WHERE SHOULD CATGENIE GO?

If the CatGenie goes in a location different thanthe old litter box, DO NOT set up CatGenie yet.First move the old litter box to the new area.

CAUTION: If the litter box or boxes need to be moved a great distance, our cat behavioristsrecommend moving the old box or boxes little bylittle, slowly over time to the new location so thatyour cats can adjust to the change. When catsare comfortable, proceed with CatGenie set up.

BEFORE SETTING UP YOUR C ATGENIE, TAKE CARE OF YOUR CAT S !

TIP: Keep track of when your cats use the litter box. This will be helpful when you set up the auto start function.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I RUNMY CATGENIE?

One Cat..........Clean 1-2 times per day

Two Cats.........Clean 2-3 times per day

Three Cats.. . . . .Clean 3-4 times per day

Every cat is different. From our experience with over 15,000 cats, most, once shown the Bowl and Granules, know it’s where to go and use it immediately.If CatGenie is in the same place as the litter box, adjustment is usually easier.A percentage of cats need time to adjust to something new. During this time,

1) If your cats doN O T use CatGeniei m m e d i a t e l y, put theirold litter box nearby.DO NOT clean outold box. The dirtier itgets, the more catsprefer CatGenie. Once your cats useCatGenie, remove the old box and litter.

TIP: If having a problem gettingcat use to Granules, try mixingthem with litter BUT ONLY in thelitter box. Toss all the contentsonce the litter box is used.

2) When running CatGenie in the first week, shut the dooror make sure your cats are notn e a r b y. The new sound of thecleaning process might startlethem. Over time your cats willassociate the sound with theirn e w, always clean cat box.

3) Until your cats are comfortable with CatGenie,only press START CYCLE to initiate cleaning. In time,you can program the AutoSetup to start the CatGenieautomatically. See page 5 in Green Owner’s Guide.

NOTE: Unless you know that your cats are NOT using theCatGenie, it is important to run atleast one cleaning cycle per catevery day. Clean even if you donot see any waste in the box asurine does NOT show on theWashable Granules.

4) Check the CatGenie Cat Acclimation Guide fordetails. Guides are also on line at: c a t G e n i e . c o mat Customer Service To consult, call toll free: 1-888-SELF-WASH1-888-735-3927

YOUR CAT AND YOUR CATGENIE 6.it is safe and normal for cats to refrain from “going” in the first 24 to 48 hours. Do notmake a fuss over the CatGenie. Act normal, natural. Let your cats be curious. Do nothover about. Do not follow your cats into their bathroom. Praise and treat them whenthey use CatGenie. Orange Cat Acclimation Guide has full details and techniques.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING THE CLEANING?Bowl rotates and turns to the left and to the right

• Scoop Cycle: GenieHand comes down 3 times to remove solids. 5 min• Wash Cycle: After scooping, water flows in to cover Washable Granules.

During three wash cycles, SaniSolution with GenieHand scrubs Granules and Bowl. Hand moves to agitate Granules. Solids are liquefied inside the Hopper. Water and waste drains out. Interior is rinsed clean. 11 min

• Dry Cycle: GenieHand sifts through Granules for thorough drying. 16 min

• Cats Sleep: 15 to 20 hours per day. Run CatGenie while they sleep.

WARNING: Do NOT mix cat litter or add used litter with WashableGranules in theCatGenie Bowl. Cat litter causessevere damage tothe CatGenie and its use voids yourWarranty.
