- 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.

| 2 | 10 - 15 | 2+ |
| 3+ | 7 - 10 | 3+ |
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.
Training Kittens
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.

Take a Break From Litter Duty
PetSafe's ScoopFree Automatic Litter Box lets you take a break from scooping—for good. This self-cleaning system rakes through the litter, pushing waste into a covered trap at one end of the tray. Odors and liquid waste are absorbed by the quick-drying crystal litter. And you can rest easy, because your days of endless scooping are over.
Fresh and Clean Every Time
Every time kitty needs to go, she'll step into a dry, freshly cleaned litter box—the kind cats prefer. The motorized rake sweeps new waste into the covered compartment, waiting 20 minutes after your cat uses the box so she won't be startled. Because it's automatic, the ScoopFree box stays clean for weeks at a time. One tray lasts 20-30 days before needing to be replaced, for single-cat homes.
3 Simple Steps
1. Load It
Lift the box and slide a disposable litter tray underneath. It only takes a minute!
2. Leave It
ScoopFree automatically rakes the waste into a covered trap, so you can relax.
3. Toss It
Replace the soiled tray every few weeks with a fresh one.
Fast-Drying Crystals for Odor Control
The blue silica crystals in each disposable tray are five times more effective at odor reduction than clay or clumping litters. Liquids are trapped by the leakproof liner, and the crystals work fast to absorb them on contact. A dry litter box is less prone to bacterial growth—and the smell that comes with it.

Waste of Money
By Kaycat on Jan 13, 2021
My sister bought this for me for Christmas. I have 3 cats, and normally 2 regular litter boxes out. I replaced 1 with this and after 3 weeks, I am getting rid of it! It is more of a hassle than anything else and I can’t deal with it anymore. I still had to scoop everyday since the poop just sits at the front of the box so if you have more than 1 cat it accumulates quickly. Poop gets stuck behind the metal claw thing and it’s just a mess trying to scoop out the poop. It just breaks it up and it’s gross. It’s just more messy and more of a hassle than the regular litter box. I just have a litter genie that I use and it is amazing. Back to what I was using before !

Works best when not plugged in
By zzzzz on Dec 27, 2020
So I've been using this and the hooded version for just over a year and a half, and, after many months of unemployment and completely unwelcome extra attention to literally everything my roommates (cats) do, the verdict is in: this litterbox is great when you don't use any of the features you pay extra for. The little tines moving through to clean just drag everything around making it all worse, the smell and the mess. Maybe my critters just get it right and do their own burial rites properly, and this litterbox acts as a really disgusting gravedigger. I discovered that the problem cleared up when I accidentally tripped over the wire in the middle of the night and forgot to plug back in.

The next deep clean I did was WORLDS easier, my cats' paws stayed cleaner, and it took me this long to figure out because I'm really hard-headed and refused to believe that this very expensive litterbox was actually making the worst chore in the house even worse.

Stress Free
By LordVader93 on Dec 30, 2020
This is definitely a great product. Me personally I feel like it’s only good for 1 pet. 2 or more pets you should look into more litter boxes. Each tray lasts about 3~4 weeks and I’m pretty much care free after i change it out each time. I wipe down the scooper itself just for sanitation purposes. Sometimes I do add more crystals just so it can mix and last a lil bit longer. my cat likes to bury and it make the litter uneven so I check on it here and there to make sure everything is all good. At the end of the day, best purchase I’ve ever made. It def makes my life so much easier. I recommend the privacy hood too. I just don’t like looking at the inside of it so that’s more of a personal preference This is definitely a great product.

Not worth the money even on sale
By DS1604 on Jan 4, 2021
There were several things that disappointed me on this automatic litter box. I should have read better. First it came with a throw away bottom which I thought might be nice at first. But cost of replacements I found out are costly and they don’t last as long as they say even for just one cat. It jams a lot and within a week was so full of waste it had to be thrown out. Now I have a useless top part and I doubt I will spend the costly replacement of the disposable bottoms. Had to go back to the old litter box until I can figure something else out.

Its cool, just super expensive.
By Stormy on Jan 16, 2021
Honestly, I don’t let the poop sit in the litter box. Even if it’s hidden. The smell isn’t as strong as it could be, i guess. I only like this litter box because it hides the poop until I can scoop it out. I honestly could of just bought a sifter box. A lot cheaper and would work fine. But I’m a first time cat owner. It’s a cool purchase if you don’t mind spending the money.

Love this self scooping cat litter box!
By Doyle on Jan 3, 2021
This is the best self scooping cat litter box I have ever owned! I've had mine for almost years. It still works just as well as when I purchased it. I recommend this cat litter box to anyone who has a cat or who is getting a cat! I have one cat and I only have to change the tray once every 3 to 4 weeks. It keeps the smell down drastically!!!! There is less cat litter on my floor now too.
-
Love this!
By Sarah on Dec 30, 2020
I absolutely love this litter box, well worth the money! I only have one cat & my only complaint is that the tray doesn’t last as long as they say it should. Max days I’m able to go is 18-20, and I notice it needs to be changed right around 14-16 days (you can start to smell it & particles of waste start appearing). With that said though, going even 2 weeks without scooping is a God send!

Good for maybe 2 cats or less
By catmomma on Dec 12, 2020
The litter provided didn't even last 5 days with our 3 cats. They are not large and have healthy diets but the box got pretty nasty after just a couple days use. So much so that the cats stop burying their business which gets stuck in the grate and creates even more work for the cleanup every 2 days or so. Also, we had to scoop poop out after 2 days as the holding cell is not large at all and fills up before the litter needs to be changed . 2 stars for the fact that the first days of it being clen actually is very nice as it remains clean for a bit.

SO GOOD, I GOT ANOTHER
By CatLeigh on Dec 4, 2020
With our first cat, we got this straightaway and he (1.5yrs old at the time) had no problem adjusting to it from the regular litter from the cat cafe to his new home! Just adopted a 5 month old, and scored a cyber Monday deal on a 2nd one, bc using a temporary litter box the old fashioned way has been eye opening haha. I’ve changed the trays about every 3 weeks, and give the machine a thorough wipe down when doing so—giving our feline loves a nice clean place to do their business. :)

Skeptical and pleased
By Holly on Dec 11, 2020
I was a little skeptical of how well this would work and keep down cat little odor. I have two cats and I love this. I haven't had to scoop the little box in two weeks. You can not smell the litter box AT ALL!!!! I change my entire litter every two weeks and its super easy just lift the box put the lid of the litter and take it to the trash! Best money I have ever spent!
