Maintenance

• Regularly check the oil level to prevent dry burning.
• Clean the device and accessories after each use to ensure longevity and optimal performance.

• Weak Fog Output: Increase the density setting via the device controls or remote. Ensure the fan speed is appropriate for the desired effect.
• Device Overheating: The smart overheat protection should prevent this. If the device feels excessively hot, power it off and allow it to cool down before resuming use. Ensure proper ventilation.
• Remote Not Responding: Check the remote's battery. Ensure the remote is within the 10m operating range and has a clear line of sight to the device.
