3. Filling Food Trays
Open the top lid of the feeder. The feeder has five individual compartments, each with a capacity of 240ml. Fill each compartment with your pet's dry or semi-wet food.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Feeder
Regular cleaning ensures hygiene and proper operation. The food tray is removable for easy cleaning.
- Turn off the feeder and disconnect the power adapter.
- Remove the top lid and lift out the food tray.
- Wash the food tray and lid with warm, soapy water. The manufacturer recommends hand washing only.
- Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and refilling.
Note: If using semi-wet food, clean the trays daily to prevent spoilage and bacterial growth.
Troubleshooting
- Feeder not dispensing food: Check if the power adapter is securely connected or if batteries are properly installed and have sufficient charge. Ensure no food particles are obstructing the rotation mechanism.
- Feeder dispensing at incorrect times: Verify that the current time is set correctly and that all programmed meal times are accurate. If the internal clock becomes inaccurate, reset the time settings.
- Pet accessing food prematurely: Ensure the top lid is securely fastened. If your pet is particularly persistent, consider additional securing methods to prevent unauthorized access.
- Loud beeping from buttons: The control buttons emit an audible beep upon press. This is a normal function and cannot be adjusted.
- No cooling mechanism: This feeder does not include a cooling mechanism. It is primarily designed for dry food. If using semi-wet food, ensure it is consumed within 24 hours to prevent spoilage.
