• ALWAYS secure unit and lighting fixture using separate safety chains. NEVER carry the fixture by its head. Be sure the VaporFlame is secured to its light source. • PROTECT THE UNIT FROM FREEZING. DO NOT operate at ambient temperatures lower than 20°F (-6°C) or higher than 104°F (40°C).
The VF8b takes 2 channels of DMX, for individual control of the air and water output. Adjustment dials allow the user to control the fullness of the flame from the unit, creating the most realistic fake flame available.

Storing the Unit Be sure to drain remaining water from the unit before storage. 1. Briefly connect the air supply to the water in on the VF8b unit. This creates a bubble of air to clear the water line. 2. Disconnect the air supply from the unit and reconnect correctly. Run the unit using ONLY the air channel.
Any clean potable water can be used in the VF8b. In short, if you can drink it, so can the VF8b! Debris in the water line can clog and damage the VF8b unit. We recommend installing a filter for debris on the water supply line.
If VaporFlame determines the fixture is under warranty, then VaporFlame will correct the issue and ship back to owner at VaporFlame’s expense. If VaporFlame determines the fixture is not under warranty, VaporFlame will ship the fixture back to the owner at the owners expense.
