Safety Features
Your cat's safety is a top priority with the WARCAT litter box.
- Smart Safety Sensors: Equipped with 8 dedicated sensors, the litter box continuously monitors for your cat's presence. If a cat enters during an automatic cleaning cycle, the operation will immediately halt and resume only after the cat has safely exited.
- Child Lock: To prevent accidental operation by children or curious pets, activate the child lock. First, press and hold the manual mode button, then press and hold the cleaning button. Maintain this for 3 seconds to activate the child lock. Repeat the steps to deactivate. A steady white light indicates the child lock is enabled.

Litter Compatibility
The WARCAT litter box is compatible with most clumping cat litters. For optimal performance, ensure the litter granules are smaller than 15mm (0.6 inches). There is no need to switch from your cat's preferred brand, as long as it meets the size requirement.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your litter box.
- Emptying the Waste Drawer: The 10L sealed waste drawer reduces the frequency of emptying. For multi-cat households, it may need to be emptied every 3-5 days. For single-cat households, it can last up to 10 days. Simply pull out the drawer, tie the garbage bag, and replace it with a new one.
- Cleaning the Unit: The main drum is washable. For the base unit, wipe with wet wipes only; it is not washable.
