1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Empty all haze fluid from the machine.
3. Add cleaning solution to the Haze Fluid Reservoir.
4. Connect the product to power and allow it to warm up.
5. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the Haze Fluid Reservoir is almost empty. Do not allow
the pump to run dry.
6. Refill the Haze Fluid Reservoir with haze fluid to continue using the hazer. Run the machine briefly
to clear any remaining cleaning solution from the pump and heater.
