Acclimating Your Cat to the Litter Box

NOTE

Most cats easily adapt to the Simply Clean® Automatic Litter Box. Some cats may require an adjustment period to get used
to their new litter box. Here are a few tips to help with the transition:

1. Place the new Simply Clean Automatic Litter Box next to your cat’s current litter box. Allow your cat to have access to
both the old and new litter boxes for at least a week. This time may vary depending on the temperament of your cat.

2. Stop cleaning your cat’s old litter box, allowing it to remain dirty. Cats prefer a clean litter box, and this will make the
new litter box more appealing. Your cat should start using their new Simply Clean Automatic Litter Box.

Although the Simply Clean Automatic Litter Box is quiet while running, you may want to
leave it unplugged for a few days so your cat can get used to the new box without any distractions. If
you leave it unplugged, you need to manually scoop waste from the litter box until your cat is fully
transitioned.

EN 英英

FR

3. Once your cat has transitioned to the new litter box, just plug it in and remove the old litter box from the area.

Waste Removal

We recommend disposing of any waste at least every other day, or more if you have more than one cat.

1

1. Remove the waste bin from the litter box. If using a

plastic waste bag, tie the bag closed. Discard the waste
material in the trash.

2

2. If desired, place a clean plastic waste bag in the bin.
Replace the waste bin into the back of the litter box,
ensuring it is aligned correctly and fully inserted in
the unit.

Pregnant women, babies, small children and immune-deficient individuals should avoid contact with

cat litter waste. Cat’s waste may contain toxoplasmosis bacteria that can be harmful to these individuals.

5. Lift up the litter bowl to remove it, and dispose of
used litter.

7. Rinse and thoroughly dry all parts before reassembling the unit. If needed, carefully clean the conveyor using only a
damp cloth or sponge.

cleaning solutions. DO NOT use bleach or chemicals to clean as they can act as a repellent to your cat.

gently pulling up the tabs on the bottom of clips and the
tab at end of the guard. The litter bowl, litter guard and
