- Rinse all parts (except the pump and adapter) thoroughly with water before first use.

- Place a filter into the filter tray on the top plate. Ensure it sits securely.

Operating Instructions
The Veken Cat Water Fountain offers features to enhance your pet's drinking experience:
- Water Level Indicator: The transparent window on the side of the fountain allows you to easily monitor the water level. Ensure the water level remains above the MIN line to prevent pump damage.
- LED Light Feature: The fountain includes an optional LED light. This light illuminates the water level and fountain location, making it easier for pets to find in low light conditions and for owners to check water levels. The on/off switch for the LED light is located on the power cord.
- Two Flow Modes: The fountain supports two distinct water flow designs:
- Flower Waterfall: Provides multiple streams of water, ideal for picky pets who prefer dynamic water flow.
- Gentle Fountain: Achieved by removing the flower spout, this mode offers a bubbling surface, suitable for pets who prefer a calmer drinking experience or require more space.
- Ultra-Quiet Operation: The pump is designed for quiet operation (≤30 dB), ensuring it does not disturb your pets or household.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity of your fountain and your pet's health:
- Daily Water Refill: Check the water level daily and refill as needed to ensure continuous operation and prevent the pump from running dry.
- Weekly Cleaning:
- Unplug the fountain and disassemble all components.
- Wash the stainless steel fountain body, top plate, and flower spout with mild soap and water. These parts are easy to clean and BPA-free.
- Clean the pump thoroughly. Remove the pre-filter sponge and clean any debris from the pump's intake.
- Rinse all components thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
- Reassemble the fountain as per the setup instructions.
- Filter Replacement: The advanced 5-stage filtration system delivers clean water for up to 3 weeks. For optimal performance and your pet’s health, replace the filter every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if you have multiple pets or notice reduced water flow.
