2. Setup Instructions

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure you have the base, two dispenser units with knobs, two transparent canisters, and two lids.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all removable parts (canisters, lids, and dispensing mechanisms) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. The main base can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
3. Assemble the Dispenser:
   • Place the two dispenser units onto the base, ensuring they snap securely into position.
   • Attach the transparent canisters to the top of the dispenser units.
   • Ensure the dispensing knobs are properly aligned and securely attached to the paddle wheels inside the dispenser.
4. Fill Canisters: Open the lids and pour your desired dry food into each canister. Do not overfill.
5. Secure Lids: Place the lids firmly back onto the canisters to ensure an airtight seal.

3. Operating Instructions

The Honey-Can-Do Dry Food Dispenser is designed for simple, mess-free operation and portion control.

1. Position Bowl: Place a bowl directly under the dispensing spout.
2. Dispense Food: Twist the chrome knob clockwise. The flexible paddle wheel inside will rotate, dispensing approximately one ounce of dry food with each full twist. Continue twisting until the desired amount is reached.
3. Maintain Freshness: After dispensing, ensure the bottom cap is securely in place to maintain the airtight seal and prevent food from going stale.

• Disassembly for Cleaning: To clean, carefully remove the canisters and dispensing units from the base. The bottom tray is also removable for easy access to any crumbs or spills.
• Washing: Hand wash all removable parts with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembly. The product is not dishwasher safe.

5. Troubleshooting

• Food Not Dispensing:
  • Check if the canister is empty or if the food is jammed. Gently shake the canister to dislodge any blockages.
  • Ensure the dispensing knob is fully engaged with the paddle wheel.
• Cereal Crushing: The flexible paddle wheel is designed to minimize crushing. However, very delicate or large flake cereals may experience some breakage. This is normal for this type of dispensing mechanism.
• Food Going Stale: Ensure both the top lids and the bottom caps are securely in place after each use to maintain the airtight seal.
• Messy Spills: The portion control system is designed to reduce spills. Ensure the bowl is positioned correctly and avoid excessive or rapid twisting of the knob.
