Operating Instructions

1. Automatic Cleaning

The CATLINK Open-X automatically detects when your cat uses the litter box and initiates a cleaning cycle after a set delay. This ensures a clean bed of litter is always available.

• Kitten Protection: Special mode for smaller cats.
• Soft Stool Burial: Optimized cleaning for softer waste.

3. Multi-Cat Recognition and Health Monitoring

For multi-cat households, the patented health monitor tracks individual cat's bathroom habits, distinguishing between different cats if their weight difference is ≥0.9 lbs (0.4 kg). It provides daily and weekly health reports, helping you detect potential urinary issues early.

Maintenance

1. Emptying the Waste Bin

The 12L extra-large waste bin can hold up to 15 days of waste for one cat. When it's time to empty, simply use the one-touch waste disposal system. The half-auto trash bag system makes removal and replacement easy.

The CATLINK Open-X features a washable design for easy cleaning. The elastic litter pad has one hook for easy installation and removal. For thorough cleaning, the unit can be disassembled in three simple steps.

3. Odor Control

The triple odor locking system, including the odor eliminator, ensures your home remains fresh. Replace the odor eliminator as needed.

• Odor Persists: Replace the odor eliminator. Ensure the waste bag is properly sealed and the waste drawer is fully closed.
