ScoopFree Overview
• This ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Box includes your first litter tray,
which is filled with premium crystal litter.
• The crystal litter absorbs urine and dries out solid waste, resulting in
unbeatable odor control.
• ScoopFree automatically rakes solid waste into a covered waste trap
after each use, leaving the litter clean and fresh.
• There is nothing to fill, empty or clean for weeks at a time.
Automatic Operation
• Your cat will use ScoopFree just like any other litter box.
• Optical sensors will detect when your cat is inside the box.
• The crystal litter will immediately start to absorb moisture, dry out
waste and lock in odors. Please note: crystal litter does not clump.
• A 20-minute countdown cycle will begin when your cat leaves
the box and the indicator light will blink slowly.
• If your cat returns to the litter box, the countdown cycle will stop.
• The 20-minute countdown cycle will reset when your cat leaves the
litter box again.
• After the 20-minute countdown, the rake will sweep the litter and move
solid waste into the waste trap.
• The rake will flip over on its return path to smooth out and level the
litter bed.
Cycle Button
Although ScoopFree™ is designed to operate automatically; you may
manually control the rake by pushing the cycle button on the top of the litter
box.
• Push once to start rake cycle.
• Push again to stop cycle.
• Push one more time, and rake returns to home position.
If the rake is stopped somewhere other than the home position, pressing the
cycle button resets the box and returns the rake home.
