Operating Instructions
1. Scheduling Meals
Use the PETLIBRO App to set up a feeding schedule. You can program up to 10 meals per day, specifying the time and number of portions for each meal.
2. Manual Dispensing
To dispense food manually, use the 'Feed Now' option within the PETLIBRO App. You can select the desired number of portions to be dispensed immediately.
3. Recording Meal Calls
Within the app, navigate to the 'Meal Call' section. You can record a personalized voice message (up to 10 seconds) that will play when food is dispensed. This feature can help attract your pet to their meal.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
The feeder's food tank and stainless steel bowl are detachable for easy cleaning. Hand wash these parts only. Do not wash the feeder base as it contains electronic components. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly and use.

2. Desiccant Bag Replacement
The built-in desiccant bag helps keep food fresh. It is recommended to replace the desiccant bag every two weeks to maintain optimal freshness.
Troubleshooting
- Food Jam: If food gets jammed, the infrared sensor will detect it, and dispensing will stop. You will receive a notification on the app. Clear the obstruction and ensure kibble size is within the recommended 2-15mm range.
- Low Food/Battery: The feeder will send notifications to your phone and display red indicator lights when the food tank is empty or the battery is low. Refill food or replace batteries as needed.
- Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is stable and within range. The feeder supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. If issues persist, try restarting your router and the feeder, then attempt to reconnect via the app.
