2.4 App Connection (Optional)
To utilize smart features, download the 'Tuya Smart' or 'MiniNook' app from your device's app store. Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network. Follow the in-app instructions to connect the litter box. This allows for remote control, status alerts, and health monitoring.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Automatic Cleaning Cycle
The litter box is equipped with smart sensors that detect when your cat uses the box. After your cat exits, the unit will automatically initiate a quiet cleaning cycle after a preset delay (default is typically 10 minutes, adjustable via app). The rotating drum sifts clean litter, depositing waste into the sealed waste bin below.
3.2 Manual Cleaning
To initiate a cleaning cycle manually, press the 'Clean' button on the device. The unit will perform a full cleaning cycle and return to its standby position.
3.3 App Control Features
When connected to the app, you can:
- Start Cleaning Cycles: Manually initiate cleaning from anywhere.
- Receive Real-time Alerts: Get notifications for events like 'waste drawer full' or 'cat entering/exiting'.
- Monitor Cat Usage: Track your cat's usage frequency and duration, which can help identify potential health changes.
- Adjust Settings: Customize cleaning delay times and other operational parameters.
3.4 Safety Features
The KITPLUS Automatic Litter Box prioritizes cat safety with multiple integrated features:
- Infrared Sensors: Detect your cat's presence, immediately pausing any ongoing cleaning cycle.
- Weight Sensors: Located in the legs, these sensors detect weight changes, stopping operation if a cat enters during a cycle.
- Anti-Pinch Design: The roller maintains a minimum angle of 30° during operation, preventing curious cats from being pinched.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Emptying the Waste Drawer
The 10L sealed waste drawer effectively contains odors and requires less frequent emptying. When the waste drawer is full (indicated by an app alert or device light), simply pull out the drawer, lift the drawstring of the trash bag, and dispose of the waste. Replace with a new trash bag and slide the drawer back into place.

4.2 Cleaning the Liner Pad and Drum
The removable liner pad can be easily detached from the drum for washing. The drum itself can also be removed for thorough cleaning. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling.

4.3 General Cleaning
Wipe the main unit's exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid direct water exposure to electronic components. The included brush can be used to sweep away any litter residue.
5. Troubleshooting
Refer to the 'Buttons & Indicators' label on the device for specific light signals. If an issue persists, try the following:
- Cleaning Cycle Interruption: If the cleaning cycle stops unexpectedly, check if a cat has entered the box. The safety sensors will pause operation. The cycle will resume once the cat exits.
- Wi-Fi Connection Issues: Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz signal. Long press the Wi-Fi button on the device to initiate pairing mode. If connection fails, try restarting your router and the litter box.
- Error Indication: If all three indicator lights flash simultaneously, reinstall the waste drawer to ensure it is properly seated.
- Device Reset: To reset the device, press the 'Empty' and 'Clean' buttons simultaneously.
