To put litter in a Litter-Robot, you fill the globe through the opening with clumping litter, ensuring it reaches the raised fill line when spread flat.
Here's a more detailed guide:
Steps to Add Litter to Your Litter-Robot 3:
-
Open the Globe: Make sure your Litter-Robot is powered off and the globe is in the home position (litter drawer beneath).
-
Locate the Opening: The globe has a large opening. This is where you'll add the litter.
-
Add Clumping Litter: Pour your clumping litter through the opening into the globe.
-
Fill to the Line: Spread the litter around the globe until it reaches the raised fill line inside. This generally requires about 8-10 pounds (4 kilos) by weight or 1 gallon (4L) by volume.
-
Avoid Overfilling: It is crucial not to overfill the globe. Overfilling can affect the unit's performance and prevent it from cycling properly.
-
Reset the Sensor: After filling, press the Reset button on the control panel. This calibrates the unit and ensures it knows the proper starting litter level.
Important Considerations:
- Type of Litter: Litter-Robot 3 is designed for use with clumping clay litter. Avoid using litters like strictly absorbent, non-clumping, loose-clumping, or wood-based litters. Crystal litters can be used, but only if they are small and clumping.
- Fill Line: Always refer to the fill line inside the globe. This is the most accurate way to determine the correct amount of litter.
- Frequency: Check and top off the litter level as needed, typically every few days or once a week, depending on usage.
- Performance: Properly filled, the Litter-Robot will keep your home cleaner and your cat happier!
By following these steps, you can easily and correctly add litter to your Litter-Robot, ensuring optimal performance and cleanliness.
