Setup
- Assemble the Feeding Tray: Attach the food tray with the two stainless steel bowls to the notch underneath the feeder base. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Install the Meal Splitter: Align the meal splitter with the round hole inside the feeder's dispensing area and insert it. This allows for even or uneven food distribution between the two bowls.
- Power Connection: Connect the feeder to a power outlet using the provided adapter. The feeder also supports battery backup (batteries not included) to ensure continuous operation during power outages.
- Fill the Food Reservoir: Open the secure twist-lock lid on top of the feeder. Pour dry kibble into the reservoir. The feeder is designed to hold a significant amount of food, and the freshness preservation features (patent rotor, twist-lock lid, desiccant bag, sealing strip) help keep food fresh.
- Initial Programming: Refer to the feeder's LED display and control buttons to set the current time.
Operating Instructions
- Scheduling Meals: Use the control panel or the companion mobile app to schedule up to six meals daily. You can set specific times for each meal.
- Portion Control: For each scheduled meal, set the desired portion size, up to 50 portions per meal. The adjustable meal splitter allows you to customize the amount dispensed into each bowl. To divide food evenly, move the splitter fully to the right. For uneven distribution, move it to the left, which will dispense more food into the right bowl.
- Manual Feeding: A manual feeding button is available for dispensing a snack (up to 5 portions) outside of the scheduled meal times.
- Personalized Meal Call: Record a 10-second voice message that will play (up to five times) at meal times to alert your pets. This feature can be customized to play 0-5 times.
- Smart Infrared Detection: The built-in infrared detection system automatically suspends feeding if an obstruction is detected, ensuring the feeder operates correctly and your pets are safe.
Maintenance
- Cleaning Bowls: The stainless steel bowls are easily removable from the food tray. Wash them under running water with mild soap. They are also dishwasher-safe.
- Cleaning Food Tray and Splitter: The food tray and meal splitter can also be removed and washed by hand with mild soap and water.
- Cleaning Feeder Unit: Wipe the main feeder unit with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the electronic components in water.
- Desiccant Bag Replacement: Regularly check and replace the desiccant bag located under the twist-lock lid to maintain food freshness.
Troubleshooting
- Feeder Not Dispensing:
- Check power connection or battery backup.
- Ensure the food reservoir is not empty.
- Verify that the feeding schedule is correctly set.
- Check for obstructions in the dispensing path; the infrared sensor may have paused feeding.
- Wi-Fi Disconnection:
- Ensure the feeder is within range of your Wi-Fi router.
- Restart your Wi-Fi router and the feeder.
- If you have many devices on your network, consider optimizing your network settings or reducing the number of connected devices to improve stability.
- Uneven Food Distribution:
- Adjust the meal splitter position. Move it fully to the right for even distribution, or to the left for more food in the right bowl.
