Instruction

  • Assembly Required?: No
  • Use Instructions: Do not run dry - for indoor use only. Fountain will come fully assembled and ready for use. 1. As with any electrical device, check the electrical power cord for any tears or damage before use.2. Make sure the In-Line Plug is connected. When connected properly the silver tip is not showing.3. Remove the Housing by pressing the side tabs and lifting up. Inspect the inside of the fountain to ensure Pump is securely attached. Snap Housing back into place.4. Remove the Housing Lid and set aside. 5. Insert the Charcoal Filter. The Charcoal Filter fits diagonally into the two triangular slots located inside the Housing. The Charcoal Filter fits narrow side down, with the black side facing the front of the fountain towards the spout. The Charcoal Filter will slide easily into place, but make sure it is pushed all the way down. Important: Rinse the Charcoal Filter thoroughly under cool water before placing in the fountain. This will remove any loose charcoal dust, which is harmless. A small amount of charcoal dust may be released for the life of the Charcoal Filter. This is normal and is not harmful to your pet.6. Fill the Bowl with water. Replace the Housing Lid. 7. Place fountain in desired location. Do not pick up a full fountain by the Housing. Only pick up the fountain by placing both hands underneath the base of the fountain and grip the sidewalls for a sturdy hold. Important: To protect your floor always use a protective mat such as a towel or water-resistant placement. This will help protect your floor from any splashing or spills caused by your pet.8. Before you plug in the fountain, make sure the electrical power cord and your hands are dry. Plug the fountain into a standard electrical wall outlet.9. Set your desired flow rate with the Flow Control Knob, which is located to the right of the receiving ramp inside the Bowl. When the Flow Control Knob is in the 10 o’clock position, flow is at its lowest. When the Flow Control Knob is in the 2 o’clock position, flow is at its highest. 10. Add water to the Bowl as needed. Do not let the water level fall below the Flow Control Knob or you may risk Pump failure. Replacement Pumps are sold separately by calling the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677
