Dépannage

• Distributeur de nourriture ne distribuant pas de nourriture : Check if the food hopper is empty. Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged in or that batteries are correctly installed and charged. Verify that the food pellet size is within the recommended range (0.2-0.6 inches). Check for any food blockages in the dispenser mechanism.
• L'écran ne fonctionne pas : Ensure the feeder is powered on. Check power connections or replace batteries.
• Incorrect feeding times/portions: Re-program the feeding schedule following the operating instructions.
• Food jamming: Ensure only dry food is used and that the pellet size is appropriate. Clean the dispenser mechanism if necessary. The anti-clog design (Figure 5) helps prevent this, but regular checks are recommended.
