HOW TO RAISE AND LOWER THE LIGHT HOOD
To raise the Light Hood, push open the lever on the 'buckle' attached to the
Light Post to allow the post to slide up and down. Pull up on the Light Post
until you reach the desired position, then push the buckle shut to lock Light
Post into place.
When planting a new Seed Pod Kit, the Light Hood should be set to the
lowest possible position. For instructions and tips about when to raise (or not
to raise) the Light Hood, refer to Gardening Tips (ahead) and/or Seed Pod Kit
Instruction booklet included with each seed kit.
PLACE YOUR GARDEN...
• On a sturdy, water-tolerant surface
• Near a standard electrical outlet, per local regulations
• In a 16-24°C environment (optimal)
• Away from reach of children or pets
• Away from direct sources of heat (e.g., stove, furnace vents) or cold (e.g., window drafts, A/C vents)
• AeroGardens do not need additional light or a sunny window. In fact, too much direct sunlight can
overheat your plants.
Note: Do not place beneath under-cabinet lights.
NEXT: PLANTING YOUR GARDEN
Record the planting date on a calendar or in a notebook.
Touch 'Quick Plant' to Start a New Garden
"Before planting, touch Quick Plant option on the control panel for step-by-step planting instructions.
Quick Plant is the fastest and easiest path to starting a new garden. Settings for grow lights, pump, and
nutrient cycles are pre-set in the Quick Plant option to provide optimal growth based on the plant type
you select. "
1. Add Water
• Add water to "Fill To Here" indicator located under the Water Port flap.
• Use room temperature tap water or bottled distilled water. Do not use well water which may interfere
with ou r nutrients, or softened water, as it contains levels of sodium usually harmful to plants.
• The 'Add Water' reminder alert will appear on the control panel when the water level is low. For best
results, keep the water level topped up to the fill line at all times. "
