WELCOME TO THE NATURE'S MIRACLE®FAMILY!
Thank you for purchasing a Nature's Miracle®Self-Cleaning Litter Box! This Use
& Care Manual will provide useful information on operating and maintaining
your litter box, finding accessories and troubleshooting for common issues.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, or cannot find the information
you need, please call our customer care line at 1-800-645-5154.
ACCLIMATING YOUR CAT
Some cats are particular when it comes to their litter box area. In some cases,
your cat may need to get used to its Nature's Miracle®Self-Cleaning Litter Box,
which means you will need to acclimate your cat before removing your old litter
box. This can be executed with the tips below:
• When setting up, place your Nature's Miracle Self-Cleaning Litter Box next to
your old litter box.
• Do not clean your previous litter box. Cats prefer to use a clean box. The
Nature's Miracle Self-Cleaning Litter Box will always be clean, so they will
transition to the new box on their own.
• If your cat seems timid around the Nature's Miracle Self-Cleaning Litter Box,
you can turn it off for two to three days so it will not automatically run while
they transition. 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.
• As soon as your cat is acclimated, set your Nature's Miracle Self-Cleaning
Litter Box to clean automatically and remove the previous litter box.

turn on.
Note: The rake will automatically run through an AUTO cleaning cycle to
smooth out litter.

sensors will activate the AUTO cleaning cycle. Sensors
must be blocked for at least 10 seconds to activate the
AUTO cleaning cycle. (Figure G)

the Rake will move forward and back to scoop waste
clumps into the Waste Receptacle. (Figure H)

automatically reset and delay the Rake action for an
additional 15 minutes.
Note: Rake will stop and reverse direction if the safety
bar (located behind the Rake) touches any object as it
completes the AUTO cleaning cycle. (Figure I)

attempt to complete its cleaning cycle five times, if
unsuccessful, the Rake will return to the home position
and the Red Indicator Light will blink quickly to
indicate FAULT mode (see Troubleshooting on page 16
for more details).
