Warning!
All haze machines are prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of the fog liquid and the high
temperature at which it vaporizes. However, a properly maintained fog machine should provide
years of reliable use. Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly replacement and
repair charges.
Maintenance
Do not allow the haze machine to become contaminated. After every 40 hours of continuous operation, it is recommended
to run a cleaning solution composed of 80% distilled water and 20% vinegar through the system to prevent the
accumulation of particulate matter in the heating element.
The recommended cleaning procedure is as follows:
1. Empty all fog liquid from the machine. Add cleaning solution to tank. Plug unit in and begin warm up.
2. Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is almost empty. Do not allow the pump to run dry.
3. Replace nozzle.
4. Cleaning is now complete. Refill with fog liquid. Run the machine briefly to clear any cleaning solution from the
pump and heater.
5. Do not operate the machine without liquid at any time.
Storage
1. When storing the machine, run distilled water (not tap water) through the system as described in the cleaning
regiment above. This will help avoid any particles condensing inside the pump or heater.
2. It is strongly recommended to test-run the machine on a monthly basis in order to achieve its best hazing
condition.
Never place the hazer on any flammable material (i.e. carpet, fabric etc.) during operation. All
fog/hazer machines should always be on a non-flammable surface, such as concrete or tile.
Depending on the amount of haze generated, all haze machines may set off smoke detectors.
