Setup Instructions

1. Unpack and Assemble: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Place the food bowl stand and stainless steel bowl in position at the base of the feeder.
2. Power Supply:
   • AC Power: Connect the power adapter (if included) to the feeder's power port and plug it into a standard wall outlet.
   • Battery Power: Open the battery compartment (usually at the bottom) and insert three D-type batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Batteries provide backup power or primary power if AC is not used.
3. Install Desiccant Bag: Locate the desiccant bag holder, typically under the lid. Insert the desiccant bag to absorb moisture and keep food fresh. Replace the desiccant bag periodically (e.g., monthly).
4. Fill Food Reservoir: Open the lid and pour dry pet food into the reservoir. Ensure the food pellet size is between 2mm and 15mm to prevent dispensing issues. Do not overfill.
5. Secure Lid: Close the lid firmly to maintain food freshness and prevent pets from accessing the food prematurely.
