NOTE: Use original K1 molecular haze fluid only. This machine is NOT compatible with other Swefog liquids, and no OEM fluids.

Make sure that persons subjected to haze and fluids are not allergic to the substance. The original Swefog fluid is made with food-grade chemicals only and is non-toxic. But always ensure the haze will not cause inconvenience.
Service internal parts ONLY if you have the know-how and experience to perform the service correctly. If not, please contact a Swefog service center or the manufacturer. NOTE: Incorrect service and/or use of non-original spare parts will void the warranty.
