SELECTING LITTER
Your 니 tterMaid® Self-Cleaning Litter Box is designed to work with any
premium, hard-clumping cat litter, so you can choose the litter that best
suits your cat. We recommend the following ：
• LitterMaid® Premium Corn Cob Utter
• Nature's Miracle® Intense Defense™ Clumping Litter
Tip ： For optimal performance, use with LitterMaid Premium Corn Cob Litter.
Important ： Do not use non-clumping litter, crystal or pearl-like litters.
ACCLIMATING YOUR CAT
Some cats are finicky when it comes to their litter box area. In some cases,
your cat may need to get used to its LitterMaid® Self-Cleaning Litter Box, which
means you will need to acclimate your cat before removing your old box.
상 See Acclimating Your Cat on littermaid.com
1. Place your LitterMaid Self-Cleaning Litter Box next to your old litter box. Set
it to run automatically by turning it on p using the ON/OFF/CLEAN switch.
2. Do not clean previous litter box. Cats prefer to use a clean box. The
LitterMaid Self-Cleaning Litter Box will always be clean, so they will
transition to the new box on their own.
3. If your cat seems timid around the LitterMaid Self-Cleaning Litter Box, turn it
off so it will not run automatically for two to three days.
4.
Each day, manually activate the box two to three times to allow your cat to
get used to it before setting it to clean automatically.
5. As soon as your cat is acclimated, set your LitterMaid Self-Cleaning Litter
Box to clean automatically.
6. Remove previous litter box.
