Q: How often does the waste receptacle need to be changed?
A: This depends on the size and the number of cats you may have in your household. For a household with one cat of average size, the Waste Receptacle should not need to be changed more frequently than every 5-7 days. Multiple-cat households will require more frequent changing of the Waste Receptacle.

Q: How do I clean the LitterMaid™ litter box?
- Check to make sure the Rake is in the Home Position.
- Turn the On/Off Switch to the “off” position.
- Unplug the unit and remove the batteries to prevent accidental activation of the unit.
- Lift the latches on both sides of the unit and lift up by the side panel handles – this will separate the tray from the Main Housing.
- Dispose of the used litter. 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.
How The LitterMaid™ Works
- Cat enters the unit; once it 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
- After 10 minutes, the cleaning cycle starts and the Rake scoops out waste clumps
- If the cat re-enters 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 will stop and reverse 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
- Sealed Disposable Waste Receptacle allows for safe and easy disposal of waste
when full
