I use flake food and it is set on max, but there is not enough food coming through the slot. Any suggestions? Can I make the slot bigger?

I put my flakes in a baggie and crush them a little. Should work for you also.
362052
my suggestion is to increase to feed four times per day and make the flake smaller therefore it can drop in more flake food.

I break the flakes and feed two time at they two portions and in other tank I feed little 4 time at day. Also I try to not add to much food (for 7-9 day) if I will be in home. I notice the food began compact because the humidity. Some time I remove the food and dry it in the over or add new food after clean and dry the food chamber. I have several feeder some of my feeder use rechargable batteries is an option if you need to feed several time at day.

I am using pellets and it is working fine. Sorry, have no suggestion for the flakes type food.
362055
if you break-up the flakes some it helps. You can also feed twice - 4 times a day but will probably run down battery pretty quick. I use both flakes and pellets combined in mine so they will at least get fed something since I am home only one per week to every other week.

Marty, What I did was break the flake food into smaller pieces before I loaded it into the feeder and it seemed dispense alot better. I set the feeder up on a table and clamped it to a piece of wood. I put a dish under it to catch the food and used the instant feed button over and over to see how much food was being delivered. Each time it rotated the amount of food varied somewhat, so I took an average and chose a setting that I liked the best. I have 2 of these feeders and have been using them for just over 2 months now, and I'm very happy with them. I have been gone on 3 occasions for up to 10 days and on each of my returns, all of my fish were alive and doing well. Hope this helps.

What I would suggest is try crush the flake a little smaller so that it does not get caught up in the chamber. I feed my fish pellets so I do not encounter that problem.

You could get close to that number but the number of pellets will vary. What I do is change the slot space and hit the feed buttton over a paper on the table and keep repeating the process till I get the desired amount.

Press your fingernail straight into the slots that have arrows on the side. That should work

Btw, same thing happened to me. It means that your filling it too full and this isn't designed to do that much work. Plastic parts ya know.

I only have put 2 cards in each slot. You might can get more but I would be concerned about the cards sticking if they are too tight.

The picture diagram on the interface is pretty self explanatory; just press the corresponding button for the unit you want to use until you reach the preset column you want. Once there you can adjust the preset time by using the arrows. You don't have to use all the units, as they work independent of one another. You can use the trays for grains, sauces, etc and the elevated tray with holes for meats. So, for instance, you can make a meal by using the larger bowl and compartment for rice, fill one of the smaller compartments with vegetables, and the other small compartment with a marinated meat or eggs. Or use the elevated tray for fish, one of the smaller compartments for sauce, and the other small one with quinoa. Experiment!

Mine took so long that I gave up on it. I should check again. I would recommend not overloading the system with meat.

While you can place an item to be toasted in only one slot, both slots heat up. There is no option to only have one slot active.

Yes, I had that same issue except it started with the 1st chicken I made. When I went to make my 2nd chicken, I couldn't even get it to stay in the slots for more than a rotation or two. I sent mine back for a full refund. If you read the reviews, you will find many who had the same issue.

Can't help much, Catherine. I bought the rotisserie based on the 40# capacity mentioned in the ad. I have done 25# birds in both the kettle and gas Weber grills with pretty good results. Only the wingtips were fried crispy. Really didn't care about the wingtips. I bought this rotisserie in the hope that I could do a 20-25# stuffed bird for Thanksgiving. I would imagine that care will have to be exercised in balancing the load so as not to ask the motor to do too much, but can't see why this rotisserie would be overly taxed to do a piece that is only 66% of the advertised load.

I use this feeder for fry. I crush up flakes very fine and adjust it accordingly. It does a great job. I have two of them.

Check feeder for food clogging. You can also email the company, they are very helpful.

We bought a large size and put 1 cup of large kernels in it. It fills up the bottom but we probably could have gotten by with a medium size. We bought it to slow our pups' eating down and it does so, at least some. If the food wasn't as spread out, it might not slow the eating down as much.

Yes, I use flake food. The flakes I buy are pretty large so I shake the flake food vigorously in it's bottle before I put it in the feeder. This breaks it down into smaller flakes so it can pass through the opening. I keep the opening very small (3rd click back from the closed position).

It sounds like your kibble is too big. There are 4 little rubbery prongs inside each half at the dispensing hole. You can trim them so that the larger kibble comes out more easily.

It will not hold 2:cards in each slot, it starts to mark up your screen, I could only put 4 bills in there because you have to food the tip before theyre able to fit.

Is this the first feeder you have had in that area?Maybe move it to another place. Make sure your seed is fresh. You can try mixing fine sunflower chips with the thistleBe patient
