Emptying the Litter-Robot

1. 

Press the Empty button to cycle the Globe clockwise, which will allow the litter 
to fall through the Waste Port and into the Waste Drawer for easy disposal. 

2. 

If litter remains in the Globe, sweep the granules toward the Waste Port.  

3. 

Press any button to return the Globe to the Home position.

IMPORTANT:

 Supervise and prevent your cat from entering during the Empty Cycle, as 

the unit may not detect your cat without litter in it.

Cleaning the Globe

1. 

Press the Empty button to cycle the Globe clockwise, which will allow the litter 
to fall through the Waste Port and into the drawer for easy disposal. Sweep any 
leftover litter toward the Waste Port. Then, press any button to return the Globe 
to the Home position. Ensure that all litter has been removed from the Globe—
wet litter turns into messy clay!

2. 

Turn the Litter-Robot off and unplug the unit.

3. 

Remove the Bonnet: Press and release the snap tabs on both sides of the Bon-
net, then lift and rotate the Bonnet off of the Globe and carefully set it aside.

4. 

Remove the Globe: With two hands, lift the Globe off the Base.

5. 

Clean the Globe with water and a mild soap. There are no electronic compo-
nents in the Globe that can be damaged by soap and water. If the Globe has 
become extremely dirty, it can be soaked and cleaned with a water hose or 
power washer.  

6. 

Let the Globe dry completely before reassembling it to the Base and attaching 
the Bonnet (see page 30-31).

For a quick touchup, you can use a disposable towelette to wipe the inside and  
upper half of the Globe (without removing the litter). The Litter-Robot can be used  
immediately, since drying is nearly instantaneous.
