How To Clean My PetSafe® ScoopFree® Clumping Self-Cleaning Litter Box
Regular monthly cleaning can reduce odor and extend the life of your litter box.
Avoid using soaps, cleaners, or chemicals with strong odors or cat-repellant scents like citrus, lavender, peppermint, etc.
Unplug the power adapter from the wall outlet and disconnect it from the litter box.
Remove the waste bin. Then remove the waste bincover by lifting it and sliding it forward out of the litter box frame.
Empty the litter for the waste bin or if you use one, remove and dispose of the waste bin liner.
Open the rake covers.
Release the rake by rotating the left and right thumb screws one-quarter turn.
Lift the rake straight up and out of the litter box frame.
Lift the front of the litter box frame and remove the litter tray. Lower the litter box frame back onto the floor.
Gripping the handles at the front and back of the litter tray, tip the used litter out of the litter tray and into a trash bag or trash can.
Wash the litter tray, waste bin, and waste bin cover by hand or in your dishwasher.
The rake is not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed.
Clean all six detection sensors on the interior sides (3 on each side) of the litter box even if the sensors look clean. Waste can cause a film on the sensors and interfere with their detection abilities. Rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab work best for this.
Wipe all surfaces on the litter box frame with a cloth or sponge using mild soap and water. Wipe the rake with a sponge or soft brush.
DO NOT use any soaps or cleaners that would leave residue on the sensors. DO NOT use bleach or chemicals to clean as they can act as a repellent to your cat.
Thoroughly dry all parts before reassembling the litter box. Then fill it with fresh litter.
Tip: Spray the rake with cooking spray and let it set to dry before reinstalling. This will help prevent items from sticking to the rake.
IMPORTANT: Never spray the cooking spray onto the rake when installed in the litter box. This can cause the litter to clump very hard and potentially lead to damage.
Reassemble the litter box.
IMPORTANT: Installing the rake with the bar facing the back of the litter box and locking the rake in are essential.
Refill the litter box up to the maximum fill line.
