6Replace Water & Seed Pods in AeroGarden

If you have cleaned the Pump from a planted AeroGarden, it’s now the time to reassemble your planted AeroGarden.

ATurn the Grow Surface right side up on a towel or in your sink and replace Seed Pods by gently guiding roots into the Grow Surface Openings. (Use Seed Pod placement reference from page 2.)

BPour water from the containers (see page 2) back into Bowl and, if needed, add fresh water up to “Fill to Here” inside the Bowl.

CPlace Grow Surface in Bowl and place

Bowl on Base.

D Plug in AeroGarden and make sure the Control Panel is set to the right plant type (Tomatoes/Peppers, Salad Greens, etc.), and that the Pump is working.

Congratulations! Enjoy your quiet Garden! If your Pump is still noisy, please contact Customer Service.

Troubleshooting

Cross Beams

Sometimes plant roots get tangled around the Cross Beams and pull them out of the Bowl. Place Cross Beams back into Brackets inside Bowl. The Brackets are on the inner front and back walls of the Bowl.

Missing or Torn Filters

Brackets

Cross Beams

If you have planted more than three Seed Kits in your AeroGarden, you may notice the Filter has started to degrade. Or, you may have misplaced the Filter while cleaning or replanting.

A temporary Filter can be made from a green scrubbing pad, like the ones used to scour pots and pans. Be sure the pad is soap-free. Cut a 1-1/2” x 1-5/8” rectangle to use as your temporary Filter. New Pump Filters can be ordered at www.aerogardendirect.com or by calling AeroGrow Customer Service at 1-800-476-9669.

Pump Does Not Start

If the Pump does not start, try each of the following:

• Make sure your AeroGarden is plugged
	Lamp Arm
into a working wall socket.
• Press down firmly on the Bowl, to make
sure it is securely seated on the Base.
• With AeroGarden unplugged, remove
Bowl and check the metal Contact Strips
on Lamp Arm and on back of the Bowl.
If they are corroded, clean them with an	Contact Strips
old toothbrush and white vinegar.

•The Pump is designed to cycle on and off. It may not start because your AeroGarden is in a “Pump-Off” cycle. To set AeroGarden to “Pump-On” cycle, press the “Select” button on the Control Panel until you reach

“Salad Greens.” (If you have an AeroGarden PRO or AeroGarden Deluxe, set it to the 24-Hour Light Cycle.) Be sure to return the Control Panel to the correct plant setting after confirming your Pump has come on.
