CLEANING CAUTIONS
When you wipe down the reservoir, do not knock the pumps, misalign the pipes or the sensors.
Draining the reservoir sends water down and out from the drain hose. Water from the cabinet is not for drinking as biological resi-
dues may still be present and could be harmful.
Do not use steel wool pads to clean the reservoir as they will damage the steel and its rust-resistant nish.
Do not use detergents or solutions that contain chlorides, ammonias, alkalis or abrasive cleaners. Use only environmentally safe, non-
toxic solutions in the manufacturers’ recommended concentration. Non-chlorine bleach from an environmentally-friendly company
may be used in accordance with the guidelines on the packaging.
DAMAGE TO STAINESS STEEL IS PERMANENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR, AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
CLEANING THE GROWING DRAWERS Clean your grow drawers between each harvest. However, keep a close eye on the
environment and immediately clean any mold or organic matter.
Do not use any chemically damaging or toxic cleaning products such as bleach. Do not use stainless steel cleaner on the
interior of the cabinet. Using chemical cleaning products can be toxic and also damage the stainless steel drawers and
cabinet. You can use 30% hydrogen peroxide to clean the reservoir and water lines (5 teaspoons per gallon of water).
Read all warning labels on the hydrogen peroxide or other cleaning products.
Keep your growing environment clean.
Clean the reservoir, reservoir lter and grow drawers every month.
