TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: Treats are not dispensing when dispenser cycles.
Solution: Make sure the funnel, chute, and spout are not clogged.

Problem: Portion size is erratic.
Solution: Reset controls by switching to a different serving size. Make sure your hands are completely cupped. Gaps between fingers may result in intermittent sensor connection problems. Sensors may be dirty. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Treat size/shape may be irregular.

Problem: Loud clicking noise during activation.
Solution: Clicking noise indicates that treats are jammed in the chute. Gently tilt, tap, and shake the device. Repeat. If this does not resolve the problem, disassemble/reassemble to clear the blockage.

Problem: Dispenser will not activate.
Solution: Check to make sure that the power switch is set to the ON position. Cup hand(s) completely. Reset by selecting a different serving size. Replace batteries. Wipe sensor with a damp cloth.

Problem: Random activation and treat dispensing.
Solution: Sensors in spout and base are dirty. Turn off and wipe clean with a damp cloth.

FOR BEST RESULTS

Store in a cool location. High heat and/or humidity may cause treats to stick together, jamming the chute. Avoid storage/operation in direct sunlight. Avoid treats that have a sticky coating. Store treats in a sealed container between uses. Treat reservoir in not air tight. Treats may become stale due to prolonged exposure to air while in the treat reservoir. When using power fill mode, place a large bowl under spout. Switch to the OFF position to avoid spilling.
