Troubleshooting
Rake continues to go through cleaning cycles.
Probable Cause:
• Too much litter in the litter box is causing excess litter to collect
behind
the rake, preventing it from returning to home position or there is an
obstacle in front at the rake. If the rake cannot move an obstacle during
the cleaning cycle, the unit will go through a cleaning cycle up to five
times in an attempt to clear the obstacle. If unsuccessful, the rake will
return to its home position, and the green light will blink slowly (1 time
per second), indicating that the rake has encountered an obstacle
it cannot move.
Solution:
1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn unit OFF.
Important: When the On/Off button is in the Off position it only disables
the rake function.
2. Clear the obstacle.
Be sure litter in tray is just below the "Full Line". Level litter on litter tray
evenly and use the LitterMaid® triple-action tool to measure the level of
the litter in the center of the unit. Full Line will not be visible if tray is
overfilled.
3. Press the ON/OFF button ON.
4. The rake will run through a complete cleaning cycle. When cycle is
finished, the unit is ready for use.
Unit does not operate 10 minutes after cat leaves.
Probable Cause:
• Dusty sensors
Solution:
1. Wipe each sensor with a soft, dry cloth.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn unit OFF.
Important: When the On/Off button is in the Off position it only disables
the rake function.
3. Press the ON/OFF button ON.
4. Unit will run through a cleaning cycle.
• Depress the two push tabs in the waste receptacle
compartment cover (V) to detach the disposable waste
receptacle lid from the waste receptacle compartment cover.
• Lift the compartment cover, exposing the closed disposable
waste receptacle assembly.
• Press in on four corners of lid to secure lid to the waste
receptacle, pull up from both sides making sure to hold lid
and receptable together; lift out and dispose (W).

Rake Removal & Cleaning
Removing the rake:
The rake can be removed for easy cleaning.
We recommend wearing rubber or latex gloves when handling the soiled rake.
• Be sure rake is in the home position and unit is turned off.
• Grasp rake ledge underneath logo and slide up and off of unit.
• Clean rake with a soft cloth using warm water and mild detergent. Do not use
scouring pads or harsh or abrasive chemicals. Spray rake lightly with nonstick
cooking spray or a silicone spray before reinstalling.
Note: Rake may be cleaned while installed by using the LitterMaid® triple-action
tool.
Paw-Cleaning Ramp:
The carpet is made of 100% polypropylene and latex foam.
To Clean:
• Remove mat by gently pulling on the fabric strip provided
(X).
• The mat is held in place by 5 tabs and will remove easily.
• Remove and clean carpet by using a vacuum cleaner.
• To return it to its original position, reinsert carpet under the
tabs. It is not necessary to remove the plastic ramp to clean
the mat.
Note: For small stains, moisten a sponge with mild detergent and cold water;
wipe to clean. Do not use soaps or chemical cleaners, as they may be harmful
to your cat.

it is wet.
