5. Maintenance

Cleaning: Regularly clean the food container and the food outlet to prevent blockages and ensure hygienic feeding. Use a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the main feeder unit in water.
Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the feeder's performance declines or the display indicates low power.
Food Storage: Ensure fish food is dry before loading into the feeder to prevent clumping, especially with flake food. For flakes, it is recommended to cut them smaller for even distribution.

6. Troubleshooting

Feeder not dispensing food.	Low or dead batteries. Food outlet blocked. Food clumped together.	Replace batteries. Clean the food outlet. Ensure food is dry and not clumped. Break up clumps or use smaller food types.
Incorrect amount of food dispensed.	Food outlet adjustment incorrect. Food type unsuitable for current setting.	Adjust the gear switch to control the food outlet size. Consider using a different food type or breaking down larger flakes.
