1. Introduction

The haze machine Unique2offers various new features, which open new fields
of operation to the user.

With its variable output, the machine can be used in many fields of operation.
Any desired effect can be achieved: from the finest mist to a thick haze, similar to
fog. Therefore the Unique2is able to fill rooms or halls with a constant haze,
creating the right atmosphere and is greatly enhancing lighting effects.

The pump and the fan are fully and separately controllable, giving the Unique
a good level of noise reduction. The machine can therefore be used in fields of
operation where any sound is undesirable or causes disturbance.

The ready-mixed fluid, available in canisters of 2 litres, guarantees a trouble­free operating and continuous output for up to 50 hours.

The warm up time is extremely short (max. 1 min.)

With its power requirement of 1300 watt the Unique

is very powerful.

2. Safety instructions

A fog machine is not a toy!

• Very hot steam escapes from the nozzle. Danger of getting burnt.

• Occasionally very hot droplets of fluid may escape when in operation.

Thus never aim at persons directly and keep a minimum distance of 10 ft to the
nozzle.

• Never touch the nozzle when in operation. Danger of getting burnt.

• The location for the machine must be non-flammable, non-combustible and

not sensitive to heat. It has to be twice as big as the machine.

• Keep a minimum distance of 2 ft to all flammable, combustible objects and

objects sensitive to heat.

• Never open the machine and leave the machine unattended when connected

to a power supply.

• The visibility has to be more than 6 ft in rooms where people walk around.

• Only use the supplied „UNIQUE-fluid“. Different types of fluid do not gene-

rate the fog you require and destroy your fog generator.

• Do not swallow the fog fluid. Keep it away from children. In case of eye contact,

rinse with a lot of water. Consult a doctor should you have accidentally
swallowed some fluid.

• Spilled fluid or splashed fluid droplets can cause slip hazard. Mop up the fluid

and dispose of it according to regulations. UNIQUE-fluid is completely water­soluble and biodegradable.

• Fog may activate smoke detectors.

Artificially-made fog can be produced in many different ways. The method
used here to produce fog, with a device which works according to the vaporizer
principle, is the most harmless one.

No case has so far been reported in which a sound human being has been
harmed because of using our device to produce artificial fog. However, this can
only be guaranteed if the professional fog generators are used accordingly, i.e.
at the correct vaporization temperatures as well as with the correctly mixed fog
fluid.

We, however, recommend: People with health problems or problems of the

respiratory tract or with an inclination for allergies should avoid any contact
with artificially-made fog.
