section 4: determining proper meal size

The NANO Automated Pet Feeder uses a dual-beam weigh mechanism and digital microprocessor to provide PRECISION PORTION CONTROL by dispensing food

based on weight. Other automated feeders dispense food based on volume, which can potentially under or overfeed the pet due to the variation and inconsistency

between kibble sizes.

Because many users may be more familiar with determining a portion based on Cups, see below for an Estimated Conversion Guide.

This guide was created using the average measurements of 10 of the top selling cat and dog foods.

If a more precise conversion is necessary, use the following steps to calculate the exact conversion from Ounces or Grams to Cups

for your preferred pet food.

Use MANUAL FEED to Calculate Meal Size:

1) Press the MANUAL FEED button until an appropriate meal size is dispensed. Make reference to the amount in Ounces or Grams dispensed on the LCD Display.

Note: Ounces or Grams dispensed will appear on the display for 10 seconds.

2) Validate the amount dispensed against a measuring cup. If this dispensed too much or too little, repeat this process as needed until the proper

MEAL SIZE is confirmed.

3) Note the conversion from Cups to Ounces or Grams of your preferred food. This will be your desired MEAL SIZE for this specific pet food. If you change pet foods,

it will be necessary to reverify.
