Care and Cleaning
When the food tank starts getting dirty and there is a lot of loose food at the
bottom of the food tank, you can remove the food cover and food tank for
cleaning.
Use a soft damp cloth to clean the feeder base which contains the control panel
and batteries. Never get this part wet and do NOT wash with running water.
You can wash the Food Cover and Food Tank in warm soapy water. DO NOT
put these parts in the dishwasher, as they will be permanently damaged!
Assembly and Disassembly of the Food Tank
Disassembly
You need to open the spring loaded locks. Use both hands
and your thumbs to push both locks down to release the
food tank. As you push the locks down, use your fingers to
lift the food tank up.
The springs are very strong, to be careful to not let the locks
snap back and hurt your fingers.
Assembly
Line up the food tank with the feeder base, then press the
locks out with your thumbs so that the food tank can seat
onto the feeder base. The locks are spring loaded so be
careful not to pinch your fingers. Make sure the locks
securely lock into the food tank.
