Operating Instructions
The VKIMISS Wireless Cat Water Fountain offers three distinct operating modes to suit your pet's preferences and conserve battery life:

- Sensor Mode: The fountain dispenses water when your pet approaches within a 1.5-meter range, detected by the infrared sensor. This mode conserves battery and ensures fresh water on demand.
- Timed Mode: Water is dispensed at regular intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes) to encourage consistent hydration. This mode balances water freshness with battery efficiency.
- Continuous Mode (Keep Working Mode): The fountain provides a continuous flow of water. This mode requires the fountain to be connected to the power adapter for uninterrupted operation.
To switch between modes, press the control button located on the top of the battery spout unit. Refer to the indicator lights for the current mode selection.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and filter replacement are crucial for maintaining water quality and extending the life of your fountain.
Cleaning the Fountain:
- Disassemble: Unplug the power adapter (if connected) and carefully remove the battery spout unit, then the stainless steel drinking tray, and finally the water tank.
- Clean Components: Wash the water tank and stainless steel drinking tray with mild soap and water. The stainless steel tray can be sterilized at high temperatures for enhanced hygiene. Use the provided cleaning brushes to clean hard-to-reach areas and the pump. Do not immerse the battery spout unit or power adapter in water.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse all cleaned parts thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
- Reassemble: Reassemble the fountain once all parts are dry, following the setup instructions in reverse.

Filter Replacement:
The fountain utilizes a circulation layered filtration system with carbon and sponge filters to provide clean water. Filters should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal performance.
