This situation is usually caused by a high-current short-circuit problem on the motherboard. Is the adapter here provided with the machine? If it is not the adapter that comes with the machine, it is possible that the power of the adapter is not enough. You can try changing to a more powerful adapter. If it still doesn't work, you need to replace the machine's motherboard.

If you haven't already, please set a cleaning delay time in the app.
For example, if set to 10 minutes, it means that the machine will not start cleaning mode until 10 minutes after the cat leaves and the litter clumps. Note: Cat litter boxes cannot automatically be cleaned immediately after the cat leaves.

If a cat enters accidentally while the UV lamp is on, the litter box will promptly detect and stop the UV operation.

We recommend utilizing a mixed litter, such as plant-based or bentonite litter, for optimal performance. Ensure that the litter used has granules shorter than 5mm to achieve the best results.

Please inspect the bottom of the trash box for any obstructions. Afterward, reinstall the trash box.

ELS PET Litter Box requires a 2.4 GHz WiFi signal and IPv4 or IPv6 addressing (5 GHz band not supported).

Connecting steps
Place your cat litter box close to the router as much as possible, and connect your smartphone to a 2.4G Wi-Fi network.
1. Open the app and register an account.

4. Type the Wi-Fi password. Please note that the device can only connects to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
5. Press the first and second buttons on the device until it emits a "beep" sound and its indicator flashes.
6. Wait for the network connection.
*The connection will be completed within 1min. If the connection consumes over 1min, the network will be cut off automatically, and you have to disconnect and then reconnect the power supply, and connect the device to a network again.
7. When the connection is completed (the indicator is constantly on), tap the self-cleaning cat litter box.

Yes. ELS PET Litter Box uses laser and Infrared sensor technology to detect when your cat enters and exits the globe, which triggers the countdown timer and cleaning cycle. So it has almost no weight limit for cats. Due to the small size of kittens born within one month, it may occasionally cause the infrared sensor to fail to detect kittens born within one month.Therefore, kittens that born within one month or weigh less than 2.3 lbs can use ELS PET Litter Box, but not in automatic mode. Until they weigh enough or born over 1 month old, we recommend using your ELS PET Litter Box in Manual cleanup mode to keep your kitten safe and relieve you from litter box scooping. For Manual cleanup mode, we recommend that you leave ELS PET Litter Box powered off or unplugged to save electricity bills. When you see your kitten has used it, wait about 10 minutes for the waste to clump, then power it on. ELS PET Litter Box will automatically perform a clean cycle. Afterward, power it off again. Continue this supervised, semi-automatic mode until your kittens have gained sufficient weight to activate the Infrared sensor.We advise against allowing kittens or cats that weigh 3.3 pounds or less to use the litter box in automatic mode without supervision. Their lighter weight may not trigger the cat sensor properly. Cats should weigh at least 5 pounds to safely use the litter box in automatic mode.

"Introducing a new litter box to your cat? Fear not! These proven methods will help your feline friend adapt to the Els Pet litter box in no time:

Leave it turned off:
Start by keeping the smart litter box turned off to prevent startling your cat. Once they've used it, activate it for a cleaning cycle. Encourage your cat to be present during this to familiarize them with its motion and sounds while you're there to reassure them.

Stop scooping the old box:
Place the Els Pet litter box near the old one without discarding the old box yet. Add a bit of the old litter to the new box to provide a familiar scent. Let waste accumulate in the old box gradually to make it less appealing, motivating your cat to use the new one.

Create positive associations:
If your cat seems uninterested, use catnip or treats to entice them near the Els Pet litter box. Place treats around the box, associating rewards with the new space. Reward your cat with treats, playtime, and affection when they use the new litter box.

Make it attractive:
Consider using cat-attracting products or additives in the litter. Ensure the Els Pet litter box is easily accessible and not placed in a corner that might make your cat feel trapped. Try opening the safety door to make the installation more inviting, as cats are naturally curious and love exploring boxes."
