Operating Instructions
Using the Pettadore App
The primary method for controlling your Nutri Turn feeder is through the Pettadore smartphone application. This allows for precise scheduling and monitoring of your pet's meals.
- Meal Scheduling: Within the app, you can set up to six different feeding times per day. Each time corresponds to one of the feeder's compartments.
- Customizing Portions: Fill each compartment with the appropriate portion size for your pet. The app manages the rotation, not the quantity per compartment.
- Manual Feeding: The app allows you to dispense a meal instantly, overriding the schedule if needed.
- Feeding Notifications: Enable notifications in the app to receive alerts when a meal has been dispensed. A bell sound will also play from the feeder to alert your pet.
- Monitoring: The app provides a log of feeding activities, allowing you to track your pet's meal consumption.

Troubleshooting
