🐾 AS11 Open-Top Self-Cleaning Litter Box
Will my cat actually use AS11?
Most cats do. The open-top, wide entrance (16.33" × 15.35") feels like a regular litter box, so the transition is easy.
Tips to help hesitant cats:
- Place AS11 exactly where the old box used to be for 3–5 days.
- Mix a cup of old litter into the new litter so it smells familiar.
- Keep AS11 powered off the first day so your cat can explore it like a normal box; then turn on auto-cleaning.
Can kittens use AS11?
Yes — AS11 is suitable for kittens over 3 months old or weighing at least 3.3 lb (1.5 kg).
The open design makes it easy for younger cats to enter, while the gentle self-cleaning mechanism ensures complete safety.
What are the dimensions of AS11?
- Product Size: 21.25” (W) × 24” (H) × 16.33” (D)
- Entrance Size: 16.33” × 15.35”
- Waste Drawer Capacity: 10L (2.6 gal)
- Floor Space Required: Only 2.6 ft²
Compact yet spacious, AS11 fits beautifully in any modern living space.
How does AS11 protect my cat’s safety during operation?
AS11 uses multi-sensor protection to pause instantly if your cat approaches or re-enters:
- Infrared approach detection + weight detection to stop/avoid rotation.
- No exposed moving parts inside; smooth interior walls.
- Anti-pinch motor lock to prevent forced movement.
Raised back panel helps prevent splash for high-spraying cats.
Everything is tuned so cleaning won’t start until your cat is safely out.
How does the self-cleaning system work, and how long does a cycle take?
After your cat leaves, AS11 waits a short safety delay (a few minutes) then rotates to sift clumps into a sealed waste drawer.
- Cycle time: typically 2–3 minutes.
- Result: fresh litter surface, less odor, no daily scooping.
How quiet is AS11?
AS11 runs at ≤35 dB(library-quiet), so most cats nap through it.
If you’re noise-sensitive: place AS11 on a rug or litter mat to absorb vibration and keep the drum balanced to minimize sound.
How frequently should I empty the waste drawer?
For one cat, every 7–10 days.
For multiple cats, every 3–5 days.
The large-capacity waste drawer and sealed design minimize maintenance while keeping your home fresh.
Can AS11 help reduce litter tracking?
Yes. The front-entry ramp and anti-scatter grooves catch litter from your cat’s paws before they exit, significantly reducing mess around the box.
- Deeper drum keeps kicks inside;
- Raised entry lip helps catch loose granules;
- Pair with a textured litter mat in front of the unit to trap paw dust before it hits your floor.
What type and amount of litter should I use with AS11?
AS11 works best with standard clumping clay litter—no special litter required.
Fill to the MAX line (about 6–7 lb / ~3 kg) so the sifting system and sensors operate at peak performance. Avoid crystal or pellet litters as they may affect separation accuracy.
What happens if my cat tries to enter during cleaning?
The infrared sensors detect your cat’s approach within milliseconds, pausing all movement instantly.
Once no motion is detected for 5 seconds, the cleaning cycle safely resumes.
Are there any exposed mechanisms inside?
No. AS11 uses a smooth, fully enclosed sifting drum with no rakes, blades, or exposed wires — ensuring total safety and comfort.
How quiet is AS11?
At just 35 dB, AS11 is quieter than a whisper — perfect for day and night use.
Your cat can use it comfortably without stress, even during rest hours.
How do I clean AS11?
AS11 features a quick-release modular design.
Detach both side joints, lift the drum, and rinse it under water — the entire process takes less than 5 minutes.
We recommend a deep clean every 1–2 months for optimal hygiene.
How does the self-cleaning system work, and how long does a cleaning cycle take?
After your cat finishes and leaves the litter box, AS11 automatically begins a smart cleaning cycle.
The internal barrel gently rotates, separating clean litter from clumps and sealing waste in the drawer.
Each cycle takes about 3–4 minutes, ensuring quick and hygienic cleaning without disturbing your cat.
What power supply does AS11 use?
AS11 supports 100–240V AC input (global compatibility) and consumes only 6W per cleaning cycle, making it highly energy-efficient.
🐾 Post-Purchase (AS11 Open-Top Self-Cleaning Litter Box)
How do I set up my AS11?
Your AS11 arrives fully assembled and ready to use — no complicated setup required.
Simply place it on a flat surface, insert a liner into the waste drawer, and add litter up to the MAX line.
Plug it in, press the “Clean” button to activate the system, and the sensors will automatically calibrate.
Within minutes, your AS11 will be ready to provide your cat with a clean, quiet, and comfortable space.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep the litter box in the same location as your cat’s previous box for a smoother transition.
My cat doesn’t use the litter box — what should I do?
Cats are naturally curious but sometimes cautious about new environments.
Here’s how to help your cat fall in love with AS11:
- Place AS11 where the old litter box used to be. Familiar scents and surroundings reduce hesitation.
- Turn off auto-cleaning during the first few days and let your cat explore at their own pace.
- Mix a little old litter into the new box — this gives your cat a comforting, familiar scent.
- Use the open-top advantage. Cats love visibility and freedom; the open-top design helps them feel safe.
- Praise, don’t rush. Most cats fully adapt within a week once they realize how clean the box stays.
If your cat still hesitates, you can remove the waste drawer for a few days to make it feel more like a traditional litter box before re-enabling auto mode.
How do I set or adjust the automatic cleaning cycle?
AS11 begins cleaning automatically a few minutes after your cat exits.
If you prefer manual control:
- Press “Clean” once to start a cleaning cycle anytime.
- Hold “Clean” for 3 seconds to pause or stop mid-cycle.
- If your litter clumps slowly, simply wait longer before triggering manual clean for best results.
⚙️ Pro tip: Regular clumping clay performs best with a 5–10 minute delay before cleaning.
Why is there still some waste after cleaning?
Small residual clumps may occasionally remain if the litter hasn’t fully hardened.
Here’s how to optimize cleaning:
- Use medium-grain clumping litter for best results.
- Allow a longer waiting time before the cleaning cycle begins.
- Ensure the litter is filled to the MAX line for proper sifting.
How long does the deodorization or odor control last?
For one cat, odor control usually lasts 5–7 days before needing to empty the waste drawer.
To maintain freshness:
- Use drawstring or scented trash liners.
- Add a small baking soda pouch in the drawer for extra absorption.
- Keep the lid fully closed and change the litter monthly.
🐾 Multi-cat homes: empty the drawer every 2–3 days for best results.
What if the cleaning stops mid-cycle?
If AS11 pauses unexpectedly, it’s usually because it has detected motion nearby —
thanks to the 2 infrared and 2 Hall sensors that ensure your cat’s safety.
Once no motion is detected for 3 seconds, the cleaning will automatically resume.
If the issue persists, check that the unit is level and that no litter or debris is obstructing the drum.
How do I clean or disassemble the AS11?
For routine care:
- Weekly: Wipe the drum and rim with a soft damp cloth.
- Monthly: Remove the waste drawer and wash it with mild soap.
- Deep cleaning:
Hold “Clean” for 5 seconds to move the drum to open position.
Unlock the drum liner from both sides and lift it out.
Rinse the liner and base with warm water (avoid electronics).
Dry fully before reassembling.
⚠️ Never spray the control panel or motor area directly with water.
Can I use AS11 while I’m away from home?
Yes! AS11’s large 10L waste container can handle up to 10 days of use for one cat without manual scooping.
Before leaving, ensure you’ve added enough litter and replaced the liner.
The system automatically pauses cleaning if it detects motion, so you can travel confidently knowing your cat is safe and your home stays fresh.
