The PETKIT PURA MAX Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box is an advanced device designed to automate the cat litter cleaning process, offering convenience for pet owners and a consistently clean environment for cats. This user manual provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
Function Description
The PETKIT PURA MAX is a smart self-cleaning cat litter box that automatically cleans after your cat has used it. It features a cylindrical design with an internal litter sifter that separates waste from clean litter. The waste is then deposited into a sealed waste container, minimizing odors and the need for frequent manual scooping. The device integrates with a mobile application, allowing for remote control and monitoring of its status.
Key functional components include:
- Cylinder: The main rotating drum where the cat litter is held and the cleaning process takes place.
- Litter Sifter: An internal component that sifts through the litter to separate clumps and solid waste.
- Proximity Sensor: Detects when a cat approaches or enters the litter box, pausing operations for safety.
- Waste Container: A removable container designed to collect waste, which is then sealed to contain odors.
- OLED Display: Provides real-time information about the device's status, such as cleaning mode, cat toileting times, and fault indications.
- Menu Button and OK Button: Used for navigating and selecting functions on the device's display.
- Odor Eliminator N50: An accessory designed to further reduce odors within the waste container.
- Power Port: For connecting the power adapter to the main unit.
Usage Features
The PETKIT PURA MAX offers several user-friendly features, accessible both through the device's control panel and the PETKIT mobile application:
- Self-Cleaning: The primary function, initiated automatically after a cat uses the litter box, or manually via the "Begin self-cleaning" option on the device or app. This ensures a fresh litter bed for each use.
- Maintenance Mode: This mode positions the cylinder opening upwards and keeps it still, making it easy to clean the device or add new cat litter. It can be activated via the device's menu or the app.
- Litter Leveling: After adding new cat litter, the device can automatically level it off to the optimal height, ensuring even distribution. This function is available via a double-click of the OK button on the device.
- Empty Cat Litter: This feature, accessible through the app, allows for the complete emptying of remaining cat litter from the cylinder, particularly useful before deep cleaning or changing litter types. A cat litter remover accessory is used for this process.
- Smart Deodorization: The device can spray deodorizer to maintain freshness. This function can be initiated manually via the "Spray deodorization" option on the device or through the app's "Odor removal now" feature. The Odor Eliminator N50 accessory is crucial for this.
- App Connectivity (Wi-Fi): The device connects to the PETKIT app via Wi-Fi, enabling remote control, status monitoring, and access to advanced settings. The app displays total cat toileting times, real-time cat weight (if applicable), remaining cat litter levels, and the service life of the odor eliminator.
- Kitten Mode: A safety feature for kittens or pregnant cats. When activated, the device disables automatic and periodic cleaning, requiring manual cleaning via the "Clean now" button. This prevents potential harm to smaller or more vulnerable cats.
- Rotation Without Interruption: This setting determines whether the device pauses operation if a cat approaches during cleaning. When off, the device stops for safety. When on, it continues to rotate, which may reduce the chance of secretions leaking if a cat enters while the cylinder opening is facing down.
- Internal Lighting: The app allows users to turn on a light inside the cylinder to check on their cat or inspect the litter box's interior.
- Fault Indication: The OLED display and app provide alerts for various issues, such as an uninstalled odor purifier, failure to start (often due to the cylinder knob not being locked), a cat being inside the litter box during operation (which pauses the device), or general device malfunctions. Detailed fault information is available in the app.
Maintenance Features
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for the longevity and hygiene of the PETKIT PURA MAX. The manual outlines a clear process for disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling the key components:
- Emptying Cat Litter: Before any deep cleaning, the remaining cat litter should be emptied. This involves installing the cat litter remover accessory into the sifter and using the "Empty cat litter" function in the app.
- Disassembling Cylinder: The side cover needs to be removed, followed by disassembling the lock components, and then lifting the cylinder upwards. It is crucial to turn off or unplug the device before this step.
- Disassembling Litter Sifter: After removing the cylinder, the litter sifter can be detached by grasping it, pressing it inward to bend it slightly, and pulling it out from its buckles.
- Cleaning Components:
- The cylinder and litter sifter should be washed with moderate amounts of detergent and rinsed thoroughly.
- The main unit's surface and interior should be wiped clean with a wet towel, paying special attention to the proximity sensor to ensure it remains clean and functional.
- Important Note: All parts must be completely dry before reassembly. The main unit itself should only be wiped clean and never rinsed or immersed in water to prevent damage.
- Reassembling Litter Sifter: The sifter is reinstalled by securing its front side into point 'a', pressing it inward until slightly bent, and then securing the other side into point 'b'. The installation is complete if the sifter can be shaken back and forth.
- Reassembling Cylinder: The cylinder is reinstalled, ensuring its buckles are firmly fastened.
- Reinstalling Side Cover: Finally, the side cover is screwed back on, and the magnetic side cover is re-installed.
The PETKIT PURA MAX is designed to provide a hassle-free and hygienic solution for cat litter management, with intuitive controls and clear maintenance guidelines to ensure a clean and safe environment for both pets and their owners.
