AUTOMATIC FEEDING
The Fish Feeder Basic can dispense feed automatically up to a maximum of 8 times a
day. The intervals between the feedings must be at least 60 minutes. No feed will be
dispensed if the automatic feeding is turned off. Manual feeding is always possible,
whether or not the automatic feeding is turned on. The factory default applies after a
reset or if you do not enter any settings: 1 dose of automatic feeding 4 times a day.
Number of feedings a day
You can set the number of feedings a day between 1 and 8. The feedings are spread
automatically between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. If you opt for 7 feedings, your fish will be fed
at 8 a.m., 10 a.m., 12 noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m., 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. If these are the feeding
times you want, select 'feeding times ok' . If you want to change the feeding times,
navigate to a particular feeding using the arrow keys and make your selection with
the middle key (set). Then you can change the hours using the arrow keys, and
confirm the settings with the middle key (set). After that, you can change the minutes
using the arrow keys, and confirm the settings with the middle key (set). You can
repeat these steps to change the other feeding times. In this way, you can also set
feeding times before 8 a.m. and after 8 p.m.
Amount per feeding
You can set the amount of feed per feeding at between 1 and 10 doses. You can test
the dose dispensed and select the number of doses per feed. An advanced and
particularly sophisticated feature is that the automatic feeding system does not
dispense the set amount of feed at once; it splits it up into 3 portions and releases
them at intervals of about 1 minute.
Extra manual feeding
Manual feeding is always possible, whether or not the automatic feeding is turned on
or off. You can set the amount of feed per feeding at between 1 and 10 doses.
AUTUMN AND WINTER
When temperatures drop in autumn, fish require less food due to their low energy
use. Limit the amount of feed during this period. When the water temperature is 8°C
or less, the feeding device can be removed from the pond. At these low tempera-
tures, it is enough to hand feed the fish once or twice a week with winter food.
MAINTENANCE
In order to guarantee proper feeding continuity, the Fish Feeder Basic should be cleaned
occasionally during the pond season. In any case, when you refill it. Make sure the feeder
is empty and remove the screw by turning it to the left. Use a brush to remove dust from
the screw and the housing. Before the Fish Feeder Basic is stored for the winter, make
sure you clean and dry the feed container, the screw housing and the screw and then put
the device away in a dry place until the following spring.
