IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT OPEN.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, never open the unit. There are no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to the Rockville service center.
- This unit is intended for indoor use only.
- Do not expose this unit to any kind of moisture.
- Ensure the unit is situated in a properly ventilated area.
- Place the unit on a level and stable surface.
- Always connect the product to a grounded circuit and ensure the outlet voltage is within the stated range.
- Always disconnect the product from the power source before cleaning or replacing the fuse.
- Ensure the power cord is not damaged.
- Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
- The output nozzle gets very hot during operation and may remain hot for several hours after use.
- When mounting overhead, use a safety cable to prevent the product from falling.
- Ensure no flammable materials are close by during operation.
- Ensure no ventilation slots on the unit's housing are blocked.
- Replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating.
- Do not operate at temperatures higher than 104° F (40° C).
- In case of malfunction, stop using the unit immediately.
- Never connect this unit to a dimmer pack.
- This machine may set off smoke detectors.
- Only use water-based haze fluid.
- Drain the tank before transporting the product.
- During long periods of non-use, completely drain the tank and unplug from the power source.
Set-up/Operation
PLEASE NOTE: Before connecting to a power supply for the first time, fill the fluid tank with water-based haze fluid and check that the nozzle is clean and unobstructed.
Place the machine on a level surface and fill the fluid tank with water-based haze fluid. Plug the wired remote control into the socket marked REMOTE CONTROL at the rear of the unit. Switch the haze machine on and allow it to preheat for 2 minutes.
Always monitor the haze fluid level. Running the machine with no fluid can cause permanent damage. Do not touch or place anything near the nozzle during operation or preheating, as this can cause serious burns.
It is normal for the haze machine to have a reheating period after dispersing haze. The unit may shut down for a short period to reach operating temperature (572° F). During this time, no haze will be produced. The green light on the remote indicates readiness. If the unit is set to continuous or manual output, automatic dispersal will resume once the operating temperature is reached.
Due to the high operating temperature, it is advised to use the machine in well-ventilated areas and avoid obstructing air vents. Allow the unit to cool down before moving or touching after use to prevent serious burns.
These haze machines are designed for a 110V-60Hz power supply and come with a suitable power plug. Use the same type of fuse as provided.
Rock Haze units feature two remote controls with various functions. Connect the wireless remote receiver to the port marked WIRELESS REMOTE RECEIVER at the rear of the unit. The receiver has a magnetic backing for secure attachment. The control panel on the rear of the Rock Haze unit allows adjustment of three settings:
DMX OPERATION
Rock Haze units feature 2 channels of DMX controls:
- Channel 1: Controls the output of haze.
- Channel 2: Controls the fan speed (throw of haze).
Installation/Mounting
This haze machine must be used in a horizontal position on a level surface or mounted using the provided bracket. The angle of inclination must not exceed 15°.
PLEASE NOTE: For safety, use a suitable hanging clamp and safety cable.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps reduce costly replacements and repairs. Clean the machine after every 40 hours of continuous operation or when idle for extended periods. Run a cleaning solution of 80% distilled water and 20% white vinegar through the system to prevent particle accumulation in the heating element.
- While the unit is unplugged and cool, unscrew the nozzle and clean out debris with white vinegar and a pipe cleaner, ensuring the hole is unobstructed.
- Empty all haze fluid and replace with cleaning solution. Plug in and allow to heat up.
- Run until the tank is empty in a well-ventilated area.
- Replace the nozzle.
- Unplug and wait until cool before refilling with Rockville haze fluid or other water-based haze fluid.
- Wipe the exterior with a dry cloth.
- Always store the unit dry (no fluid in the tank).
Haze machines are prone to clogging due to fluid consistency and high vaporization temperatures. Proper maintenance ensures reliable use.
Maintenance/Servicing
Do not allow haze fluid to become contaminated. Always replace the cap after use.
There are no user-serviceable parts. Any internal work must be performed by a qualified technician. Removing covers voids the warranty.
Troubleshooting: If experiencing low output, pump noise, or no output, unplug immediately. Check fluid level, hose connection to the tank, external fuse, wired remote connection, wireless remote receiver, and main power supply. Ensure the tank is filled and all components are working. If issues persist after checking, contact Rockville for servicing.

Important Notes
ATTENTION: If the unit is unable to produce haze, do not continue to push the remote control button, as this may cause permanent damage.
CAUTION: This unit can pose a burn danger. Do not obstruct the nozzle. Haze output is very hot; avoid coming within 24″ of the nozzle during operation. The output nozzle becomes very hot (572° F). Keep flammable materials at least 20″ away. Allow the haze machine to cool down before cleaning or servicing.
Never use any fluid other than water-based haze fluid. Never drink haze fluid. If ingested, call a doctor immediately. If haze fluid contacts skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
Beware of condensation around the nozzle. Consider mounting carefully. Haze machines may sputter small amounts of haze during operation and briefly after being turned off.
