2. Safety Guidelines
Your safety and the safety of your pet are paramount. Please read and adhere to the following safety instructions:
- Dual Safety Sensing: The litter box is equipped with both front-end and bottom sensors. These sensors are designed to detect your cat's presence and automatically stop operation to prevent injury.
- Front-End Sensor: If a cat approaches within a 120° range of the entrance, the cleaning cycle will automatically pause.
- Bottom Sensor: If a cat jumps into the litter box during operation, the bottom sensor will detect its presence and immediately halt the cleaning cycle.
- Weight Limit: Suitable for cats weighing between 2.2 lbs (1 kg) and 24.2 lbs (11 kg). Do not allow pets outside this range to use the device.
- Water Exposure: The base of the garbage bin cannot be cleaned with water. Avoid exposing electrical components to water.
- Supervision: While the device has safety features, always supervise your pet, especially during initial use.

5. Operation
The AXEFIT Self Cleaning Litter Box is designed for automatic operation, but also offers smart control via its dedicated app.
Automatic Cleaning Cycle
After your cat uses the litter box and exits, the sensors will detect their departure. Following a preset delay (configurable via app), the cleaning cycle will initiate automatically. The internal drum will rotate, sifting clean litter and depositing waste into the sealed waste compartment below.
Smart App Control
The companion app provides enhanced control and monitoring capabilities:
- Monitoring: Track your cat's toileting frequency and weight changes.
- Mode Settings: Adjust various settings, including activating 'Sleep Mode' to prevent cleaning cycles during specific hours (e.g., overnight) for quiet operation.
- Manual Cleaning: Initiate a cleaning cycle manually from the app.
- Notifications: Receive alerts for full waste bins or other operational statuses.
