The wireless remote control allows you to activate fog output and control the RGB LED lights. Buttons are typically labeled for Red, Green, Blue fog effects, and other light modes like Jump, Gradual Change, Pulse Change, Brightness, and Light Off.

5. Setup

Placement: Place the fog machine on a flat, stable surface or hang it using the provided bracket. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit and that the fog outlet is clear.
Fill Fluid Tank: Unscrew the cap of the fluid tank. Carefully pour high-quality, water-based fog fluid into the tank. Ensure the metal nozzle inside the tank is fully immersed in the fluid. Do not overfill.

Step 1: Filling the fog machine with fluid. A hand pours liquid from a bottle into the fog machine's tank, ensuring the nozzle is submerged. — **Figure 5.1:** Filling the Fluid Tank.

Connect Power: Connect the power cable to the power cord jack on the machine and then plug it into a standard grounded electrical outlet.
Power On: Flip the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. The machine will begin its warm-up cycle.
Warm-up: The machine requires approximately 2-3 minutes (or up to 8 minutes, depending on conditions) to reach operating temperature. The prompt lamp will indicate when the machine is ready.

6. Operation

Initial Fog Output: Once the machine has warmed up (indicated by the prompt lamp), press the fog button on the wireless remote control to emit fog. The machine will spray fog for approximately 25-35 seconds.

Steps of use diagram showing filling fluid, turning on power, pressing remote for fog, and selecting light colors. — **Figure 6.1:** Steps for Initial Operation and Light Control.

Continuous Operation: After the initial spray, the machine will automatically reheat for about 20-45 seconds before it is ready for the next fog emission.
Controlling RGB Lights: Use the wireless remote control to select desired light colors (Red, Green, Blue, or mixed colors) or lighting effects (Jump, Gradual Change, Pulse Change). You can choose to have all lights on, specific colors, or turn them off.

Wireless Remote Range: The wireless remote can control the machine from a distance of up to 50 meters.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your fog machine.

Fluid Tank Cleaning: After approximately 40 hours of continuous use, clean the internal piping to prevent clogs. Use a solution of 80% distilled water and 20% white vinegar. Run this solution through the machine until the tank is empty.
Nozzle Cleaning: Remove the spray nozzle and clean it with vinegar to maintain optimal acceleration before heating. Reinstall the nozzle after it cools down.
Exterior Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the exterior of the machine. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Storage: When storing the machine, ensure it is completely dry and empty of fog fluid. Store in a cool, dry place.
