Even a Self-Washing Cat Box is still an appliance and needs a little TLC to keep running its best.
CATGENIE MAINTENANCE
To put it plainly, your CatGenie handles cat waste and to keep it running well, it needs to be cleaned occasionally. Imagine never cleaning your own toilet? Gross! A clean CatGenie is a happy CatGenie and a few simple tasks each year will keep it running well longer.
If your household has 1 to 2 cats per CatGenie, we recommend:
2x per year Disassembly & Deep Cleaning
AND
4x per year Machine Washing Soak
Our recommendation is to have 1 CatGenie per 2-3 cats in your home. If more than 3 cats are using each CatGenie in your home, you may need to increase your cleaning frequency accordingly.

Recommended Maintenance Tasks
Disassembly & Manual Deep Cleaning
CatGenie is an appliance and includes many moving parts. Add that to the fact that it handles cat waste, it is easy to see why it needs a deep clean on occasion. Taking apart your Unit and cleaning each component is the best way to keep it error-free and smelling great.
What do you need to do? Take apart your CatGenie and gently scrub the components to remove any hair, debris or buildup twice per year.
Machine Washing Soak
The CatGenie Machine Washing Soak uses the power of Citric Acid to clean all the nooks and crannies inside your machine and remove lime and mineral deposits with a gentle but effective soak. When diluted for cleaning, the powder is safe for pets, people and plumbing.
What do you need to do? 1. Deactivate auto settings, and run a regular cycle with a solution cartridge to remove waste and to check if your CatGenie is working properly (or perform after a complete and successful cleaning cycle).
2. Once the regular cycle is completed, remove the processing unit and hopper cover, place the processing unit on a towel on the floor and lean it against the wall.
3. Pour warm water into a CatGenie bowl to half an inch above the granular fill line indent inside the bowl.
Prepare the Cleaning Mixture: 1. Pour entire contents of this pack into a bucket.
2. Carefully add a half gallon (2 L ) of 175Ā°F /80 C water to the powder in the bucket and stir the mixture until fully dissolved in the hot water.
3. Very carefully pour the mixture from the bucket into the hopper, and let the solution soak in the catch for two hours. After two hours put the processing unit securely back into its slot (replace the Hopper cover and GenieDome if applicable). The unit will light up and will detect the bowl is full of water, and will run a drain wash and dry cycle, and be ready to use.

SUPPLIES MAINTENANCE FAQs
How Often Should I Change My Washable Granules?
You NEVER need to change out your Washable Granules for new ones*. We designed our CatGenie to wash our Granules clean as new for repeated use. A single box of Washable Granules can last a single-cat family as long as 6 months under typical usage circumstances.
What do you need to do? Empty a single box of Washable Granules into the GenieBowl when you assemble your CatGenie and replenish whenever kick-out or scoop-up lowers the fill level below the indented line. That's it!
*On the very rare occasion (for most cats) that your cat has liquid feces, the CatGenie A.I. has a special cycle to handle this. In the CatGenie A.I. app, select "Devices", then select "Settings" āļø, "Cycle Settings" , finally, choose the "No Scoop Cleaning Cycle (Wash Only)" for effective cleaning.

Our patented SaniSolution Cartridges dispense the perfect amount of concentrated cleaning solution during every cycle. A Cartridge is designed to clean for 120 cycles with Time Activated or Manual Activated schedule modes. Or you can DOUBLE the life of your Cartridges by running your CatGenie on Cat Activation mode.*
