2.2 Assembly Steps
- Rinse all components (stainless steel base, lid, pump, filter cartridge, and sponge) thoroughly with water before first use.

- Insert the filter cartridge into its designated slot on the underside of the lid.
- Fill the stainless steel base with water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.

- Plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Filling and Refilling
Fill the fountain with fresh water. The 3.2-liter capacity allows for week-long hydration for most pets. Monitor the water level through the clear window on the side of the fountain. Refill when the water level is low, ensuring it does not drop below the minimum line to protect the pump.
3.2 Powering On and Off
Once assembled and filled, plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet. The fountain will begin circulating water. To turn off, simply unplug the power adapter from the outlet.

For optimal performance and hygiene, clean the fountain at least once a week. The stainless steel components are dishwasher safe. Always unplug the fountain before cleaning.
- Unplug the fountain and disassemble all components.
- Wash the stainless steel base and lid with mild soap and water, or place them in the dishwasher.
- Clean the pump by removing the small filter sponge and rinsing the pump under running water. Use a small brush (not included) to clean any debris from the pump's impeller area.

4.2 Filter Replacement
The 5-layer filter cartridge should be replaced every 12 weeks, depending on water quality and pet usage. The small pump sponge should be replaced more frequently, typically every 2-4 weeks, or when visibly dirty.
