Danger of Electric Shock

Use a 3-prong grounded electrical outlet only. Prior to use, take care to determine that the
unit is installed at the rated voltage.
Turn off or unplug the machine when not in use.
This machine is spray-proof. However, the attached remote controller is not spray-proof.
When operating this unit outdoors or in humid environment, please do not let the nozzle
exceed horizontal level. Otherwise, water might go into the nozzle and damage the unit.
Also, an earth leakage circuit breaker must be installed to prevent possible electrical shock
accident.
No user serviceable parts inside. Contact your ANTARI dealer or other qualified service
personnel when maintenance is required. Removing upper cover or modifying any part of the
machine randomly might cause danger and disable the spray-proof and dust-proof functions.
spray-proof means basically, the IP - 1 0 0 0 can be operated outdoors or in hu m i d
environments as long as an earth leakage circuit breaker is installed. However, please do
not put the whole machine into water as this model is not completely waterproof.

Danger of Burns

This device is for adult use only and must be installed out of the reach of children. Never
leave the unit running unattended.
Never aim the output nozzle directly at people.
Fog machine output is very hot. Avoid coming within 50 cm of the output nozzle during
operation.
Never aim the output nozzle at open flames.
The output nozzle becomes very hot during operation (200° C). Keep flammable materials at
least 50 cm away from the nozzle.
Always allow your ANTA RI fog machine to cool down before attempting to clean or service it.

Danger of Explosion

Never add flammable liquids of any kind (such as oil, gas, perfume) to the fog liquid or fluid
tank.
Use only Antari high-quality, water-based fog liquid that your dealer recommends. Other fog
liquids may cause clogging or damage the fog machine.

Always make sure there is sufficient liquid in the tank. Operating this unit without liquid will
cause damage to the pump as well as over-heating of the heater.
If your fog machine fails to work properly, discontinue use immediately. Pack the unit
securely (preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your ANTARI dealer for
service.

Pay attention to all warning labels and instructions printed

on the exterior of your ANTARI fog machine

Performance Note

All fog machines develop condensation around the output nozzle. Because this may result in
some moisture accumulation on the surface below the output nozzle, consider this
condensation when installing your unit.
All fog machines may sputter small amounts of fog occasionally during operation and for a
minute or so after being turned off.
All fog machines have a recycling period after long bursts when the machine will shut itself
down for a short period in order to heat up again. During this time no fog can be produced.

Cleaning and Storage

Cleaning your fog machine regularly can help you reduce the frequency of parts replacement
and the cost of maintenance.

After 40 hours operation, we suggest you use distilled water to clean the heater as following
steps:

1. Fill proper distilled water into a clean tank and connect the fluid tube of the fog machine to
the tank.

2. Run the fog machine in a well ventilated place until the tank is empty.

3. Use dry cloth to wipe the fog machine.

If the fog machine is not in use, please clean it before storage. Store the fog machine in a dry
and cool place. At least run the fog machine once a month.

Please save this user manual carefully.
