set the time for MEAL 1 to allow feeding up to 4 days. If you
require 2 meals in a day you will need to set the times of MEAL
1 and MEAL 2. You may set up to 4 meals per day.

4. Testing your C500 feeder
Your C500 feeder is manufactured from top quality materials
and is assembled to comply with rigorous quality standards.
Consequently, it should give you many years dependable use.
However, we recommend you ensure its correct operation with
your cat(s) while you are in attendance by completing set up as
follows:
4.1 Fill the required number of bowls, starting clockwise from
'1' (only fill bowl '0' if an immediate meal is required). Take
care not to overfill the food bowls in order that the rotating
lid is not fouled.
4.2 Insert two pre-frozen ice packs and replace food bowl
aligning '0' on food bowl (B1, Fig. 1) with '0' on base unit
(D1, Fig. 1). (If the '0' on the food bowl does not align with
the '0' on the base unit, press the ADJ/SET and UP arrow
buttons together for 3 seconds to achieve alignment.)
4.3 Finally, replace feeder lid ensuring the sprung clips on each
side click into position and place unit in required position.
The meal in the bowl numbered '1' will be served at the
next programmed meal time.
4.4 Always turn feeder off after use (see Section 9 below).
5. Especially for cats
When leaving your cat, do not forget to make adequate toilet
arrangements for it. Cats and particularly kittens, should
not be left alone for long periods without someone to check
periodically that all is well. We also recommend the use of a
CAT MATE fountain for supply of fresh water.
6. Especially for dogs
Most small dogs will readily adapt to an automatic feeder,
but you are recommended to supervise your dog's first few
encounters to ensure that it is unlikely to damage the unit -
which may be a problem with puppies.
When leaving your dog, do not forget to make adequate toilet
arrangements for it. Dogs, and particularly puppies, should
not be left alone for long periods without someone to check
periodically that all is well. We also recommend the use of a
DOG MATE fountain for supply of fresh water.
For extra stability the feeder may be attached to a wooden
baseplate as follows:
6.1 Remove the feeder lid and food bowl. Place feeder in
desired position on wooden board, locate the moulded-
in retaining clips (F, Fig. 1) and mark a screw hole using
a suitable screw down through the centre of each hole.
