Using the Home Garden

10.USING THE HOME GARDEN
At first switch-on, the circuit board automatically presets for the use of program
flashes to indicate that the time must be set on the control circuit board. For instructions on this
procedure, see point "9.6 Clock display/setting key".
WARNING: THE HOME GARDEN CAN ONLY BE OPERATED WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL.
THE CONTROL PANEL ON THE FRONT OF THE APPLIANCE IS PURELY AESTHETIC AND DOES
NOT OPERATE THE HOME GARDEN.

10.1 Removing and placing the pots in the Home Garden

To remove the pots from the appliance, proceed as follows:
Lift the appliance's two side panels by their handles. The panels are mounted on sliding supports and
should be lifted gently to their maximum extension by simply pulling upwards. At this point, with both side
panels raised, the two sliding trays on which the pots are located can be pulled out. Take care not to exert
excessive force: the end stop which prevents them from falling may be damaged by this. Once the two
sliding trays are fully extended, the pots are available for use.
To refit them inside the Home Garden, simply repeat the same operations in reverse order.
WARNING: DIFFERENT POTS FROM THOSE SUPPLIED WITH THE HOME GARDEN MAY NOT BE
SUITABLE FOR GROWING YOUR PLANTS IN THE APPLIANCE
WARNING: THE HOME GARDEN IS CONSTRUCTED LARGELY OF GLASS. PROCEED GENTLY
AND WITH CARE WHEN HANDLING.

10.2 Automatic regulation of the internal micro-climate

The Home Garden is equipped with three sensors (humidity, light and temperature) which allow its
circuitry to control its environmental variables in accordance with the selected program.
There are three programs for the various types of plant you may wish to grow in the appliance.
The following table explains the types of plants which each program is intended to work with.
PROGRAM
1 Green

cuttings and orchids.
2 Succulents. (eg. Cacti)
3 Flowering plants

IF, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU DECIDE TO REPLACE YOUR SUCCULENTS WITH GREEN PLANTS, YOU
MUST CHANGE FROM PROGRAM 2 TO PROGRAM 1 AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
