Maintenance Features:

- Cleaning: While the food tray is washable, the main unit, cord, and USB plug should not be immersed in water or other liquids to protect against electric shock.
- Food Hopper: Only dry pet food should be placed in the food hopper to prevent malfunctions.
- Cord Management: The power cord should be shielded or organized well to prevent pets from biting it, which could cause serious harm or death.
- Calibration: After each refill of the hopper, it is recommended to calibrate the feeder manually by clicking the Instant Feeding Button until food is dispensed, as pet food shape and density can cause deviations in capacity and portion quantity.
