How to Clean the LitterYou will need mild soap, a cleaning brush or sponge, cloth, and disinfectant. You may also need a vacuum and a hose. Never use harsh chemicals such as bleach,as this can be corrosive to the metal parts in your Litter-Robot. You should never submerge the base or bonnet in water because they contain electronics. First, dump the litter into the waste drawer by pressing empty on the control panel. The globe will rotate, dumping the litter into the waste drawer. Using a brush or broom, remove any remaining litter. Press any button to return the globe to the home position. Then empty the waste drawer. Press the power button to turn off the unit and save your settings.
Unplug the unit. . |
If you have the Open Air model, you will need to remove the bonnet by pressing and releasing the latches on both sides of the bonnet, then lift and rotate the bonnet off the globe and carefully set aside. If you have the Litter-Robot II Classic or Bubble, you will need to remove the lip extender by lifting it off the lip of the globe. Remove the globe and set aside. Remove the waste drawer from the base. Remove the filter from the waste drawer. You can get litter granules out of the Open Air step mat by flexing it upside down, then rinse with water. If needed, use a brush to remove stuck-on litter. Remove all litter granules and dust from the unit. You can use a vacuum, if needed. The base and bonnet cannot be soaked because they contain electronics. Instead, they can be cleaned with a cloth dampened with disinfectant.

Be sure to avoid any of the electronics or metal pieces. If you have an Open Air, check the drawer full indicator lenses. These are located just inside the waste opening on the base of the unit. Wipe off any debris found on these. Rinse the filter with water. If you need a new filter, they can be ordered at our website. Wash the globe and waste drawer with a mild soap and cleaning brush or sponge. I'm cleaning this in a tub, but it can bed one outside with a hose, or at a self-serve car wash. Note that the globe does not need to be further disassembled for cleaning, and again, never use harsh chemicals on your Litter-Robot.. Once the globe and waste drawer are thoroughly cleaned, allow them to dry completely. If it isn't dry, the litter box will clump prematurely and may get clogged in the ports or litter pocket. Place the carbon filter in the waste drawer.

Install a drawer liner in the waste drawer. Insert the waste drawer into the base. Return the globe to the tracks and home position. If you have an Open Air, place the key into the key pocket at the back of the unit.
You will also need to replace the bonnet on the Open Air. Align the rear tabs on either side of the bonnet with the small holes in the base. Then rotate the bonnet downward, aligning the snaps with the slots on either side, and snap into place. You should also make sure the shield is in the track. If it isn't, place it back in the track by gently pulling the shield downward, and releasing back into place. On the Open Air, you will also need to replace the step mat. For Litter-Robot II Classic or Bubble units,reinstall the lip extender. |
The lip extender fits snugly over the lips,so make sure it's level before you press down. It's helpful to lubricate the lip with something like Windex so you can adjust its position. Make sure the tab on the outside of the globes its between the door lever and the rubber liner. Then press down and lock into place. Next, add litter to the globe. Plug in the power supply and press the power button to turn the unit back on. Once it completes the initialization cycle,your Litter-Robot is ready for use. |
