Clean Pump (continued)
Insert the Pump back into the Pump Tower making sure that:
• The Rubber Feet on the Pump are facing up.
• The Face Plate is facing toward you.
• The Pump Wire goes behind and underneath the Pump.
• Pump is securely seated in the tube in the Pump Tower.
• Pump Wire does not need to go into Wire Slot at this time.
• Do not put Cover Plate or Filter back in place at this time.
Run Dish Soap Through Pump
• Turn Grow Surface right side up and place it in AeroGarden Bowl
without water. (Yes, without water… just for this step!)
NOTE: If Pump falls out, it was improperly seated in the Pump Tower. Please
see Step 4D for instructions on proper placement of Pump in Pump Tower.
• Place Bowl back on Base and plug in AeroGarden. Your Pump
will start at this time (listen for a humming sound or put hand on
Grow Surface to feel vibration. If your Pump Does Not Start, see
Troubleshooting on page 7.)
• Allow Pump to run for 3 minutes and then unplug AeroGarden.
E
Rinse Dish Soap from Pump & AeroGarden
• Remove Bowl from Base.
• Remove Grow Surface from Bowl and turn Grow Surface upside down.
• Disassemble Pump Parts (see steps 1-3 on page 4).
• Thoroughly rinse all Pump Parts, Pump, Pump Tower and Bowl in sink with hot water until no soap
residue remains. Any remaining soap could harm your plants.

When you are nished cleaning the Pump, set the Face Plate Dial
to “2”. (If your Face Plate does not have numbers, set the Dial to
the 2 o’clock position, as shown on the black Face Plate at right.)
