Operating Instructions
Once set up, the feeder operates automatically. The timer mechanism will count down, and the lid will open at the scheduled time, providing access to the food.
- Ensure the feeder is placed on a stable, flat surface where your pet can easily access it.
- Monitor your pet's initial reaction to the feeder to ensure they are comfortable eating from it.
- The timer is analog, so precise timing may vary slightly. Adjust as needed based on your pet's feeding schedule and behavior.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygienic operation of your pet feeder.
- Cleaning: The food tray is dishwasher-safe for convenient and thorough cleaning. For other parts, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the AA battery when the feeder no longer opens at the set time or if the timer mechanism slows down. There is no low battery indicator, so proactive replacement is recommended.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PAWISE Automatic Pet Feeder, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Feeder does not open at scheduled time. | Battery is low or dead. Timer not set correctly. | Replace the AA battery. Re-check the timer setting and ensure it is wound correctly. |
| Timer seems inaccurate. | Analog timer inherent variability. | Due to the analog nature, minor variations are expected. Adjust the setting slightly if consistent deviation is observed. |
| Food is not fresh (for wet food). | Ice pack not used or not sufficiently chilled. | Ensure the reusable ice pack is thoroughly frozen before placing it in the feeder. For extended periods, consider alternative cooling methods or dry food. |
