WARNING!
Note: All fog machines are prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of 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 fog liquid 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% distilled vinegar through the system to prevent the accumulation of particulate matter in
the heating element.
The recommended cleaning regimen 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 fog machine without liquid at any time.

Storage

1. When storing run distilled water (not tap water) through the system as described in the
cleaning regimen 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 fogging condition. A test-run consists of warming up the machine followed by a
few minutes of emission. After that, follow Step 1 under Storage
