6.2 Adjusting Precise Customised Feeding Amount

To dispense food immediately, press the 'Manual' button on the feeder. This is useful for additional feeding or observing your fish's feeding habits.

6.4 Airflow Moisture-Proof Function

The feeder features an air hole designed to prevent food moisture and caking. You can connect an air tube from an air pump (not included) to this air hole. The constant airflow will help keep the food dry and fresh. The hidden feeding port also prevents water droplets and dust from entering the food chamber.
