MINI FOG™ Operating Instructions
MINI FOG™ Warranty Registration
Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source
voltage in your area matches the required voltage for your American
DJ® MINI FOG™ before attempting operation.
Operation: After the fog machine has been plugged into a wall
socket with a matching power supply, flip the power switch to the on
(up) position. When the unit is powered on the power switch, red LED
on the top of the unit, and the red LED on the remote (if connected)
will immediately begin to glow. The unit will automatically begin to
warm up to normal operating temperature. Warm up time may vary
but the unit will take approximately five minutes to warm to normal
operating temperature, the temperature the unit needs to turn the fog
juice in to mist. If you will be using the remote, be sure the remote
control has been connected as described in the set-up section of this
manual on the previous page. Never connect the remote control to
the unit when the unit is powered on. After the unit has warmed up
to normal operating temperature, the red LEDs on the remote (if connected) and the top of the unit will turn off indicating the unit is ready
to emit fog. To emit fog, simply press the red button on the remote or
the red button on the top of the unit. For best results, never hold the
output button down for longer than 30 seconds. If the red LEDs are
off and fog does not come out after holding the button down for 30
seconds, please contact customer support for further instructions.
Fog Juice: Always be sure there is an adequate supply of American
DJ® branded fog juice™ in the fluid reservoir. Running the fog
machine dry will cause pump failure and or clogging, a condition that
is not covered under the manufactures warranty. This is the largest
cause of failure in fog machines. Only American Fog Juice™ is recommended, not all fog juice is made the same and not all fog juice is
compatible with this fog machine. Using American DJ® branded fog
juice™ will ensure proper operation, using a third party fog juice may
clogged the unit and will void the manufactures warranty.
The MINI FOG™ carries a one year (365 days) limited warranty.
Please fill out the enclosed warranty card to validate your purchase.
All returned service items whether under warranty or not, must be
freight pre-paid and accompany a return authorization (R.A.) number. The R.A. number must be clearly written on the outside of the
return package. A brief description of the problem as well as the R.A.
number must also be written down on a piece of paper included in
the shipping carton. If the unit is under warranty, you must provide a
copy of your proof of purchase invoice. You may obtain a R.A. number by contacting our customer support team on our toll free customer support number. All packages returned to the service department
not displaying a R.A. number on the outside of the package will be
returned to the shipper.
MINI FOG™ Trouble Shooting
If you experience low fog output, pump noise, or no fog output at all,
disconnect and discontinue use immediately. Do not attempt to continue pushing the remote control’s activation button as this may damage the fog machine. Check fluid level, the external fuse or breaker,
remote connection, and be sure the wall outlet is sending power. If
all of the above appear to be okay, and the unit fails to operate correctly, the unit will require service. Return the machine to an American
DJ® authorized dealer or service center.
Caution: Before removing or replacing the remote control unit be
sure main power has been turned off.
