Care and Cleaning

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.

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.

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.
