Setup Guide
Unpack and Assemble: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Attach the four support legs to the base of the main unit by snapping them into place.
Placement: Place the assembled unit on a flat, stable surface. Ensure it is near a power outlet and in a location convenient for your cat.
Fill with Litter: Add clumping or bentonite cat litter to the litter compartment. The M1 has a 7.17L litter capacity. Ensure the litter level is between the MIN and MAX lines indicated inside the drum.
Install Waste Bag: Open the waste drawer located at the bottom front of the unit. Line the waste bin with one of the provided waste bags. Close the drawer securely.
Power On: Connect the power adapter to the unit and plug it into a wall outlet. The unit will perform an initial calibration.

Operating Instructions
The Neakasa M1 operates automatically, detecting when your cat uses the litter box and initiating a cleaning cycle after a set delay. The open-top design provides easy and safe access for cats of all sizes (2.2 lbs to 33 lbs).
Automatic Cleaning Cycle
After your cat exits the litter box, the unit will wait for a pre-set time (configurable via the app) before starting the cleaning cycle. The internal drum rotates, sifting clean litter and depositing waste into the sealed waste bin below. This ensures a fresh and clean environment for your cat after every use.
Safety Features
The M1 is equipped with 5 pairs of infrared sensors and 4 weight sensors. These sensors accurately detect the presence of your cat inside or near the unit. Any contact occurring during operation will immediately pause the cleaning cycle, ensuring your cat's safety.

App Control and Monitoring
The Neakasa app provides comprehensive control and monitoring capabilities:
Litter Level Monitoring: Calibrate the M1 once, and the app will track remaining litter, sending notifications to add more.
Multi-cat Recognition: Identify cats with a weight difference as small as 0.1kg and monitor their individual usage.
Toilet Data Tracking: Track the duration and frequency of your feline friends' bathroom habits.
Remote Control: Manage operation modes, initiate cleaning cycles, or empty the waste bin remotely.
The Neakasa app provides detailed insights and control over the litter box.

Maintenance
Waste Disposal (Pull and Wrap System)
The Neakasa M1 features an innovative "Pull and Wrap" system for waste disposal. When the waste bin is full (indicated by the app or unit lights), simply pull the integrated string to seal the waste bag. This encloses odors and makes disposal quick and mess-free. The large 11.23L waste bin capacity allows for up to 14 days of hands-free operation for a single cat household.

Troubleshooting
Issue
Possible Cause
Solution
Strong Odor
Waste bin full or not sealed properly; infrequent waste disposal.
Empty waste bin more frequently. Ensure waste bag is sealed tightly. Clean the unit thoroughly.
Litter Tracking
Cat tracking litter out; type of litter used.
Ensure the included litter mat is in place. Consider using a low-tracking, fast-clumping litter.
Unit Not Cleaning Automatically
Sensors obstructed; cat still in or near the unit; incorrect app settings.
Ensure sensors are clean and unobstructed. Verify cat is clear of the unit. Check app settings for cleaning schedule and delay.
App Not Tracking Usage Accurately
Weight sensor calibration needed; multiple cats with similar weights.
Recalibrate weight sensors via the app. If multiple cats have similar weights, individual tracking may be less precise.
