Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your pet fountain for first use:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.

- Install Flower Spout (Optional): If desired, insert the flower spout into the opening on the ceramic top lid for a bubbling water flow. For a gentle fountain flow, the flower spout can be omitted.

5. Operating Instructions
Once assembled and plugged in, the WOPET W03 Lite Ceramic Cat Water Fountain will begin operating automatically, circulating and filtering water for your pet.
5.1 Water Flow Options
The fountain offers two distinct water flow designs:
- Flower Waterfall: Achieved by installing the flower spout. This provides a bubbling, multi-stream flow that many pets find appealing.
- Gentle Fountain: Achieved by removing the flower spout. Water gently bubbles up from the center, creating a calm surface flow.

5.2 Water Level Monitoring
Regularly check the water level to ensure the pump is always submerged. The 3L capacity can provide hydration for up to 5 days, but this may vary based on pet size, number of pets, and environmental factors. Refill as needed to prevent the pump from running dry, which can shorten its lifespan.
5.3 Ultra-Quiet Operation
The W03 Lite features an ultra-quiet pump designed to operate at approximately 30dB, minimizing noise disturbance for both pets and owners.
