    WELCOME TO THE F MILY! Congratulations on your purchase of the LitterMaid ® dvanced utomatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box. This product is designed to make caring for your cat a simpler, less time-consuming process. OPER TING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LITTERM ID ® SELF-CLE NING LITTER BOX • Cat enters the unit; once he/she leaves, the sensors are triggered, setting the timer for the cleaning cycle (sensors need to be blocked for at least 5 seconds). Important: Unit will not start a cleaning cycle while cat is in the box. • s soon as the cat leaves the litter box, the sensors activate the 10-minute countdown and the ionic air cleaner. • The ionic air cleaner stays on during the countdown and the cleaning cycle. • fter the 10-minute countdown, the cleaning cycle starts and the rake scoops out the waste clumps. • If the cat reenters and leaves the litter box before the initial 10 minutes have elapsed, the timer will automatically reset and delay the beginning of the cleaning cycle for an additional 10 minutes. Note: Rake stops and reverses if the safety bar touches any object that has gotten behind the rake while it is returning to its home position. • Rake opens waste receptacle compartment cover and deposits clumps into the waste receptacle. Note: Rake stops and reverses if it encounters an obstacle larger than 35 lb. It will try five times to clear the obstacle. If obstacle is not cleared, the rake reverses back to the home position and the green POWER LED blinks (1 time per second).
