Maximizing Litter Tray Life
Here are some tips to help get the most life from the PetSafe

Disposable Crystal Litter Tray:
• The crystal litter trays work best if placed AWAY from areas of high humidity such as bathrooms, showers and basements. Moisture in the air can
shorten the life of the crystal litter and disposable tray. Place the PetSafe

litter box in a room with moving air to pull away moisture,
such as a room with a fan.
• Cats with diets high in crude fiber and ash content will produce more solid waste, which may prematurely fill the waste trap. Consider changing
your cat’s diet to a food with no byproducts or fillers.
• Increased elimination habits of older cats and cats with diabetes, kidney and thyroid problems may result in a shorter tray life.
• Stirring the crystals once a week may help the tray life for cats that are ill or have a high urine output. Stirring will also distribute saturated crystals,
which will also help with cats who consistently urinate in the same spot or do not dig. Be sure to mix in the crystal litter from behind the rake and
along the sides of the litter box, but do not mix in litter from under the waste trap.
• Kittens are not as developed, so their solid waste can be runny. Kittens will go through litter trays faster than adult cats, so it is recommended to
use PetSafe

litter box with cats that are older than 6 months.

Self-Cleaning Litter Box seldom needs to be cleaned because of its
revolutionary design. Surfaces that would normally become soiled are discarded with each
disposable litter tray. However, you may occasionally choose to clean the litter box.
1. Unplug the power adaptor from the wall outlet, and disconnect it from the litter box.
2. Lift and remove the litter box frame from the crystal litter tray.
3. Remove the waste trap lid by lifting it up until it pops out of the notches on the litter box base.
Be sure to pull straight up on the waste trap lid when removing it. Do not pull up one side at a
time! Pulling one side up first can result in the pegs at the base of the waste trap cover getting
caught in the notches on the litter box frame and breaking off.
4. 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 bleach or chemicals to clean as
they can act as a repellent to your cat.
5. Clean the detection sensors on the interior sides of the litter box frame to make sure they are not blocked.
6. Thoroughly dry all parts before reassembling the litter box.
7. Replace the waste trap lid, and install a new litter tray (see “Litter Box Setup” on page 6).
Do not submerge or expose the electrical components to water or cleaning solutions.
Always unplug the unit when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
