Assembly Instructions Insert the WATER PRESSURE CONTROL TUBE into the center of the water barrel. Fill the WATER BARREL with safe, uncontaminated water (preferably non-chlorinated water) to approximately one inch from the brim of barrel. Place the SPROUT BARREL onto the WATER BARREL. Insert the assembled WATER TUBE into the sprout barrel.It is important to align the connecting tubes carefully. If the tubes are noT connected and aligned correctly, water pressure will be lost. Place the LOWER TRAY (w/larger tabs up) into the SPROUT BARREL and sprinkle seeds evenly. Cover with the UPPER TRAY (w/larger tabs up). Place the SPRINKLER on top of the WATER TUBE and cover it with the TOP LID. Plug the FreshLife Sprouter's cord into the appropriate outlet. When your sprouts have grown to the desired height(varies with the type of seed used) they are ready to harvest. To harvest your sprouts, remove sprouts from the SPROUT BARREL. The roots will be attached to the SEED TRAY; you can pull them from the tray or cut them. Place sprouts in a bowl of clean water and agitate to separate the clumps of sprouts. After removing the sprouts from water, drain and place them in a storage container. Store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. Most sprouts will remain fresh for 4-7 days when refrigerated, but make sure you check for the freshness before consumption. Freshlife Cleaning Instruction.     a.
