GIZMO Litter Box Setup

Follow seven simple steps to set up your GIZMO litter box for wood pellets, odor control, and a smooth first use. We're here to help.

  1. Position GIZMO on a flat surface in a quiet spot

    Choose a Spot

    Position the litter box on a flat surface in a quiet spot, away from high-traffic areas where your cat might be startled.

  2. Sprinkle pine wood pellets into the bottom bin

    Add Pellets to the Bottom Bin

    Sprinkle 1–2 handfuls of pine wood pellets into the bottom bin. This prevents urine from pooling while sawdust filters through after a fresh change.

  3. Place sieve on bottom bin and fill with pellets

    Fill the Sieve

    Place the sieve onto the bottom bin and fill it with about 2 cm (0.8") of pine wood pellets. Avoid overfilling — excess pellets accelerate soiling and shorten longevity.

  4. Place the base over the bottom layers

    Place the Base

    Set the base over the two bottom layers. For a new cat, start without the flap and cover so your cat can get comfortable in an open, welcoming space.

  5. Insert a roll of poop bags into the scoop

    Load the Poop Bags

    Open the back of the scoop and insert a roll of poop bags. Thread one bag through the front opening while it stays attached to the roll — always ready to use.

  6. Hang the scoop on the scoop ledge of the base

    Hang the Scoop

    Hang the scoop on the scoop ledge on the side of the base — inside or outside — wherever it's most convenient for you.

  7. Place the lid on the base for a closed litter box

    Add the Lid (Optional)

    Place the lid on the base for a closed litter box. The lid also doubles as a sieve holder while cleaning.

Pro tip

When cleaning, use the lid as a sieve holder — rest the sieve on the lid while you empty and refresh the bottom bin.
