CAUTION

Danger of electric shock

1

• Keep this device dry.

• For indoor use only. Not designed for outdoor use.

• Use 3-prong grounded electrical outlet only. Prior to use take care to determine that the unit is installed at the

rated voltage.

• Always unplug your fog machine before filling its fluid tank.

• Keep fog machine upright.

• Turn off or unplug when not in use.

• This machine is not water or splash proof. If moisture, water, or fog liquid gets inside the housing, immediately

unplug the unit and contact a service technician or your dealer before using it again.

• No user serviceable parts inside. Refer to your dealer or other qualified service personnel.

DANGER OF BURNS

• For adult use only. Fog machine 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 60 cm of the output nozzle during operation.

• Locate the fog machine in a well-ventilated area. Never cover the unit’s vents. In order to guarantee adequate

ventilation, allow a free air space of at least 20-cm around the sides and top of the unit.

• Never aim the output nozzle at open flame.

• The output nozzle becomes very hot during operation (300 degrees C). Keep flammable materials at least 50

cm away from the nozzle.

• Always allow your fog machine to cool down before attempting to clean or service it.

DANGER OF EXPLOSION

• Never add flammable liquids of any kind (oil, gas, perfume, alcohol) to the fog liquid. Pay attention to all

warning labels and instructions printed on the exterior of your fog machine.

• Use only the high-quality, water-based fog liquid that your dealer recommends. Other fog liquids may cause

clogging or “spitting”, which could also cause slippery floors. Techni-Lux, ELITE Fogging Waterbased fluids
are highly suggested.

• Always make sure there is sufficient liquid in the fog liquid 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. Drain all fog liquid from the tank,

pack the unit securely (preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your dealer for service.

• Always drain tank before mailing or transporting this unit.

• Never drink fog liquid. If it is ingested, call a doctor immediately. If fog liquid comes in contact with skin or

eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
