4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Filling the Food Bucket
Open the food bucket lid and pour dry pet kibble into the reservoir. The 4L capacity can hold approximately 16 cups of dry food. Ensure the kibble size is between 0.07 to 0.4 inches (3-13mm) for optimal dispensing and to prevent clogging.
Close the lid firmly after filling to maintain food freshness, aided by the desiccant bag.
4.2 Programming Feeding Schedule
The control panel allows you to customize your pet's feeding schedule. While initial setup of the timer may require careful attention, once set, the feeder operates reliably.
Figure 4.1: Customized feeding schedule capabilities.
- Set Current Time: Refer to the control panel instructions to set the current time accurately. This is crucial for precise meal delivery.
- Program Meal Times: You can set up to 6 meals per day. Use the control panel buttons to select the desired time for each meal.
- Adjust Portion Sizes: For each meal, you can set 1 to 15 portions. One portion is approximately 6g (1 tbsp). Adjust based on your pet's dietary needs and veterinarian recommendations.
- Save Settings: Ensure all settings are saved according to the control panel's instructions.
The feeder's anti-clogging design, featuring a double rotor and a 40-degree sloped food passage, ensures smooth and consistent food dispensing, minimizing blockages.
