Setting Up Your AeroGarden

Place Tray in AeroGarden

1	Remove Grow Surface from Bowl and set aside.
2	Lower Lamp Hood to lowest position.
3	Place Bowl on Base.
4	Add water up to “Fill to Here” inside Bowl.
5	Plug in AeroGarden.
6	Press “Select” button to set AeroGarden to
	“Tomatoes/Peppers” on 7-Pod models,
	and “Vegetables” on AeroGarden 6 and
	Space•Saver 6 models.
7	Press and HOLD “Reset” button for 6 seconds

(Space•Saver 6 models), and 9 seconds (AeroGarden 6 and all 7-Pod models).

When “Add Nutrient” light begins to blink, release “Reset” button. Nutrient timer is reset.

NOTE: In some cases, you may see other lights blink as well. This is nothing to worry about.

8 To place planted Tray into AeroGarden:

•Carefully lift Tray from work surface. Keep Tray steady to avoid spilling seeds from Grow Sponges.

•Gently lower Tray into Bowl so the large semi-circle cutout for “Fill to Here” mark is in front.

NOTE: To inhibit algae growth, cover any empty Grow Sponge Openings. (There is no need to cover unplanted Grow Sponges.) A bottlecap, a cut-out piece of plastic from a container lid or aluminum foil all work well.

•Use room-temperature water. Very hot or very cold water will hurt your plants.

!• We recommend using municipal tap, bottled or puriﬁed water. Well or softened water SHOULD NOT be used because the extra minerals in these sources may be harmful to aeroponically grown plants.
