Setup Instructions
1. Assembly
- Place the base unit on a flat, stable surface.
- Insert the stainless steel bowl into the designated slot on the base.
- For the food dispenser: Place the food container onto the base, ensuring it is securely seated. Then, place the lid on top of the food container.
- For the water dispenser: Fill the water bucket with clean water. Securely attach the cap to the water bucket. Invert the water bucket and place it onto the base, ensuring the cap engages with the siphon mechanism in the stainless steel bowl.
2. Height Adjustment
The feeder and water dispenser offer adjustable height levels to accommodate pets of various sizes. The base allows for two height levels. For a third, lower height, the stainless steel bowls can be used separately without the main base unit.
- With Base: The base provides elevated feeding positions (approximately 4" and 9" from the ground, depending on configuration) to reduce strain on your pet's neck and spine.
- Without Base: For very small pets or a lower feeding option, the stainless steel bowls can be removed from the base and used directly on the floor (approximately 2" from the ground).

3. Anti-slip Strip Installation
To enhance stability and prevent the units from sliding during use, attach the provided anti-slip strips to the bottom of each base unit. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the strips.

Operating Instructions
1. Filling the Food Dispenser
Remove the lid from the food container. Pour dry pet food into the container. The gravity-fed design will automatically replenish the food in the stainless steel bowl as your pet consumes it. The 4L capacity can hold approximately 6 pounds or 17 cups of dry food, sufficient for small pets for up to 7 days and large pets for up to 3 days.

2. Filling the Water Dispenser
Remove the water bucket from the base. Unscrew the cap, fill the bucket with clean water, and securely reattach the cap. Invert the filled water bucket and place it firmly onto the base, ensuring the cap is properly seated in the stainless steel bowl. The siphon mechanism will automatically release water into the bowl and stop when the bowl is full, preventing overflows. The 4L capacity is approximately 1 gallon.

- Separate all components for individual cleaning.
2. Dishwasher Safety
All parts of the Rywell 4L Gravity Pet Feeder and Water Dispenser Set are dishwasher safe. For best results, place components on the top rack of your dishwasher. Alternatively, hand wash with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.

Troubleshooting
- Water Leakage: If the water dispenser leaks, ensure the water bucket cap is securely tightened and properly seated in the base. Verify that the stainless steel bowl is correctly positioned and free from any damage or perforations. Check the rubber seal on the cap for proper placement and integrity.
- Food Clogging: If food is not dispensing smoothly, ensure the kibble size is appropriate for the dispenser's outlet. Gently shake the food container to dislodge any stuck kibble.
- Overeating by Pet: This gravity feeder provides a continuous supply of food. It is not recommended for pets that tend to overeat, as this can lead to obesity and related health issues. For pets prone to overeating or eating too quickly, a timed feeder or controlled portion feeding may be more suitable.
- Unstable Unit: Ensure the anti-slip strips are properly installed on the bottom of the base units. Place the units on a flat, level surface.
