Using the Feeding Bowls:

• To access the feeding bowls, gently pull the bottom drawer outwards.
• Fill the stainless steel bowls with your pet's food and water.
• After your pet has finished eating, push the drawer back into the cabinet to conceal the bowls and maintain a tidy space.

Utilizing Storage Space:

• Open the cabinet doors to access the internal storage compartments.

• Cleaning Bowls: The stainless steel bowls are dishwasher safe for easy and hygienic cleaning. Alternatively, wash them by hand with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
• Cleaning Cabinet: Wipe the engineered wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
• Spill Management: In case of spills, especially water, wipe them up immediately to prevent damage to the wood material.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
