Quick Start You are no doubt eager to switch on the machine and try it out by making a lot of fog. This section tells you how to do that. However, please also make the time to read the safety and servicing instructions in the remainder of this manual. S e t t i n g u p Locate the machine in a suitably large area with nothing in front of the fog output.
