7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your fog machine.
- Fluid Tank: After each use, if there is remaining fluid, it is recommended to drain it back into its original container or a sealed bottle to prevent contamination.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the machine with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Nozzle Cleaning: If the fog output becomes weak or inconsistent, the nozzle may be clogged. Use a fog machine cleaning solution (available separately) or distilled water to run through the machine. Operate the machine with the cleaning solution for a few minutes, then drain and refill with fresh fog fluid.
- Storage: Store the machine in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure the fluid tank is empty or contains fresh fluid if storing for extended periods.
