How to use

Fill the transparent hopper with compatible dry fish food and secure the lid. Program the desired feeding times using the unit’s control interface and set portion size according to the number and dietary needs of your fish. Attach the feeder to the aquarium rim or cover so that the food outlet is positioned above the water surface.

Usage recommendations

Use only dry pellets or flakes that flow freely; avoid oily or moist foods that may clump. Set conservative portion sizes initially and adjust based on fish response to prevent overfeeding. Perform routine cleaning of the hopper and outlet to prevent blockages and check batteries before extended absence.
