ScoopFree Covered Automatic Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box, Gray

• Place the new ScoopFree litter box next to your cat’s current litter box, allowing them to have access to both boxes for at least a week.
• Stop cleaning your cat’s old litter box, allowing it to remain dirty. Since cats prefer a clean litter box, so this will help make the new ScoopFree litter box more appealing.
• Once your cat has transitioned to the ScoopFree box, remove their old box.

Only use PetSafe ScoopFree Disposable Crystal Litter Trays. The crystal litter is specially designed and pre-measured to work with ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes. The crystal litter absorbs urine and dries solid waste to remove odors. The crystal litter DOES NOT CLUMP. DO NOT use any type of clay litter, natural litters, or any other crystal litter. DO NOT use any other tray; only use PetSafe ScoopFree products.

Transition Instructions

Most cats adapt easily to ScoopFree boxes and use it within a week. If your cat needs help adjusting, try these tips:

• Leave your cat's old litter box next to the ScoopFree box.
• Add a few handfuls of your cat’s old litter to the ScoopFree litter tray and add a few handfuls of the ScoopFree crystal litter in your cat's old litter box.
• Stop cleaning the old litter box. As the old litter becomes more shallow and dirty, your cat should start using the cleaner ScoopFree box.
• If your cat is startled by the raking noise, turn off the ScoopFree box and scoop waste manually for a few days until your cat is used to the new box.

If you have a kitten under 6 months old, we recommend leaving the box unplugged and scooping waste manually. You can start getting her used to using the litter box with these tips.

• Kittens have a natural reflex to use the bathroom after eating, playing, or napping. Put your kitten in the litter box after these activities to help her associate the litter tray with the instinct.
• Place the litter box away from the food and water bowl. Cats prefer not to use the bathroom near where they eat and drink.
• Put the litter box in a quiet, visible place where she can get to it quickly. Getting all the way across the house to find the litter box could result in accidents. The location should also be safe and quiet so your kitten won't be startled or distracted.
• Keep the box clean. Scoop waste often and change the litter tray every few weeks. Cats and kittens prefer a clean box.
• Stir the litter crystals once a week to distribute saturated crystals. Kittens pee more often than adult cats, so the litter box will get dirty more quickly.

Troubleshooting

**Indicator light is flashing rapidly, and rake is at home position.

• Check if waste trap is full. If so, replace litter tray.
• Check for obstructions and remove if necessary.
• Make sure magnets on waste cover are properly attached to litter tray. If not, lift waste cover and lower it back down; you should hear a “click” when correctly attached to the tray.
• Make sure waste trap cover is properly installed.
• Ensure litter box is level and seated properly on litter tray.
• Ensure litter is evenly distributed. Never add extra litter.
• Unplug the litter box and wait a few seconds. Plug the litter box in again. When the rake returns to the home position, the indicator light will glow solid green.

**Indicator light is flashing rapidly (8 times per second), and rake is stopped several inches away from the home position.

• Check for any obstructions behind the rake. If so, unplug the litter box and remove obstruction. Wait a few seconds.
• Plug the litter box in again. The rake should return to the home position and the indicator light will turn on solid green.

**Indicator light is flashing medium (4 times per second), and system will not rake after the countdown time elapses.

• Check to see if the detection sensors are obstructed.
• Unplug box and clear any litter or waste that may have collected on the sensors. After cleaning, plug it back in.
• When the rake returns to the home position, the indicator light should turn on solid green.

**Magnets on waste trap cover do not attach to litter tray.

• Waste trap cover may not be properly installed. See “Care and Cleaning” page 13 to remove and reinstall waste trap Cover.
• Then press down on waste trap cover or lift waste trap on litter tray until you hear a click, indicating magnets have attached to the tray.

Litter box frame is not level on litter tray. The litter box should rest on the litter tray when installed, not on the floor. Make sure the litter box is completely level on the litter tray (see “Litter Tray Installation ” page 8).

**Can ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Box be used with multiple cats? ScoopFree was designed for use with one or two cats. If you have more than two cats, it is recommended to have at least one litter box for every two cats.

How big are the litter trays? Litter trays are 22” x 14-1/2” x 2-1/2”. ScoopFree Sensitive White Crystal Litter Trays do not include lids and can be nested, allowing them to be stored in a smaller space.

**How big is ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Box? The ScoopFree litter bed measures 14” W x 15-1/2” L, and the exterior litter box dimensions are 19-1/8” W x 27-5/8” L x 6-3/8” H. The height is 16” with the optional hood installed (the Ultra comes with the privacy hood).

**How will I know when to change the litter tray?

You should change the litter tray when either of the following occurs:

• The crystal litter is saturated. As the crystals absorb urine, the litter will start to turn yellow. Once the majority of the litter turns yellow, the crystals are nearing their saturation point. When the crystals can no longer absorb any more moisture, you may start to notice an odor from the urine.
• The waste trap is full. When the waste trap is full, the waste trap cover will not close completely. You may see small pieces of solid waste sticking out from underneath the lid. You may also start to notice an odor from the solid waste.

See “Maximizing Litter Tray Life” page 13 to help get the most life from the Disposable Crystal Litter Trays.

**What if my cat goes back into the box soon after it’s been used? The rake will not clean if a cat is in the litter box because it will be obstructing the detection sensors. The countdown timer will reset itself and the rake will begin to clean 20 minutes (or 5, 10, or 20 if you have ScoopFree Ultra) after your cat leaves the litter box again.

**What is the difference between ScoopFree Original and Ultra?

ScoopFree Ultra functions like the ScoopFree Original with three added features:

• Privacy hood gives your cat a private bathroom while helping keep the crystal litter properly contained. (The privacy hood can be purchased separately for use with the ScoopFree Original. See “Replacement Parts and Accessories” page 16.)
• Adjustable rake timer allows you to choose if the automatic rake sweeps waste 5, 10, or 20 minutes after your cat uses the litter box. (The ScoopFree Original waits 20 minutes.)
• Health counter tracks the frequency of your cat’s litter box usage to help alert to possible health issues.

**What are the differences among the Original Scent Blue Crystal Litter Tray, Lavender Scent Crystal Litter Tray, and the Sensitive White Crystal Litter Tray?

• The Original Scent Blue Crystal Litter Tray comes pre-filled with crystal litter with a light Fresh Clean scent. The Lavender Scent Crystal Litter Tray is pre-filled with crystal litter with a light, soothing lavender scent. Both litter trays include a lid. When the tray is ready to be replaced, simply cover it and toss it in the trash.
• The Sensitive White Crystal Litter Tray is made from recycled materials (paper with no bleach added) and comes pre-filled with crystal litter free of perfumes and dyes which is perfect for sensitive cats or owners. Sensitive White Crystal Litter Trays do not come with a lid so the trays nest, making them easier to stack and store in small spaces. A drawstring bag is included for easy disposal.
• The crystal litter for all litter trays have been tested independently and performs the same. The crystal litter absorbs urine and dries solid waste quickly to remove odors.
