ScoopFree®Clumping
Self-Cleaning Litter Box
No scooping,
more snuggling.
Before we start:
As you set up your new litter box, keep in mind:
Some cats need
time to adjust
While many cats take to their new and improved litter box right away, others take a little longer.
Here are some tips to help you get off to a good start:
• Place the new litter box next to your cat’s current litter box.
• Let the old litter box get dirty. Most cats prefer a clean litter box and will soon be drawn to
the fresh litter in the new litter box.
• The ScoopFree®Clumping Self-Cleaning Litter Box is quiet when running and only runs after
use, but if your cat tends to be skittish or fearful, it may be a good idea to leave the litter box
unplugged until she gets used to it.
Your kitten needs
special care
Important: If you have a kitten, leave the litter box unplugged and scoop waste manually until
she is a least 6 months old.
You may want to place a box or step next to the litter box to make it easier for her to get in
and out.

What you have:
Power adaptor
Litter tray
Waste bin cover
Waste bin
Rake
3

Place the litter box in your desired location, near a standard
wall outlet.
Insert the small end of the power adaptor into the socket on
the back of the litter box. If desired, slide the power adaptor
cable under the clips on either side of the socket to secure it.
Plug the power adaptor into the wall outlet. The litter box will
power on and the rake will move to the home position.
Important: If you have a kitten, leave the litter box unplugged
until she is at least 6 months old.

Fill the litter tray with your choice of cat litter. The litter box is
designed to work with most litter types, but we recommend
using clumping clay litter or ScoopFree®Premium Crystal Litter.
For best results, keep the litter level between the min and max
fill lines shown inside the litter tray.
The waste bin is easy to clean and can be used unlined to
reduce plastic waste, but if you prefer, you can line the waste
bin with an 8-to-10-gallon trash bag. If using a bag, make sure
it does not interfere with the movement of the waste bin cover
or the rake.

Your new litter box is ready to use. Here’s how it works:
• Sensors inside the litter box recognize when your cat is
present. When your cat leaves the litter box, the rake button
will blink blue and the rake timer will start a 10-minute
countdown. (This countdown is designed to allow time for
the litter to clump or absorb waste before the rake moves.)
• When the countdown is complete, the rake moves any solid
or clumped waste into the waste bin.
• If your cat returns to the litter box during the countdown,
the rake timer stops. The rake timer resets when your cat
leaves the litter box again.
• To activate the rake manually at any time, press the rake
button. To pause the rake while it is in motion, press the rake
button again.
The rake button lights to indicate litter box status:
Rake button
Light color Status
Blue, solid The litter box has power and is
functioning normally, with the rake in the
home position.
Blue, blinking The rake timer is counting down, or raking
is currently in progress.
Blue, fast blinking The rake is paused. This happens if you
press the rake button while the rake is
in motion.
Blue/red blinking A mechanical error has occurred during
the rake cycle. Clear any obstructions near
the rake, then press the rake button. The
rake should finish the cycle and return to
the home position.
Red, solid Clear any obstructions near the rake and
clean the sensors (see page 11). If the
error persists, contact our friendly team at
Customer Care for assistance.

Slide the waste bin out of the litter box and dispose of
any waste.

related to cat litter waste and toxoplasmosis.
Line the waste bin with a clean 8-to-10-gallon trash bag
if desired.
1
Replace the waste bin in the litter box, making sure it is pushed
all the way in. If you lined the waste bin with a plastic bag,
make sure the bag doesn’t interfere with the movement of the
waste bin cover or the rake.
Add fresh litter to the litter tray as needed, staying within the fill
lines marked inside the litter tray.

Empty the waste bin and add fresh litter
To keep the litter box fresh, empty the waste bin when it starts getting full, and add more litter when needed.

and dispose of any waste.
