Maintenance and cleaning
Remplacing watering wicks :
• It is best to replace the watering wicks every 6 months, especially if
roots have passed through.
• To remove the wicks, push them from the inside of the basket (fi g. 13).
Cleaning
We advise you to clean your indoor garden while changing Lingots® (approximately every 6 months).
• Disconnect power before cleaning.
• Never immerse the indoor garden, the power cord in water or other liquid, or place under running water.
• Only use a soft cloth or a soft sponge and some hot water added with washing liquid. Rinse with water
and towel dry before reassembling.
• Baskets are dishwasher-safe, but must be rinsed off the compost prior washing.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents (use only mild soap).
To remove the lighting pole
Press on the unlocking button at the bottom of the pole (fi g. 14) then, raise it up (fi g. 15).
Storage
When the indoor garden is not in use, pull out the main plug and clean it.
• Use original packaging for storage. Always store Lingots® in a cool, dry place in their original box.
• The best way is in an airtight container at 39- 43°F/ 4-6°C (e.g., your refrigerator’s crisper drawer). We
recommend you use your Lingots® within the year of their purchase. Germination rate may decrease
after one year.
