Operating Instructions
Automatic Cleaning Cycle:
The litter box is designed to automatically clean itself after your cat uses it. After your cat exits the unit, a delay timer will activate (default setting may vary, check app for customization). Once the delay concludes, the internal rake will sift through the litter, depositing waste into the sealed waste compartment.
The internal rake mechanism automatically sifts through the litter, separating waste from clean litter.
Manual Cleaning:
To initiate a cleaning cycle manually, press the designated button on the control panel or use the mobile app. Ensure no cat is inside the unit before starting a manual cycle.
App & WiFi Control:
The Tuya Smart Life App allows you to:
- Monitor your cat's usage habits and activity logs.
- Remotely start or stop cleaning cycles.
- Adjust cleaning cycle delay times.
- Receive notifications regarding waste compartment status or potential issues.
Maintenance & Cleaning
Waste Bag Replacement:
The waste bag should be replaced every 5-8 days, depending on the number of cats and usage frequency. To replace:
- Unplug the unit from the power source.
- Open the waste compartment.
- Carefully remove the full waste bag and dispose of it.
- Insert a new waste bag, ensuring it is securely fitted.
- Close the waste compartment and plug the unit back in.
Unit Cleaning:
Regular cleaning of the main unit is recommended to maintain hygiene. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
- Wipe down exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
