Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided important safety messages in this manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others. Please read these messages carefully. Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the hazards associated with operating or maintaining a grow box. You must always use your own good judgment. It is advisable to take special care when using Linfa to avoid damage to the appliance or people. Some basic precautions must be observed, so it is important to READ AND FOLLOW ALL THE SUGGESTIONS AND WARNINGS CAREFULLY on the use and maintenance of Linfa. Use this appliance only for the uses for which it is intended, as described in this manual. The warnings and important safety instructions in this manual do not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. This appliance is not a toy. It is the user’s responsibility to use the device with common sense, paying the utmost attention and care during installation, maintenance, and operation. Use this hydroponic grow box only for the cultivation and care of plants. This appliance is intended for indoor use only. Do not insert electrical or inflammable material into the grow box, as this may cause burns or a fire. The manufacturer and the distributors can not be held responsible for damage caused by improper or incorrect use of the appliance. If the grow box is not kept clean, the surface may deteriorate, damaging the appliance and potentially causing dangerous situations. Improper use of the grow box also leads to the cancellation of any form of warranty. When using this appliance basic precautions should always be followed; read all instructions before using Linfa. The pumps, the fans, the lights are parts of Linfa that work with electric current. They are absolutely safe when used properly, but it is good to remember that, when water and electricity are together, prudence is always appropriate. It is therefore important to follow the warnings below. Protect the device from direct sunlight, splashes of water and other moisture.

PACKAGING

GROW BOX
Linfa grow boxes are designed to grow a variety of herbs and plants. Other uses could result in injury to the operator or damage to the grow box and other property. Injuries and property damage from grow boxes can be prevented by following all instructions in this manual. The most common hazards are discussed below, along with the best way to protect yourself and others. Avoid the risk of lethal electric shock and fire Linfa has a specific plug. Do not change the plugin any way. Disconnect Linfa from the power outlet before installing or removing parts. Never operate Linfa if it has a damaged power cable or plug, if it is not operating properly if it has been dropped, if it has been submerged in water, or if it has been damaged in some other way. If any of these eventualities occur, contact the customer support. Keep the power cable away from hot surfaces. Do not use Linfa if you suspect that water is being drawn into the pump/electronics compartment (rear panel of the machine) from the cultivation area. At the slightest suspicion that there is a loss of current in the water or when the circuit breaker trips, disconnect immediately the power plug and contact the manufacturer for assistance. Inspect the casing and the cable to check for any damage. The power cord of this appliance cannot be repaired or replaced: in the event of damage to the cable, contact the service center. Never cut the power cord. In case of repeated tripping of the electric differential, contact the customer support for instructions. It is advisable to arrange the cable so that part of it is lower than the power outlet to prevent drops of water coming down the cable and potentially penetrating the outlet. Do not lay or immerse the base, power cord, plug or lights in water or any other liquid to clean them. Do not allow water to come in contact with the lights. The electrical system must comply with local and national regulations. Grounding system must comply with local and national regulations. Clean the pins of the plug regularly with a dry cloth, removing any dust, water, or other foreign substances. Do not pull or bend the power cord excessively or place heavy objects on top of it. Do not place the cord close to sharp edges, do not fix it or let it hang. It is preferable not to use extension cables. If an extension cable is required, make sure that the cable is at least equivalent (as per insulation, cross-section and number of conductors) to that of the appliance: contact a qualified installer to make the connection. Do not touch the electric plug with wet hands. Verify that the voltage, frequency, and current match the device specifications. Do not hook the electric cable to metal objects to avoid damaging the cable itself. The grow box must be positioned so that the outlet is accessible. If the appliance generates abnormal noise, a burning smell or smoke, immediately disconnect the plug and contact the nearest service center. Once the installation has been completed, the power outlet must be accessible to easily disconnect the appliance. Use caution when connecting other electrical equipment to outlets near the grow box. Do not tamper with the safety circuits and do not insert any objects into the holes in the safety circuits. During long periods of non- use, disconnect the appliance from the power outlet. To avoid causing damage to the cable, disconnect the appliance by pulling the plug and not the cable.
