3.2 Voice Recording
Record a 10-second voice message to call your pet to eat:
- Locate the microphone button on the control panel.
- Press and hold the record button, speak your message, and release the button to save. The message will play during scheduled meal times.
3.3 Manual Feeding

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
For thorough cleaning, the food tank and stainless steel bowl are detachable. Wash these components with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and ensure they are completely dry before reassembling. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
4.2 Food Freshness
The feeder features a sealed design and includes a desiccant compartment to help keep food fresh. Replace the desiccant regularly as needed.
4.3 Refilling Food
Monitor the food level in the transparent tank. Refill as necessary to ensure continuous feeding. The tank has a 4.5L capacity.
5. Troubleshooting
- Food Not Dispensing:
- Check if the food tank is empty.
- Ensure the food outlet is not blocked. The feeder has an anti-jam mechanism that stops dispensing if the outlet is obstructed. Clear any blockages.
- Verify that the kibble size is within the compatible range (2-15 mm).
