2. Using the Mobile Application
The mobile app allows you to create a personalized feeding plan. You can schedule up to 10 individual meals per day, with a maximum of 12 portions per meal.

4. Manual Feeding
In addition to scheduled feedings, you can manually dispense food by pressing the designated button on the feeder's control panel or through the mobile app. This is useful for providing extra portions or immediate feeding.
5. Dual-Locking Mechanism
The feeder is equipped with a dual-locking mechanism, including a one-touch lock button, to prevent accidental activation or pets from accessing the food container directly. This ensures food security and prevents overeating.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning Instructions
To ensure hygiene and proper functioning, regularly clean the feeder. The food storage container and food bowl are detachable and can be washed with mild soap and water. Important: Do not immerse the base unit in water. Wipe the base unit with a damp cloth only. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling.

2. Desiccant Replacement
The feeder includes a desiccant to absorb moisture and keep the food fresh and crispy. Replace the desiccant periodically (e.g., every 1-2 months) to maintain its effectiveness. The desiccant is typically located in a compartment within the lid.
Troubleshooting
- Feeder not dispensing or jammed: First, check if there is too much food in the bowl or if the food outlet is blocked. Clean the spout and channels if necessary. Ensure only dry food is used, as semi-wet or wet food can cause blockages.
- Connectivity issues: Ensure the feeder is within range of your 2.4G Wi-Fi router. Restart the feeder and your router. Re-attempt the Wi-Fi connection process through the app.
- Power interruption: If the feeder stops working due to a power outage, ensure D-size batteries are installed for backup. The feeder will automatically switch to battery power.
- Food not fresh: Ensure the food container lid is tightly sealed and the desiccant is active. Replace the desiccant if it has reached its saturation point.
