3. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the fog machine and all accessories from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage.
2. Placement: Place the machine on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation (at least 60cm clearance). Do not place the machine on carpet or other flammable materials.
3. Fluid Filling: Unscrew the cap of the fluid reservoir. Carefully pour Antari FLR or FLG liquid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Ensure the dip tube is fully submerged in the fluid. Securely screw the cap back on.
4. Remote Connection: Connect the Z-10 wired remote control to the designated port on the back of the fog machine.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (AC100V/AC120V/AC230V/AC240V 50Hz-60Hz).

4. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Flip the main power switch on the back of the unit to the 'ON' position. The machine will begin to warm up.
2. Warm-up Time: The initial warm-up time is approximately 100 seconds. The indicator light on the remote control will illuminate when the machine is ready to produce fog.
3. Producing Fog: Once the ready indicator light is on, press and hold the button on the Z-10 remote control to emit fog. Release the button to stop fog production.
4. Continuous Output: The Z-800 II is designed for continuous output, meaning it can produce fog as long as the button is held down and the fluid level is sufficient, without requiring reheating cycles during operation.
5. Optional Remotes: If using the optional Z-40 Timer Remote or Z-50 Wireless Remote, refer to their respective instructions for specific operation details. These remotes offer timed intervals or wireless activation.
6. Power Off: After use, turn off the main power switch on the back of the machine and disconnect it from the power outlet.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Antari Z-800 II Fog Machine.

Fluid Management:

• Always use high-quality, water-based fog fluid specifically designed for fog machines, such as Antari FLR or FLG liquid. Using other types of fluid can damage the machine and void the warranty.
• Do not mix different types of fog fluid.
• Store fog fluid in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• If the machine will not be used for an extended period, drain the fluid reservoir and run the machine with distilled water for a few minutes to clean the pump and heater coil.

Cleaning:

• Regularly clean the exterior of the machine with a soft, dry cloth.
• Ensure the air vents are free from dust and debris to prevent overheating.
• Do not immerse the machine in water or any other liquid.
