Feeder installation
Feeder Preperation:
1. Remove the Feeder from the box and inspect thoroughly for any signs of damage, even if
the box does not show damage. If you notice any damage (cracked covers, damaged timer,
broken lid, etc...) please stop and contact your dealer immediately.
2. Open battery cover and install two AA (1.5V) batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries. If
the symbol LO appears on the display, the batteries being installed need to be replaced.
3. Adjust feed dispensing door to the maximum setting. Slide hopper off of feeder and fill with
flake, pelleted or powdered fish food. Slide hopper back onto feeder and close dispensing
door.
4. If refilling hopper, be sure hopper is cleaned before refilling with new food. This will help
prevent food spoilage.
Adjusting feed amount
1. By adjusting the feed dispensing door, the amount of food dispensed at each feeding can
be set. Simply adjust dispensing door to desired setting and press the MANUAL button
to measure how much feed will be dispensed in one feeding. Adjust dispensing door as
desired.
NOTE: As a general rule, aquarium fish only need to be fed 1-3 times daily. Feed only the
amount of food the fish will consume in 5-10 seconds. Over feeding can cause cloudiness,
ammonia problems and can create a deadly imbalance in an aquarium tank.
The aquachef is designed to be installed two ways:
Always ensure that the feed dispensing door will dispense food directly into the
aquarium
1. Using mounting bracket included, screw the bracket frame to the lip of the aquarium. Place
the base of the feeder onto the bracket frame. Adjust the feeder by sliding on the bracket to
ensure that fish food is dispensed directly into the aquarium.
2. If bracket cannot be mounted onto aquarium, used the double-sided tape to mount base of
feeder to the lid. Ensure food is dispensed direcly into the aquarium.
3. Test feeder by pressing the "M" button on the feeder and ensure that the feed drops into the
water and not on the ground or tank.
