Plant Growth Chamber

Installation
Use the proper lifting equipment when moving this unit. The shipping
weight of this unit is 340 lbs. (154 kg).
To ensure proper ventilation, allow 4" minimum clearance between the
rear, top, and sides of the growth chamber and adjacent walls. If two or
more growth chambers are positioned side by side, allow a minimum of 8"
between cabinets. Adjust the front leveling feet of the growth chamber so
that the front is higher than the rear. This will assist in door closing.
Choose a site free from rapidly changing ambient temperature conditions.
Caution
The growth chamber should not be operated in an environment
where the ambient temperature exceeds 90°F, as the compressor thermo-
overload will be tripped and will result in a wide band control cycle of
approximately ±4°C. Such cycling should not be misinterpreted as a
malfunction of the electronic controls.
s
Radiators, air-conditioning outlets, other ventilating system outlets, and
drafts can affect the operation of the growth chamber by a sudden inrush
of air that is at a temperature different than operating conditions.
Warning
For personal safety, this apparatus must be properly grounded.
s
Wall mount brackets are attached to the top rear of the cabinet. Remove
any packaging materials from the brackets. Rotate the brackets so they
point straight out from the back. Secure bracket in place with the included
hardware. Attach brackets to wall.
The power cord is the mains disconnect. Make sure the outlet and plug are
accessible at all times.
