Operating Instructions

1. Scheduling Meals via App

Use the PETLIBRO app to set up customized feeding schedules. You can define meal times, portion sizes, and frequency. The app allows for flexible adjustments to meet your pet's specific dietary needs.

2. Manual Feeding

For immediate feeding or to provide an extra treat, use the manual feeding option available in the app. This dispenses a pre-set portion of food on demand.

3. Adjustable Lid Settings

The feeder's lid speed can be adjusted to one of three modes, allowing your pet to adapt comfortably. The lid's closing time can also be customized to close within 1-10 seconds after your pet moves away from the sensor.

4. Monitoring Eating Habits (Pawsense™)

The Pawsense™ feature within the app monitors your pet's meal times and frequency, generating data reports that provide insights into their eating patterns. This helps you understand and manage their health more effectively.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential for hygiene and proper functioning. The stainless steel bowl can be removed and washed. The feeder base and RFID reader should only be wiped clean with a dry cloth. Do not submerge them in water.

2. Desiccant Bag Replacement

To ensure optimal food freshness, replace the desiccant bag located in the food tank every half month. This helps to absorb moisture and keep the kibble dry.

3. Recommended Kibble

Use only dry kibble with a diameter between 2mm and 15mm. This ensures smooth dispensing and prevents jams. Do not use wet pet food or kibble larger than 15mm.
