5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Automatic Cleaning Cycle

The Duabes Self-Cleaning Litter Box is designed to automatically clean after your cat uses it. The built-in sensors detect when your cat enters and exits the unit. After a preset delay (adjustable via the app), the drum will rotate to sift the litter, depositing waste into the sealed waste drawer.

5.2 Manual Cleaning

You can initiate a cleaning cycle manually using the control panel buttons on the unit or through the Tuya Smart App. Press the 'Clean' button on the unit or select 'Clean' in the app to start a cycle.

5.3 Emptying the Drum

To completely empty the litter from the drum (e.g., for a full litter change), use the 'Empty' function via the Tuya Smart App. This will rotate the drum to deposit all litter into the waste drawer.

5.4 Smart App Control

The Tuya Smart App provides comprehensive control and monitoring features:

• Remote Operation: Start/stop cleaning cycles, empty the drum, or reset the unit from anywhere.
• Health Monitoring: Track your cat's weight and litter box usage patterns.
• Real-time Alerts: Receive notifications for full waste drawer, cleaning cycle completion, or any detected issues.
• Custom Settings: Adjust cleaning delay times, ambient light colors and brightness, and switch between automatic and manual modes.
