IMPORTANT WARNING
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a quali-
fied electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blow-
ing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Use an exclusive 115V wall outlet. Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with
another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord. Do not under any circumstances cut
or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use and adapter plug with this appli-
ance.

Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Danby Fresh Grower will arrive fully assembled (will it?) and ready to use. Ensure that
you plug the power cord into a 3 prong grounded outlet.
The fan in the unit will run continuously to ensure that your plants have adequate fresh air. The fan
can only be turned off by unplugging the unit.
Two metal wire shelves are included with the unit that can be removed and adjusted to different levels
to accomodate different growing heights. Please use caution when removing a shelf as it may be un-
balanced, heavy or contain residual water. Do not remove shelving without first removing everything
on the shelf.
Timer function
The timer can be used to create a regular light and dark cycle for your lights just as they would re-
ceive outside. The timer will turn the light on and off as required based on the settings you choose.
Keep in mind that different plants will grow best under different light cycle conditions; some need
more light and some need less. We recommend checking the seed packet for informaiton on the best
light cycle to choose for your plants.
The circular face of the timer can be turned clockwise to set the current time. The current time is indi-
cated by aligning the arrow on the timer face with the corresponding hour of the day.
Based on the type of plants you are growing, decide at which hours you would like the light to be on
and off.Around the outside of the timer face are buttons which encompass 15 minutes of time each.
To set the time, press down each button during the time frame that you would like the light to remain
on.
Ensure that you plug the timer into a 3 prong grounded outlet and then plug the power cord of the
grower into the timer. Ensure that the switch on the top of the timer is set to “timer on”.
You can change the hours that the light is on or off at any time by pulling up or pushing down the but-
tons around the outside of the timer face.
Growing tips
There are two switches on the LED light system which will provide different types of light depending
on what stage of growth your plants are in.
The Growth setting is best used when your plants are seedlings or in the early phases of growth.
When your plants are big enough to flower and bloom, turn on both the Growth and Bloom buttons
to provide the full spectrum of light. The length of the growth and blooming growing cycles will vary
depending on what type of plants you are growing.
In general for most herbs and vegetables, we recommend the following light cycles:
Growth cycle: 18 hours on / 6 hours off or 20 hours on / 4 hours off for approximately 20 to 30 days.
Bloom cycle: 12 hours on / 12 hours off for approximately 20 - 30 days.
Typically most herbs and vegetables have a maturity date between 45 - 90 days. How long your
plants take to mature will vary based on what type of plants you are growing.
Note: Danby Products Ltd will accept no liability for any lost plants or weak harvests based on inap-
propriate use of the timer and light system.

Care and Maintenance
CLEANING
Cleaning the Inside:
• Walls, floor, inside window and shelves - Some water deposits and dust can be removed with a
dry paper towel, others may require a damp cloth.
Cleaning the Outside:
• Outer Case - It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the cabinet.
Clean this area with a soapy cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and let dry.
• Door - Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Some paper towels may scratch the glass on
the door. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse
well with damp cloth.
NOTE: Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the appliance. Ammonia or alcohol can
damage the appearance of the appliance. Never use any commercial / abrasive cleaners or sharp
objects on any part of the appliance.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How do I set my timer?
• The circular face can be turned clockwise to set the current time. The current time is indicated by
aligning the arrow on the circular face with the corresponding current hour of the day. On the pe-
rimeter of the circular face are notches that can be pushed in and out to set the times that the light
will be on or off. When the notches are pushed down, than the light will be on. Notches pulled up
will result in the light being off. Each notch represents 15 minutes of time. You can control which
hours are on or off by working around the current time you set in the beginning.
2. How do I control the fans?
• The fans are meant to be on constantly so that plants will always have an uninterrupted source of
fresh air circulating through the unit.
3. How do I control the light?
• The light is meant to be set on a timer so that plants have a consistent, predictable light and dark
cycle to get the best results. The timer ensures that you never have to remember to turn the light
on or off.
4. How often do I need to water?
• The best tip for watering is to use the trays provided. Place plant pots into the tray and water by
adding approximately an inch of water to the tray for the plants to soak up as needed. Try to keep
as least some water in the trays at all times.
5. Why does the light look purple?
• The purple tint of the light is the result of a combination of colors derived from the sun’s spectrum.
Simple white grow lights do not provide plants with the full spectrum of light that the sun provides
so the result is less healthy plants and less hearty harvests. Our ultra-efficient and advanced LED
full spectrum lights cover more spectrum than any other grow lights. The combination of the reds
and blues among other colors create the purplish color.
6. There is no power to the unit.
• Ensure that there are no blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers in your home. Ensure that the
power plug is fully inserted into the outlet. Unplug the unit, wait 2 minutes and then plug it back in.

WARRANTY PLACE HOLDER
No service, only replacement of individual
parts. No replacement on chassis.
Spoke to Linda, she has concerns on how the
warranty will be administered. She suggests
we do 90 days for all components. She says if
we are installing the light we are voiding the
warranty on the light and all responsibility
will fall to us. She thinks 2 years is too much
on a component that we do not hold the certi-
fication for.
