2. Setup
2.1 Unboxing and Assembly
The WARCAT Smart Electric Litter Box comes largely pre-assembled. Follow these steps for quick setup:
- Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Attach the four support legs to the main base of the litter box. Ensure they click securely into place.
- Insert a waste bag into the 14-liter trash bin located at the bottom of the unit. Secure the bag by wrapping its edges around the bin's rim.
- Slide the trash bin back into its designated slot at the base of the litter box.
- Place the litter box on a flat, stable surface to ensure proper functioning of the gravity sensors.
2.2 Adding Litter
The WARCAT litter box is compatible with any type of clumping cat litter. Fill the litter compartment up to the 'MAX' line indicated inside the globe. Avoid overfilling to ensure optimal cleaning performance.
2.3 Power On and Initial Calibration
- Plug the power adapter into the back of the litter box and then into a wall outlet.
- The unit will perform an initial self-leveling sequence. Allow this process to complete.
- The litter box is now ready for use.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Automatic Cleaning Cycle
The litter box is designed to automatically clean itself after your cat uses it. Here's how the cycle works:
- Once your cat exits the litter box, the internal sensors detect their absence.
- After a pre-set delay (default is typically 5-8 minutes, adjustable via the app), the cleaning cycle begins.
- The globe rotates, sifting the clean litter through a grate.
- Clumped waste is deposited into the trash bin below.
- The globe then rotates back, leveling the clean litter for the next use.
3.2 Smart APP Control
Download the dedicated mobile application (refer to the QR code on the device or manual) to unlock advanced features:
- Adjust Cleaning Delay: Customize the waiting period before a cleaning cycle starts. This allows sufficient time for litter to clump.
- Usage Statistics: Monitor how often your cat uses the box, their weight, and duration of use.
- Manual Cleaning: Initiate a cleaning cycle remotely at any time.
- Notifications: Receive alerts for full waste bins, sensor triggers, or other operational events.
3.3 Safety Features
The WARCAT litter box prioritizes your cat's safety with its multi-sensor system:
- Cat Presence Detection: Sensors immediately pause the cleaning cycle if a cat enters the box during operation and will not resume until the cat has fully exited.
- Open-Top Design: Unlike fully enclosed rotating boxes, the open-top design ensures there are no tight spaces where a cat could get pinched or trapped. This also provides a sense of security for anxious or skittish cats.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Emptying the Waste Bin
The litter box features a large 14-liter waste bin, reducing the frequency of emptying. For a single cat, you may only need to change the waste bag every two weeks. For multiple cats, monitor app notifications for optimal emptying schedule.
- Pull out the waste bin drawer from the base of the unit.
- Carefully tie off the full waste bag and dispose of it.
- Insert a new waste bag into the bin and secure it.
- Slide the clean waste bin back into the unit.
4.2 Cleaning the Interior
For thorough cleaning, the interior components are designed for easy removal:
- Ensure the unit is powered off and unplugged.
- Gently detach the main globe from the base by releasing the side latches.
- The interior features a smooth, removable liner mat. Pop this mat out.
- Wash the liner mat and the interior of the globe with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reassembly.
- Reinstall the dry liner mat, reattach the globe to the base, and ensure all components are securely in place.
