SOLUTION
Adjust the flame height on both the secondary
and/or primary controls
Insert fan filter
Remove the build up of condensation
Adjust the feet under the unit to ensure that the
unit has been installed level, front to back and
side to side
Rearrange media to ensure mist outlet is not
being blocked
If the transducer is running, ensure that the
emitter is clean and free of calcium deposits or
scaling
If the transducer is not running, replace the
transducer with the provided additional transducer
Add 1/8 tsp of table salt to water reservoir to
introduce electrolytes, only repeat when mist is
not being produced correctly
Allow water to warm to room temperature.
