter, depositing waste into the sealed waste bin.
Manual Cleaning / Litter Change
To manually initiate a cleaning cycle or empty the litter for a full change, press the 'Clean' button on the control panel. This action will rotate the drum to sift waste or prepare for a full litter replacement.
Odor Removal Function
The device features an integrated ionic odor removal system. This system activates automatically or can be manually controlled via the app or control panel to neutralize odors and sterilize the environment.
App Control and Health Monitoring
Utilize the DOEL app for advanced control and monitoring. The app allows you to:
- Initiate cleaning cycles remotely.
- Monitor your cat's usage patterns and health data.
- Receive notifications regarding waste bin status or device alerts.
- Adjust settings such as cleaning delay and odor removal intensity.
Maintenance and Cleaning

The 9-liter waste bin can hold waste for approximately 15 days for a single cat. When the waste bin is full, the app will notify you, or you can visually check the indicator. To empty:
