8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power | Power cable disconnected; outlet fault; fuse blown | Check power cable connection; test outlet; replace fuse (if accessible and safe to do so) |
| No fog output after warm-up | Fluid tank empty; pump clogged; heater issue | Refill fluid tank; perform fluid system maintenance; contact service if issue persists |
| Low fog output | Low fluid level; partially clogged nozzle; insufficient warm-up | Check fluid level; perform fluid system maintenance; allow full warm-up time |
| Machine overheating | Blocked ventilation; continuous operation beyond limits (unlikely for continuous duty, but check) | Ensure clear ventilation around the unit; allow to cool down; contact service if persistent |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Antari customer support or an authorized service center.
