SAFETY INFORMATION
YOUR SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
GENERAL INFORMATION
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
The elements of the packaging must not be left within reach of children as
they are potential sources of danger. Disposal must be in accordance with
locally applicable regulations. Before disposal, cut the power cord so that
the appliance can not be reused. For more detailed information on the handling
and recycling of this product, contact the local authorities responsible for
the separate collection of waste or the point of sale where the appliance was
purchased.
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.
OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY
Know how to stop the grow box quickly in case of emergency. Understand the use
of all grow box controls. Never permit anyone to operate the grow box without
proper instruction. Do not let children operate the grow box. The grow box
must not be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities
or with inadequate experience and knowledge For your safety and the safety of
others, always inspect the area before operating the grow box.
SAFE OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the grow box for the first time, please review both the Grow
box SAFETY section and the BEFORE OPERATION section of this manual. Even if
you have operated other grow boxes, take time to become familiar with how the
Linfa works. Always use Linfa only for its intended use. Never tamper with or
alter any of the controls on the grow box. Never operate Linfa while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or prescription drugs, including over-the-counter
cold/flu medications and allergy medications. Do not use it in places where
liquids are sprayed or where oxygen is administered. Do not touch moving or
hot parts such as pumps, fans, lights, reflective parts, and the like.
Never insert objects into electronic slots. Do not insert fingers or foreign
objects into the ventilation slots or the machine in general. Do not store
flammable materials inside the grow box. Do not use abrasive products or metal
scrapers to clean the grow box door; they could abrade the surface and the
glass may break. Do not use the appliance if it is damaged or there are
operating problems. Remove the plug from the socket immediately. Contact
customer support if you think the equipment should be examined or fixed.
Do not insert your fingers into the compartment or air vents: risk of shock.
Do not insert your fingers into the area of the capsule perforators. If the
capsules are not present in the grow box, pay attention to the area of the
capsule perforators. Risk of injury! Do not use damaged or deformed capsules.
If a capsule is blocked in the capsule compartment, turn off the machine and
unplug it before attempting to fix it and contact customer support Do not
spray volatile substances on the surface of the appliance. The appliance and
its accessible parts may overheat during use. Be careful not to touch the
heating elements inside the grow box. In case of smoke, switch off or unplug
the appliance from the power outlet and keep the grow box door closed to avoid
spreading flames. In case of gas leak (such as natural gas, propane, LPG,
etc.), ventilate the room immediately without touching the electric plug.
Never open the electronic compartment. The warranty does not cover appliances
with the electronic compartment opened. Do not use the appliance with blocked
air vents. Keep the air ducts free of dust and impurities. Empty the water
tank if you don’t plan to use the appliance for a period of three days or
more. Change the water in the tank if Linfa has not been active for more than
two days. Do not run the pump dry. This pump must work with a minimum draft
level (make sure the water level is always sufficient). Do not use abrasive
detergents or solvents. Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to clean the
surface of the machine. Fill the water tank only when it is correctly
positioned in the machine.

the grow box and its operation before you begin using it. Know how to quickly
shut off the appliance in case of an emergency. For your safety and the safety
of others, always inspect the area before operating the grow box. IS YOUR GROW
