Cleaning Modes:
The litter box supports three cleaning modes:
Choose from Manual, Scheduled, or Automatic cleaning modes to suit your preferences and your cat's habits.
- Manual Mode: Initiate cleaning cycles manually via the app or by pressing the clean button on the unit.
- Scheduled Cleaning Mode: Set specific times for cleaning cycles through the app.
- Auto Cleaning Mode: The litter box automatically detects when your cat has used it and initiates a cleaning cycle after a 90-second delay.
The unit performs a 360° rotation to effectively separate waste from clean litter. Non-stick surfaces prevent clumping and ensure smooth operation.
Silent Night Mode:
The litter box operates below 44dB, ensuring a quiet environment. It can be set to a "Sleep Mode" which turns off daily from 23:00 to 9:00 the next day, and turns itself on after 9:00, providing undisturbed rest for both you and your cats.
Experience whisper-quiet operation with the MALFT litter box, designed to be less disruptive than typical household sounds.
