6. Troubleshooting

• Device Not Powering On: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the litter box and a functional wall outlet. Check if the outlet is receiving power.
• Litter Not Cleaning Effectively: Verify that the litter level is within the MIN/MAX indicators. Ensure you are using a compatible clumping litter type. Check for any obstructions in the sifting mechanism.
• App Connectivity Issues: Confirm your home Wi-Fi network is active and the litter box is within range. Re-attempt the app pairing process by pressing the Wi-Fi button for 3 seconds.
• Odor Persistence: Ensure the waste compartment is properly sealed and emptied regularly. Check if the double-seal mechanism is intact. Consider using an odor-absorbing liner or air freshener if needed.
• Cat Not Using the Box: Allow your cat time to adjust to the new litter box. Place a small amount of their old litter in the new box to encourage use. Ensure the box is in a quiet, accessible location.
• Safety Sensor Activation: If the device stops unexpectedly, check for any objects or your cat inside the drum. The infrared sensors will halt operation if a presence is detected to ensure safety.
