ACCLIMATING YOUR CAT
To acclimate your cat to the new LitterMaid
® Advanced Automatic Self-Cleaning
litter box, we suggest following this procedure.
• Place the LitterMaid
® unit next to your old litter box.
• Set it to run automatically by pressing the ON/OFF button ON.
Important: When the On/Off button is in the Off position it only disables
the rake function.
• Do not clean out the old litter box. Cats prefer to use a clean box, and the
LitterMaid ® litter box will always be clean.

for 2 to 3 days. Do it manually by pressing the ON/OFF button once and then
turning it off.
• Manually activate the LitterMaid ® litter box 2 to 3 times a day for the first
2 to 3 days, to let your cat get used to going into the LitterMaid ® litter box, and
how it sounds and works; you can then set it to clean automatically.
• As soon as your cat is acclimated to the LitterMaid ™ litter box, set it to clean
automatically. Press the ON/OFF button to ON and remove the old litter box.
Note: Do not place your LitterMaid ® litter box in a wet environment or in direct
sunlight. Do not use outdoors or on patios.
Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.
Sensor Covers
The two sensors located on the interior side panels are protected by sensor covers
that need to be kept dust free. After changing or adding litter, wipe each sensor
with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
Litter Tray
Use only hard clumping litter. Low quality or non-clumpling litter will impair
performance and may damage your unit.
To empty and clean litter tray:
• Check to make sure rake is in home position.
• 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.
• Unplug unit and remove batteries to prevent accidental activation of the unit.
• Remove the waste receptacle.
• Remove the rake.
• Remove the top housing.
• Dispose of the used litter. To ensure proper disposal of litter, follow
manufacturer's instructions on litter package. Wipe the litter tray with a damp
cloth. If further cleaning is necessary, the litter tray can be fully immersed in
water and washed with a mild detergent.
Important: Do not soak or immerse the top housing in water. To clean wipe with
damp cloth. Dry the unit completely before reassembling.
• Before reassembling, spray litter tray surface with nonstick cooking spray
or silicone spray, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth. This will help to prevent
waste clumps from adhering to the surface of the tray.
Removing Disposable Waste Receptacle
We recommend avoiding contact with waste material. Wear rubber or latex
gloves when handling used disposable waste receptacle.
