Setup, Compatibility & Care
Placement: Choose a flat, stable surface. Because the base is not included, ensure the ground is level to prevent the pedestal from leaning.
Assembly: Align the locating pin on the pedestal with the corresponding hole on the underside of the bowl. Gently lower the bowl until it sits flush against the pedestal.
Compatibility: This item is designed as a standalone feature. While it is heavy, you may consider adding a small amount of exterior-grade adhesive if placing it in high-traffic areas where it might be bumped.
Care: Clean the bowl using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid abrasive chemicals that might compromise the waterproof lining. During severe frost, ensure the bowl is clear of standing water to prevent ice-expansion damage, despite the frost-proof rating.
