When it acts up
From the troubleshooting section of the manual, in plain words.
A clump of waste was not emptied into the waste bin
Why: The trash door is jammed, the garbage bag is full, or the clump is too big for the trash door.
What to do: Check the trash door opens and closes freely, replace a full bag, and break up large clumps.1
Litter stays in the cylinder after a litter change cycle
Why: The garbage bag is too full or there is too much litter in the pan.
What to do: Replace the bag and run the litter change again; keep the litter near the MIN line before a change.1
The box did not stop when the cat entered
Why: Eviction mode is on, or a litter leveling / weight calibration cycle was running (these do not stop).
What to do: Turn off eviction mode in the app.1
