Safety Instructions
Make sure your cat is not in the LavvieBot when operating. Any LavvieBot operation with your cat inside can cause serious safety hazards.
Push and engage the litter tray fully into its location to avoid malfunction or any damage to LavvieBot.
LavvieBot is designed to use only clumping litter of medium-sized particles. Using a weak clumping cheap litter or a natural litter with long or excessively big particles can damage the machine and shorten its lifespan.
ex) Pellets, Silica gel, etc ex) Bentonite, Natural litters
Check regularly if the litter level is filled enough in the litter tray. If it is less or more than the baseline, it may cause operational failure. When adding litter manually, fill the tray with the litter until it meets the line and spread flat.
Baseline
The LavvieBot should be placed on a firm, level floor. Placing the LavvieBot on uneven or unstable surfaces can result in malfunction or damage to the machine.

LavvieBot Process
LavvieBot is always monitoring the litter tray.
For safety reasons, LavvieBot completely stops auto-cleaning when a cat enters LavvieBot.
1) It also controls its operation when a cat or person is detected in and around the litter tray.
· Check the STATUS indicator light
When the level of litter in the litter tray is low, it will automatically add a certain amount of
2) litter from the storage.
· When the litter is filled, the lamp light is blue; red when the litter is less than half full; red light blinks when it is empty.
· You can change the set-up amount of litter in the tray
When the set time passes after your cat leaves the litter tray, the separator will sift and separate the
3) solid waste from the tray into the waste drawer.
·You can also adjust the Wait Time depending on the type of litter and cat's bowel movement habits.
(see p.11-12 Indicator Lights and Button Functions)
(see p.11-12 Indicator Lights and Button Functions).
(see p.11-12 Indicator Lights and Button Functions).
All you need to do is making sure that there is a plenty of litter in the litter storage and changing the waste bag (emptying the drawer) when it is full.
LavvieBot is designed to work automatically. However, if you wish to operate it manually, refer to p.11-12 Indicator Lights and Button Functions.
Acclimating Your Cat
1. Place the LavvieBot in the same location where a previous litter box was and allow your cat to have easy access to the new litter box.
2. If your cat is not getting used to the LavvieBot, try putting one or two pieces of the cat’s waste into the litter tray. Or you can mix the litter in the tray with a cup of litter from the old litter box.
3. If the cat still does not use LavvieBot, try the following directions;
1) Open the side door, lift the separator after pressing the SEPARATE button, and remove the litter tray (see p.15).
2) Let your cat use the litter tray as if it were a usual litter box.

How to Refill Litter
Set up the machine and fill the litter tray with cat litter. Please use clumping cat litter types for LavvieBot
(recommend using LavvieSand for the best performance).
Do not use clay litter, silicone-based litters, or some natural litters with weak clumpings and big-sized particles. LavvieBot can have a maximum of 12 liters
(5-5.5 liters in Litter Tray and 6.5 Liters in Litter Storage).
There are two ways to refill the litter.
IMPORTANT If you are using natural litter (1. when the first litter to start LavvieBot is natural litter 2. when changing
to natural litter from bentonite litter), you must follow “2. When a Litter tray is manually refilled” to proceed
1. When a Litter Tray is filled from a Litter Storage
1) Open the top lid of a litter storage and pour the litter in it.
2) Press and hold the Separator button untill the red SEPARATE indicator light turns off. Then, the separator will retract itself towards the back and this status is called a Basic mode. Press the STORAGE button to fill litter to the litter tray after the separator is in Basic mode.
3) Open the top lid of a litter storage and pour the litter in it.
4) Put extra litter into the litter storage and then it is all set.
2. When a Litter tray is manually refilled
1) Open the side door as shown in the picture below and make sure the separator is lifted towards the entrance. If not, press the SEPARATE button to move the separator so that the tray can be taken out.
2) Remove the tray from LavvieBot and look for a line marked inside. This is the baseline that litter has to be filled up to and spread flat. After adding the litter up to the line and make it flat, press and hold the LITTER button for a long time to complete the set-up which is setting up the amount of litter for LavvieBot.

FAQs
Q. What should I do if my cat’s stool is watery or mushy?
A. If your cat’s stool is watery or mushy, it might take a while for the litter to be hardened. In this case, set up the Wait Time to a longer period to give enough time for litter to be hardened so that LavvieBot can clean the clumping.
Q. Is there a recommended size/weight limit of cats to use LavvieBot?
A. We recommend cats weighing between 7.5kg ~ 1kg to use it, but not applicable to large size of breeds such as Maine Coon.
Q. My cat has short legs and joint problems. Isn’t the entrance too high for my cat?
A. The height of LavvieBot’s entrance is similar to that of a two-story wooden litter box. If your cat’s legs are not strong, we recommend placing a cat stair or a cushion in front of the entrance.
Q. Can I use tofu cat litter?
A. Yes, but you must only use the one with small particles, which is compatible with LavvieBot.
Q. Do I have to use a custom-fit waste bag?
A. You can use any bag as long as it fits into the unit but recommend using the custom-fit waste bag. If the size does not match with a waste drawer, LavvieBot may misrecognize that the waste is full and notify you with an inaccurate info.
Q. How much litter does it use?
A. LavvieBot can contain up to 12L of litter in total (about 5 to 5.5L in the litter tray and
6.5L in the litter storage).
Q. What happens if my cat enters LavvieBot while it is cleaning?
A. If your cat enters the machine during the auto cleaning, its front infrared sensor will instantly detect the movement, and the separator will be shifted to standby mode immediately.
Q. Can LavvieBot distinguish cats?
A. It can distinguish cats as long as their weight difference is about 1.6lb or more. However, we are working on a cat pendant to help LavvieBot identify cats regardless of their weight.
Q. Do I have to remove all the litter before changing a litter type?
A. Please empty both litter tray and litter storage before changing the litter type. Try not to have/use mixed litter when replacing litter types.
Q. Do I need to replace damaged silicone parts?
A. You may use LavvieBot without the silicone parts; however, for those who want to replace it, contact a customer center for service. Please note that such service will be charged accordingly.

FAQs
Q. What does Location mean in LavvieBot mobile application?
A. It means the location where your cat and LavvieBot are placed. It is mandatory to choose the Location when registering your cat and LavvieBot.
Q. What is included in the Location?
A. The Location includes Cat, LavvieBot, and User. It shows the location of cat(s) and LavvieBot(s), and user can check such information by entering that location.
Q. What is Authority of Location? What is Authority given at a location?
A. There are Super User and User. A Super User is the person who creates a Location and holds an authority to delete that Location. One can not only register and change the information of Cat and LavvieBot, but also choose the next Super User and grant authority when leaving the location. However, non-Super User can only access to information of the Location as a participant.
Q. How should I distinguish the Location?
A. You can distinguish Location based on your cat’s daily living space. For example, if you have two LavvieBots in your house and multiple cats are using both LavvieBots, all your cats and the LavvieBots should be registered under the same Location. If your cats have their own preference and use only one of the two LavvieBots, register them under a different Location accordingly so that you can have precise information.
