ACCLIMATING YOUR CAT

•Set it to run automatically by turning the ON/OFF switch to ON.
Important: When the ON/OFF button is in the Off position it only disables the rake function.

•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 before you set it to clean automatically.
