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.
