Maintenance
Cleaning
The feeder features a detachable design for easy cleaning. The food tank, stainless steel bowl, and bowl holder can be removed and washed.

Regular cleaning ensures hygiene and prolongs the life of the feeder.
Troubleshooting
- Feeder Malfunction: If the equipment is malfunctioning or damaged, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact the seller immediately for assistance.
- Food Not Dispensing: Check if the food tank is empty or if the kibble size is too large (should be 0.07 to 0.4 inches). Ensure the anti-clogging mechanism is clear.
