2. Setup Guide

2.1 Unpacking and Placement

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. The power cord and instruction manual are located in the waste bin on top of the litter box. Place the litter box on a flat, stable surface. Its compact design allows for placement in various locations, including cat houses or furniture.

2.2 Adding Cat Litter

The DOEL Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box is compatible with various types of cat litter, including bentonite, tofu, mixed, and mineral cat litter. Ensure the litter has good clumping properties for optimal cleaning. Do not overfill the litter area, as this can interfere with the dumping process and cause litter to be discarded prematurely.

2.3 Power Connection

Connect the power cord to the litter box and then to a standard electrical outlet. Ensure the connection is secure.

2.4 App Connection (2.4G WIFI Only)

Download the DOEL smart app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions for automatic network connection. The app allows for comprehensive control and monitoring of the litter box. Please note that the app requires a 2.4G WIFI connection.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Automatic Operation

Once set up, the DOEL litter box operates automatically. After your cat uses the litter box, the machine will initiate a cleaning cycle after a set delay (configurable via the app). The internal barrel rotates to sift the litter, separating waste into the sealed waste bin.

3.2 Safety Features in Operation

The litter box is equipped with an infrared detection radar and four sets of gravity sensors. If a cat approaches or enters the litter box during a cleaning cycle, the machine will immediately pause operation to ensure the cat's safety. Operation resumes once the cat has left the vicinity.

• Remote Cleaning: Initiate a cleaning cycle manually from your smartphone.
• Scheduling: Set specific times for cleaning cycles.
• Health Monitoring: Track your cat's toilet frequency and weight (via gravity sensors) to monitor their health.
• Litter Type Selection: Adjust settings based on the type of cat litter used for optimized cleaning.
• Notifications: Receive alerts for full waste bins or when your cat uses the litter box.
• Remote OTA Upgrade: Keep your litter box software up-to-date with remote over-the-air updates.

4. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for optimal performance and hygiene of your DOEL Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box.

4.1 Emptying the Waste Bin

The waste bin is equipped with an automatic flip door that seals during cleaning to prevent odor and leakage. When the app notifies you that the waste bin is full, or approximately every 5-7 days for one cat, it's time to change the waste bag. Simply open the top cover, remove the full bag, and replace it with a new one. The included litter mat (19.6*15.7 inches) helps collect scattered litter, keeping your floor clean.

2. Open the buckle at the back of the unit.
3. The entire bucket compartment can then be removed from the base.
4. The bottom tray (TPE) and the T-shaped filter are detachable for separate cleaning.
